The LilBit feed: a video with the creator's name, hashtags and a like button A creator page with a grid of their videos and a Follow button Activity: likes, zaps and new followers Give a LilBit: a few sats go to whoever you're watching

How it works

Three verbs.
That is the whole app.

01

Watch

A vertical feed of short videos from public Nostr relays. Follow who you like, block who you don't. It starts the moment the app opens.

02

Give

Turn on Support and a few sats flow to whoever you are watching, at a rate you set. Double-tap to tip. Real bitcoin, sent as a public zap from a wallet only you control.

03

Make

Tap + to record or pick a clip. It publishes under your own key, so it shows up in every Nostr app that plays video.

Open by design

Nothing here
belongs to us.

Your identity, your videos and your money stay with you. LilBit is a window onto public relays and the Lightning Network, not a place that holds anything.

  1. 01
    Your key, your videos.

    Posts are signed Nostr events. They stay yours in Primal, Damus and every other client, whether or not LilBit is on your phone.

  2. 02
    Your wallet, on your phone.

    A self-custodial Lightning wallet built on Breez SDK Spark. The keys never leave the device.

  3. 03
    Your relays, your choice.

    Pick which public relays the feed reads from. Change them any time.

  4. 04
    Open source.

    The app is on GitHub for anyone to read, build and fork.

Questions

Asked often.

Is it free?

Yes. Watching is free and needs no account. Giving sats is optional, and you set the rate.

Do I need bitcoin to use it?

No. Watch and make videos without any. If you want to give, top up the in-app wallet with a Lightning payment from any wallet or exchange.

Where do the sats go?

Straight to the creator's Lightning address, as a zap they and everyone on Nostr can see. Payments travel from your wallet to theirs over the Lightning Network.

What's Nostr?

An open protocol for social apps. Your identity is a key pair you hold, posts are signed messages on public relays, and any app can read them. The network has no owner.

Can I get paid for my videos?

Yes. Add a Lightning address to your profile and viewers' support sats arrive there, in LilBit or any other Nostr app that shows zaps.
