LNbits for macOS

Requires macOS 15 or later. Use the arm64 download for Apple Silicon
(M-series) Macs and the x86_64 download for Intel Macs.

Installation
Drag LNbits.app to Applications, eject this disk image, and open LNbits
from Applications. Choose your settings, click Launch LNbits, then
Open in browser. Python and Node.js do not need to be installed.

This release is Apple Developer ID signed and notarized. Both the app and
the disk image carry stapled Apple notarization tickets. Open the app normally;
no Gatekeeper bypass is needed. If macOS rejects it, verify the download checksum
and contact the release maintainer.

Data and updates
Wallets, settings, extensions and logs are stored separately from the app,
by default in ~/Library/Application Support/LNbits. The launcher lets you
choose another data folder. Keep that folder backed up.

Bundled funding
Choose Spark L2, Phoenixd or Neither in the launcher. You can switch providers
using the same LNbits data folder. Switching back reuses the provider's saved
wallet. The app starts the selected daemon and configures LNbits automatically. The funding seed persists in
funding/spark/seed.dat (24 words) or funding/phoenixd/seed.dat (12 words).
Back up the entire data folder and keep a private offline seed backup.
Never run another Phoenix instance with the same seed. Phoenixd first setup
asks you to acknowledge its automatic liquidity fees and fee-credit terms.
Closing the launcher stops both LNbits and its funding daemon.

To update, stop LNbits and quit the app before replacing it in Applications.
Replacing or removing the app does not remove your data folder.
Keep the launcher open while using LNbits. Stop LNbits or quit the launcher
to shut down its server.

Terminal usage
/Applications/LNbits.app/Contents/MacOS/LNbits --headless --port 5001
/Applications/LNbits.app/Contents/MacOS/LNbits --gui

Logs are in the selected data folder under logs/desktop.log.
Custom SSL_CERT_FILE or SSL_CERT_DIR environment settings are respected.
