This release introduces Circles and JIT Wallets, two new ways to share your node's Lightning liquidity with other people, along with backup security improvements, continued localization polish, and several reliability fixes.
What's New
⭕ Circles — give people real wallets, without giving them a node
Not everyone who wants a Lightning wallet wants to run one. A Circle lets you extend your own node to friends, family, or a team: each person gets a real, personal wallet with their own balance, backed by your channels and liquidity, with none of the operational burden.
- Every member gets their own wallet: Full balance, send, and receive — indistinguishable from any other Lightning wallet, just hosted on your node instead of theirs.
- Fee-free transfers, in-circle: A payment between two circle members never leaves your node, so it settles instantly with no routing fee — like moving money between sub-accounts of the same bank account. Payments to anyone outside the circle still go out over ordinary Lightning.
- Self-service membership: Open your circle to an explicit allowlist, or automatically admit anyone you already follow on nostr — members request their own wallet on demand, no manual setup per person.
- Identity management: New screens for managing the nostr identities and authorities behind your circles.
⚡ JIT Wallets — pay people who aren't ready to collect yet
A JIT (Just-In-Time) Wallet lets you set money aside for someone before they have a way to receive it — a payroll run, a referral reward, an airdrop to a list of pubkeys.
- Fund now, claim later: Recipients don't need a working wallet at the moment you commit the funds — each one generates their own invoice and claims their exact share only when they're ready.
- Everyone shares one connection, safely: A single JIT Wallet can serve multiple recipients at once. Each can only ever claim their own pre-set amount, never anyone else's and never more than what was set aside for them.
🌍 Localization
- Continued RTL and translation polish across the app, building on the multi-language support introduced in the previous release.
Fixes & Improvements
🔒 Backup Security
- Backups now use a stronger, versioned encryption format. Existing backups from earlier versions remain fully restorable.
✅ Reliability
- Fixed the "Deactivate" button on the AutoSwap screen, which was not correctly turning off auto-swap-out.
- Redesigned the connection details view with clearer copy-to-clipboard actions.
- General stability and correctness improvements across payment and wallet handling.
