The home page of the application is a single dashboard that surfaces the node's full state at a glance:
- Node identity — the node's alias, version and connection status (green dot = connected).
- Bookkeeper — opens the Bookkeeper dashboard with accounting and routing analytics.
- Settings — units (SATS/BTC), fiat currency, light/dark theme and password configuration.
- The lock icon logs out of the session; the moon/sun icon toggles the theme directly.
- Total Balance — combined on-chain + Lightning funds.
- The summary strip beside it shows Active Channels, connected Peers,
and Maximum Send / Maximum Receive — the node's total outbound and
inbound Lightning capacity. In sats mode these two values are shown in full
up to 999,999 sats and in millions above that (for example
1.5M,74.89M); hover over a value to see its fiat equivalent.
On-chain funds. Withdraw sends to a bitcoin address, Deposit generates a receive address, and the list below shows on-chain transactions (deposits and withdrawals) with their fiat value.
Off-chain funds. Send pays a BOLT11 invoice, BOLT12 offer or keysend; Receive generates invoices and offers. Two tabs list the node's Transactions (paid/received payments) and Offers. Step-by-step guides: Send & Receive Payments and BOLT12 Offers.
Every channel with its state dot (green = active, yellow = pending, red = inactive), peer alias and a liquidity bar (yellow = local / spendable, grey = remote / receivable). Clicking a channel opens its detail view; Open Channel starts a new one — see Opening a Channel.
Detailed walkthroughs, with screenshots, for the flows available from this dashboard:
| Guide | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Send & Receive | Receiving via BOLT11 invoice + QR, and paying a pasted invoice |
| BOLT12 Offers | Creating a reusable offer, its QR, and the same offer paid more than once |
| Opening a Channel | Peer + amount → pending → active, and reading a channel's liquidity |
