Summary
He has no company behind him, charges nothing for the software, and has kept building it for six years on the belief that it has value for people who want real control of their money. Sparrow is a tool for people who take Bitcoin self-custody seriously, the kind of users who want to see every detail of what their wallet is doing, manage their own transaction privacy, and hold their own keys rather than trust a third party. Raw designed it to educate as much as to function, building in tool tips, UTXO visibility, and transaction detail that most wallets hide from users. That last point is now at the center of a fight with Apple that could end his ability to ship software on Mac entirely.
