# Using Sparrow With Sating

### Sparrow Wallet has some great features you can use with Sating to improve your hunting.&#x20;

There are lots of videos out there on how to use Sparrow wallet, including a tremendous video in [BTC Behind The Scenes](/welcome-to-sating.io/btc-behind-the-scenes.md).  It is important to know how BTC works, as well as what Sats, UTXOs and Ranges are to improve your sat hunting proficiency.

I think the most important way Sparrow helps me is to notify me when something happens in my wallets.  When you transfer you can only move one sat in each UTXO at a time (unless youa re using the Satchel).  I used to do a transfer, then watch mempool.space to see when the transaction occurred so I could move other sats in the UTXO.  When you also have Sparrow Wallet up you will get a pop up notification letting you know when this happens, leaving you to do other important ordinal related stuff (or write documentation like I am) while you wait instead of watching mempool.

You can use the 12 word phrase to import your wallet to Sparrow.  Then just leave it connected as you hunt to see the notifications.

The second way I use Sparrow is to move all the UTXOs I am done pulling from back to an exchange while other UTXOs are waiting for the blockchain to move.  Sometimes we all get stuck putting in a low fee only to discover later that nothing has moved and it might be hours before our transfer happens.  You can look at the UTXOs in Sparrow, select all the ones not locked, and send just those back.

You can see the last UTXO below only has .12 BTC Unconfirmed.  With Sparrow I can simply select the other two and send them back to recycle the other 1.7 BTC in sats while the .12 waits.

Lastly, I use Sparrow to keep track of inventory.  There is a Label field you can use to add a note next to each UTXO.  If you have lots of wallets keeping up with which UTXO has which sat can be difficult.  Plus, you might keep sats that are not recognized as valuable in Sating, such as 1910111111111111.  Sparrow lets you sort by the label field so if you enter the sat number there you can quickly find the one you are looking for and select it.

The UTXOs are listed at the bottom of the Sating main page after you connect your wallet.  Pull down the UTXO and take a look at the sat you saved there, then copy/paste it into the label field in Sparrow.
