Armory is one of the earliest and most advanced Bitcoin wallet software from that era. It was designed for users who wanted full control over their private keys, offering features like multi-signature transactions. Because of its complexity, Armory attracted more experienced users — some of whom may have used it in Bitcoin’s early days, stored their coins securely, and then lost track of where the wallet files ended up.
If you suspect you once used Armory and want to locate your old wallet files, you have two options: you can either search for them manually or let my software, Treasure Hunter, do it automatically for you.
The manual way
Armory wallet files can be located almost anywhere on your computer, depending on how the software was installed or used. However, the paths below are good starting points if you want to look for them manually.
On Windows, check these folders for a file whose name ends with .wallet:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ArmoryC:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Armory
On macOS, check this folder for a file whose name ends with .wallet:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Armory
If you can’t find any folder named Armory, you can try using your computer’s search function to look for files
whose name ends with .wallet or contains the words armory or keylist. These are good indicators that you’ve
found Armory-related files.
The automatic way
Manually searching for wallet files can be tedious, especially if you renamed or moved them years ago. You may have to search through thousands of folders, and even then, you could easily miss something important. Moreover, the manual approach doesn’t scale well if you want to check multiple computers or storage devices.
That’s where Treasure Hunter comes in. It can automatically scan your entire computer or external drives — including HDDs, SSDs, USB keys, SD cards, CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs — and detect any Armory wallet files, even if they’ve been renamed or hidden. The software works on Windows, macOS and Linux.
