Spark Lightning Wallet is a free, open-source graphical interface designed for managing Bitcoin Lightning Network payments through a Core Lightning node. It provides a lightweight environment for sending and receiving payments without directly handling on-chain transactions. Users can inspect payment histories, monitor balances, and manage Lightning channels. The software connects to an independently operated node rather than functioning as a standalone wallet. It offers customizable themes and an interface adapted to smartphones, tablets, and computers. Secure remote access is supported through TLS, Let's Encrypt certificates, and Tor onion services. Spark is available through web browsers, desktop applications, Android, and progressive web app installations. It targets technically experienced users operating their own Lightning infrastructure.
