My friend has 12 words from an old wallet he had, I think it was originally BRD (aka BreadWallet) and he’s trying to restore it and nothing is showing up.

What is the best app that will check all the possible derivation paths etc?

Nice! In the future, when setting up a wallet, note also the master key fingerprint (XFP). Sparrow makes this easy to find in the signers configuration area.

If you write down the XFP along with the seed words, then later when you’re trying to recover, you can confirm that you got the words and derivation path right without relying on the wallet finding the funds. That is, you can confirm that the wallet is correct, even offline.
