Sparrow Wallet is a Bitcoin-only software wallet that focuses on financial self-sovereignty, privacy, and usability. It is often favored by advanced users for its ability to connect to a private Electrum server or full node, as well as its support for coin control and mixing.
While it is usually best practice to run the latest software, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to download an older version of the wallet software to access funds that were secured years ago.
Where to find the files
If you have determined that you need a previous release to recover your assets, you can find the necessary files in the project’s official repository. Binaries for Sparrow Wallet 0.5 and above are available for download on GitHub.
To retrieve them, you should navigate to Sparrow Wallet’s GitHub repository. From there, look for the “Releases” section. You will need to scroll down to find the specific version number that corresponds to the era in which your funds were stored. Once you locate the correct version, expand the “Assets” list to find the installer compatible with your operating system.
