About BitBanana

BitBanana is an Android control app for operating a user’s Bitcoin Lightning node. It is not a wallet on its own; instead, it connects to a node so the user can manage funds and node functions while away from the machine running it. The product describes itself as fully self-custodial, meaning users retain control of their funds through their own node rather than handing custody to the app operator. Features include managing multiple nodes, making on-chain transactions and Lightning payments, managing channels, viewing routing summaries, and maintaining contacts. The app also supports signing and verifying, NFC, and Tor. It is open source and is designed for node operators who want a mobile control surface and guidance while working with their node. Because BitBanana is a remote interface rather than a standalone wallet, its use depends on having a compatible Lightning node and configuring access to it. The available information does not detail connection setup, supported node implementations, payment limits, or backup and recovery. It should be understood as a way to use and manage a node from Android, not as an independent custodial service or a replacement for the node itself.
