Trézór Bridge — Introducing the New Trézór App

One bridge. One app. Total control — reimagined.

Welcome to the next generation of Trezor software: a unified experience that replaces the legacy Bridge utility and brings hardware-level security together with a sleek, modern app. This presentation walks you through what changed, why it matters, and how to get started safely.

Open the Trezor App

Why merge Bridge into one app?

Historically, the Trezor Bridge acted as the small desktop helper enabling browsers and apps to talk to your device. As the ecosystem evolved, Trezor consolidated functionality into the new, supported Trezor App (Trezor Suite + integrated connectivity). This simplifies setup, reduces attack surface, and streamlines updates — fewer moving pieces means better security and a more consistent UX.

Core benefits

  • Simplified setup: No separate Bridge install — the app bundles everything.
  • Auto-updates: Security and feature updates delivered in one place.
  • Cross-platform: Desktop and web-first design keeps parity across environments.
  • Better UX: Unified portfolio, device settings, and transaction flow.
  • Reduced support friction: Fewer compatibility issues to troubleshoot.

Security improvements

The integrated app continues Trezor’s hardware-first model: signing remains on-device, recovery seeds stay offline, and the app only acts as a signed witness to transactions. Consolidation helped Trezor remove legacy code paths and centralize security audits.

Who should move now?

All users are encouraged to transition to the new app. If you still have a legacy standalone Bridge installed, official guidance strongly recommends uninstalling it and switching to the Trezor App for the smoothest experience.

How to get started (quick)

  1. Download the Trezor App for your OS or open it in the browser from the official site.
  2. Connect your Trezor device via USB/USB-C and follow the onscreen setup.
  3. Restore or create a new wallet using the on-device seed process.
  4. Explore portfolio, send/receive, and advanced settings.
Quick command snippet (developer)

Feature highlight — what’s new in the app

Portfolio & management

Real-time balances, multi-account layouts, coin management, and integrated activity history keep everything in one window. No additional plugins required.

Device & backups

Device firmware updates, device verification, and recovery workflows are centralized and guided. The App provides contextual help and links to official learn resources to reduce mistakes.

Developer ecosystem

Trezor’s open-source repos and developer tools (Connect, Suite monorepo) keep integration easy for third-party wallets and services while preserving the hardware isolation model.

Migration checklist — safe steps

  • Back up your recovery seed before making changes.
  • Uninstall any old standalone Bridge packages if present.
  • Always download the app from the official Trezor domain or verified app stores.
  • Verify firmware signatures during updates and avoid links from social posts.
