About:
Specter Desktop is a GUI for Bitcoin Core that enables multi-signature and hardware wallet workflows. It acts as a coordinator for air-gapped devices, supporting PSBTs, air-gapped signing, and watch-only wallets. The tool simplifies node management and enhances security by keeping private keys offline.
Key Features:
  • Hardware wallet integration (Trezor, Ledger, Coldcard, etc.)
  • Multi-signature wallet coordination
  • PSBT support for air-gapped workflows
  • Bitcoin Core node management interface
Use Cases:
  • Setting up a secure multi-sig vault
  • Using hardware wallets with a personal node
  • Creating and broadcasting transactions offline
Alternatives:
  • Electrum – Electrum is a lightweight wallet with its own network; Specter relies on your own Bitcoin Core node.
  • Sparrow Wallet – Sparrow is a desktop wallet focused on UX; Specter emphasizes multi-sig coordination and node integration.
