Not everyone wants to type JSON-RPC commands or navigate text prompts. GUI wallets are built for everyday users: they feature clickable menus, easy address generation, and (often) integrated fee estimation. Bitcoin Core itself offers a GUI version, though power users might prefer the command line for advanced tasks.

Other GUI wallets range from simple mobile apps to robust desktop clients with multi-sig support. The common denominator is accessibility—a well-designed interface can reduce friction, making Bitcoin more approachable to newcomers. Security, however, isn’t necessarily guaranteed by the presence of a GUI; the underlying code and best practices for key management remain paramount.
