icon ⚡️ Superpowers for you and your Bitcoin Lightning node! Use and manage your node wherever you are. ⚡️

BitBanana is a native Android app for node operators focused on user experience and ease of use.
While it is not a wallet on its own, BitBanana works like a remote control, allowing you to use your node as a wallet wherever you go.
The app is designed with an educational approach, providing the user with guidance on every aspect of node operation.

BitBanana is open source and fully self-custodial, which means you are in full control of your funds.

Features:
- Manage multiple nodes
- On-chain transactions and lightning payments
- Channel management
- Routing summary
- Contacts
- Sign/Verify
- NFC support
- Tor support
- 100% open source
... and many other features to explore!

WhatsNew:

Fixes connections over Tor, which stopped working on Oct 28 due to a change in the Tor network. If you connect to your node over Tor, please also make sure your node software (e.g. Umbrel) is up to date.

Also:
- Blocks the compromised eMudhra certificate authority
- More reliable LND connection process
- Clearer Core Lightning connection errors
- Updated translations

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
