About

Bitcoin desktop wallet for power users. CoinJoin, full node, hardware wallet support, complete UTXO control. (Zero KYC)

Analysis

OVERVIEW

Sparrow puts full node connection, CoinJoin through Whirlpool, PSBT signing and complete UTXO control into one free desktop app, built and maintained by a single independent developer, Craig Raw.

LIMITS

Jurisdiction is unlisted here and confidence on it is marked unknown; no company is named behind the project and no third-party audit is listed, so continuity and independent verification both rest on one developer.

USEFUL FOR

Desktop Bitcoin management for power users running full nodes, CoinJoin and hardware wallets together.
