Scan for wallet files, keys and seeds
More than a crypto wallet search.
Scan PCs, old drives, USBs and backups for wallet files, seed phrases, private keys and browser-wallet traces. Choose a scan type, review confidence and coverage, and follow the evidence. Home and Technician also recover eligible deleted NTFS data.
Search for deleted wallet material
Read supported NTFS drives and save eligible deleted files, seed phrases or keys to another physical disk. Home and Technician; recovery and funds are not guaranteed.
More clues to forgotten crypto accounts
Find exchange sign-up, deposit, withdrawal and purchase clues in supported local email exports. Clues are not proof of funds.
Make useful checks a routine
Choose daily or weekly checks for one location. CryptoTrace rechecks it while the app is open, so you can review changes.
Give customers a clearer handover
Add case notes and recorded recovery steps to an HTML handover report, giving customer jobs an organized record.
Trial includes limited checks. Home and Technician unlock saved history, comparisons and repeat checks. Trial cannot run or preview deleted-data recovery. Activate a paid Home or Technician license to start it.
Local, read-only checks. Supported formats and coverage limits apply. See supported formats

From choosing a scan to reviewing the findings
Choose a scan type
Quick checks known wallet locations. Deep searches file contents. Old drives and Browser wallets focus the search; Technician adds forensic-image candidate scans.
Choose where to scan
Select This PC, a drive or a folder. Use Advanced for a custom path and Settings for exclusions and an SSD, NVMe or HDD performance profile.
Run the scan
Click Scan and follow progress. Review completion and coverage warnings; a stopped or limited scan does not prove that no wallet exists.
Review and keep the evidence
Filter findings by confidence, inspect recovery leads and choose the next step. Paid editions reveal full paths and export JSON/HTML reports; Copy Safe Summary redacts secrets.
Choose your License
One-time license for local discovery and repeatable checks. Choose personal use or commercial customer recovery work. Read supported NTFS drives and save eligible deleted files, seed phrases or keys to another physical disk. Home and Technician; recovery and funds are not guaranteed.

Forensic-Grade Offline Crypto Discovery
CryptoTrace checks local evidence without uploading scan contents. Trial app-use telemetry is disclosed; public Bitcoin activity checks remain opt-in.
Wallet scanning is the main workflow. Other tools recover eligible deleted NTFS material, inspect supported backups and check files before sharing. Paid history, comparisons and opt-in repeat checks organize follow-up; Technician adds source queues, cases, handover and encrypted evidence reports. Recognition does not verify restoration, access or funds.
CryptoTrace user guideFrequently Asked Questions
What does CryptoTrace detect exactly?
Wallet artifacts, validated recovery material and public traces; supported exchange-account clues; and labelled credentials, password-export CSVs and private-key containers in Privacy check. Unsupported areas are not a clean-device certificate.
Does CryptoTrace upload any data or modify files?
Checks are read-only and local. Saved history keeps paths and metadata locally, not raw secret values. Trial telemetry sends app-use metadata; optional public Bitcoin lookups send the selected address only after consent.
What are the Trial vs Pro limits?
Trial has three uses shared between scans and backup checks, with recovery paths hidden. Home adds unlimited checks, full paths, reports, saved comparisons, backup comparisons and repeat checks. Technician includes Home plus customer cases, notes, a ten-source queue, image candidates and encrypted reports.
How accurate is detection? How are false positives reduced?
Checksum and structure validators, context checks, noise suppression, and deduplication reduce false positives.
Can I scan external drives or choose a custom path?
Yes. Attach or mount the drive and choose its path, or enter a custom folder.
Which performance profile should I choose?
Balanced (default), NVMe High for very fast SSDs, or HDD Safe for slower disks.
How do I save and share reports?
Pro can save JSON and HTML recovery reports. Safe Summary copies a redacted support summary without paths, seeds, keys, or full tokens.
What files are intentionally ignored and why?
Noisy system artifacts, large or binary files, and known irrelevant caches are skipped or given lower priority.
How is licensing enforced?
Pro uses a signed license file verified locally by the app. Production builds reject unsigned licenses.
Support and contact
Email hello@crypto-trace.app. See the Help Center for guides.
Can it confirm my backup will restore access?
No complete restoration or funds check is performed. Supported Electrum metadata distinguishes key-material states; supported Ethereum v3 PBKDF2/AES-128-CTR checks can test a known password locally. Core integrity checks, Scrypt and other password formats are unsupported.
Do repeat checks run when I close the app?
No. Daily/weekly checks run only while CryptoTrace is open. Missed checks run after reopening when the app is idle. No Windows service or startup task is installed.
Is an empty Privacy check safe to share?
Not necessarily. Read the coverage details: encrypted or nested archives, images, PDF/OCR and unsupported formats are not inspected. Correct a working copy yourself and check again; CryptoTrace does not delete files or revoke credentials.
Can CryptoTrace recover deleted wallet data?
Home and Technician include deleted-wallet recovery. Choose Deleted wallets, select the physical drive and save to another physical disk. Trial requires activation before recovery starts. Supports 512-byte logical sectors, including 512e; 4Kn is unsupported. Overwritten, erased or incomplete data may be unrecoverable. Encryption is preserved; recovered files can contain secrets. Recovery, wallet access and funds are not guaranteed. Trial cannot run or preview deleted-data recovery. Activate a paid Home or Technician license to start it.
Which scan type should I choose?
Quick checks known wallet locations. Deep searches file contents. Old drives and Browser wallets focus the search; Technician adds forensic-image candidate scans. Select This PC, a drive or a folder. Use Advanced for a custom path and Settings for exclusions and an SSD, NVMe or HDD performance profile.
