Lokihub App Store

The Lokihub App Store is a community-maintained directory of applications that work with your Lightning node through NWC (Nostr WalletConnect).

How Apps Connect​

Apps listed in the store connect to your Lokihub node using NWC. This means:

  1. No Installation — Apps don't install on Lokihub itself
  2. Permission-Based — You grant specific permissions (read balance, send up to X amount, etc.)
  3. Revocable — Remove app access anytime

Using Apps from the Store​

  1. Browse available apps in Lokihub
  2. Click an app to view details
  3. Click "Connect"
  4. Review and grant permissions
  5. Scan the QR code or copy the connection string into the app

App Categories​

The store organizes apps into categories:

  • Wallet Interfaces — Alternative wallet UIs
  • Social Media — Nostr clients, tipping platforms
  • Merchant Tools — Point-of-sale, invoicing
  • Payment Tools — Budgeting, accounting
  • Shopping — E-commerce integrations
  • Nostr Tools — Nostr-specific utilities
  • Games — Lightning-enabled games
  • AI — AI services with Lightning payments
  • Music — Streaming, tipping artists
  • Blogging — Content platforms
  • Misc — Other applications

The App Store is open-source and community-driven. Anyone can submit an app.
