Alby Go is lightweight, easy to use, and always with you. Here’s how to get started and make the most of your experience.
Alby Go connects to your lightning-enabled node or wallet using an NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect) secret. You can link one or more wallets to switch between easily.
Open Settings → Wallets → Connect a Wallet
Scan a QR code or paste an NWC Connection Secret
(e.g. nostr+walletconnect://...)
Give your connection a custom name
Once connected, your wallet is ready for sending and receiving bitcoin lightning payments through Alby Go.
✅ Tip: You can connect multiple wallets and switch between them anytime.

To receive sats with Alby Go:
Tap the big yellow RECEIVE button.
Choose one of the following:
