BitBanana

BitBanana is an open-source, native Android application for people who operate Bitcoin Lightning nodes. It provides a mobile interface for using and managing a node rather than functioning as an independent wallet. In the MirrorNest catalog, it is classified under Wallet because it lets users use their own node for wallet-related activity.

The app supports management of multiple nodes, allowing node operators to work with more than one node from the same Android application. It supports both on-chain transactions and Lightning payments. Channel management and routing summaries are included for node-related tasks. Other listed capabilities include contacts, Sign/Verify, NFC support, and Tor support.

BitBanana is designed with an educational approach that provides guidance across aspects of node operation. Its remote-control role allows users to access their node-based wallet functions from an Android device. The application is fully self-custodial, so users remain in control of their funds.

MirrorNest mirrors the official BitBanana build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before publishing. This distribution setup gives Android users a catalog copy of the official build while keeping the application aligned with its open-source license and Wallet category.
