Without a seed phrase for multi-sig capability, you might want to check on Wasabi Wallet. It's really focused on privacy and pretty locked down for people who prefer, and it's specifically built over the Bitcoin protocol. Wasabi has gained real traction, especially after Taproot went live and is considered a valid alternative to Sparrow. If you want more mobile options, then Samourai Wallet might be something to consider,  it supports advanced features for privacy, though it is a bit more focused on Android. You will need to do some weighing on pros and cons of each depending on your needs.

Enable v2transport=1 and mempoolfullrbf=1
If you are looking for multisig functionality specifically, try Liana wallet. If you don't need multisig, then you should use Wasabi Wallet for complete privacy.

For airgapped signing devices like SeedSigner, Sparrow is the best I've come across. Not totally sure, but Specter is also used for airgapped multi-sig purposes. For mobile, I think BlueWallet can be used for airgapped signing, but I wouldn't recommend using a mobile device for that use, as they're designed to connect to as many networks as possible (which is the opposite of airgapped).

I don't think there's multi-sig taproot support in any of these wallet software yet.

Here’s the translation of my previous message into English:

---

Here’s my opinion on the wallets I mentioned, considering your search criteria (multi-signature, compatibility with hardware wallets, air-gapped functionality, and support for Taproot):

### 1. **Wasabi Wallet**
   - **Advantages**: Excellent privacy features and advanced functionalities. The interface is fairly intuitive for users already familiar with the wallet concept.
   - **Disadvantages**: It can be a bit complex for new users, and the multi-signature support may require more technical setup.

### 2. **Samourai Wallet**
   - **Advantages**: Highly focused on privacy, with many interesting features. Mobile compatibility is a plus for daily use.
   - **Disadvantages**: Support for specific multi-signature configurations may not be as robust as that of other wallets. Check for air-gapped specifics.

### 3. **Nunchuk Wallet**
   - **Advantages**: Modern and user-friendly interface, with support for multi-signature and Taproot, which is a major plus for your search.
   - **Disadvantages**: Being a relatively new wallet, it may lack some advanced features or recognition compared to more established ones.

### 4. **Blockstream Green**
   - **Advantages**: Good balance between security and usability. Blockstream's reputation in the industry is a strong point.
   - **Disadvantages**: For Taproot support, you need to check for updates, and some users may find the interface slightly less intuitive.

### 5. **Specter Desktop**
   - **Advantages**: Very powerful and customizable, ideal for advanced users. Excellent option for air-gapped use with hardware wallets.
   - **Disadvantages**: It may be too complex for users looking for a simple solution, and the interface can seem less user-friendly for beginners.

### 6. **Hodl Wallet**
   - **Advantages**: Simple and easy to use, especially for those looking for a mobile solution. Multi-signature setup is convenient.
   - **Disadvantages**: For advanced features like Taproot, it’s important to check if it offers that support.

### Conclusion:
If you’re looking for a robust solution that supports multi-signature and Taproot, **Nunchuk Wallet** and **Specter Desktop** seem to be the best choices. **Nunchuk** offers a nice interface for mobile users, while **Specter** is perfect for more technical and air-gapped usage.

For a mobile option, **Samourai Wallet** is a good alternative, but make sure it meets your specific multi-signature needs.

I recommend testing a few of these wallets to see which one suits you best in terms of interface and features. Feel free to keep me updated on your trials or if you need any more advice!

Which one have you used?

Anyay, now I'm looking for other wallets like Sparrow, but I haven't find any so far. For example, I just tried Electrum (deskopt and mobile) but that one just requires a seed phrase.

So my question is, what are good equivalents of Sparrow wallets? I would also love to have one for mobile, that would be great I think. Is there a wallet that has multi-sig on Taproot?
You can use this tool from Bitcoin.org to choose wallets.
https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

Depends on your need, you can move step by step, and tick on things you need to filter wallets. For example, with following links, you will have Bitcoin Core, Sparrow wallet and Specter wallet.

When I sign (on the hardware wallet) that device will tell me how much bitcoin I'm about to send and to which address. So there is no way it can steel my bitcoins, right?
Yes, that's the whole purpose of the airgapped setup. Whatever transaction your wallet software is constructing on your Internet connected computer, you can verify that it's legitimate by viewing the contents on your airgapped device. (You must have exported the unsigned transaction in a safe way, such as via scanning a QR code.)

I have only tried SeedSigner, and it does display which inputs I'm spending, which addresses I own, and to which address(es) I'm spending those inputs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I use airgapped hardware wallets to sign, it doesn't really matter what app I use. When I sign (on the hardware wallet) that device will tell me how much bitcoin I'm about to send and to which address. So there is no way it can steel my bitcoins, right?

I will check to the wallets you mention, thanks for the suggestions!

I want to test some Bitcoin wallets for multi-sig  (2 out of 3) support with Air gapped hardware wallets. So I'm not looking for wallets which require a seed phrase!

The first wallet I tested was Sparrow wallet. Works just great, no comments (well, except that it was not able to use the camera on my Raspberry Pi 5 Sad
