Users can connect the app to Lightning nodes and wallets including Alby Hub<\/a>, Umbrel, Start9, LifPay and CoinOS to enable self-custodial Lightning payments. The app most easily integrates with Alby Hub, an open-source wallet that Alby recently released<\/a> that makes Lightning nodes easy to access and use from multiple devices. Alby Go also provides a straightforward wallet interface to Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC)<\/a>-enabled Lightning wallets.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlby Go is our next step in making bitcoin accessible everywhere, now bringing it to users’ pockets,\u201d said Alby co-founder Alby Michael Bumann in a press release. \u201cBy utilizing the NWC messaging protocol, we facilitate seamless use of multiple nodes and wallets in a lightweight app.”<\/p>\n

Other features of Alby Go include a contact list, which lets users store Lightning addresses of frequent contacts for quick and convenient transactions; currency conversion and dark\/light theme settings.<\/p>\n

Alby Go is currently in version 1.5 and Alby encourages users to contact the Alby team<\/a> with suggestions on how to improve the app. The app\u2019s code is open-source<\/a> and ready for reviews and contributions.<\/p>\n
