I love cold card “q” paired with sparrow and ur own node (multisig is even better)…but this is not a simple/convenient set up and clearly not for everyone.
An alternative (esp for convenience and simplicity) is “nunchuck” (it can be used via free phone app and has concierge (for a fee) customer service available).
It’s very simple and can be easily paired with multiple different cold wallets (cold card, jade, foundation passport/envoy etc). Most importantly if ur seeking easy/convenient control of self custodied BTC it can quickly be paired with any of the above and/or Coin kite tapsigners.
The Tapsigners are very intuitive and (if ur interested) make multisig a breeze. The only negative for you with the Tapsigners is they will require nfc on ur phone…but for the “simplicity” it may be worth getting a new phone🤷🏽♂️.
Also another thought is the Coldcard “q” which is much simpler and intuitive than the old cold card mark IV and has built in NFC
Another great thing about nunchuck with Tapsigners and multisig is they make distribution of keys among ur heirs very easy (one for each heir and the last required for full multisig signing given to a trusted independent actor) while u maintain the majority of keys. For example u have 3 heirs and a trusted friend/associate and create a 4 out of 9 multisignature wallet. You keep 5 keys safely and preferably geographically separate and ur heirs and associate have the cumulative power to sign if something happens to you.
For ease of more regular use you can keep a small amount of BTC in a single signature account/wallet also on the same nunchuck app to transfer small amounts on chain or top off lightning/ecash accts.
By the way nunchuck itself is a watch only app which doesn’t see ur private keys. This prevents “nunchuck”, ur phone provider/OS and cellular service company from having access to ur funds.
Srry…I know I rambled on there but I hope this helps
