LNbits
Free, open-source Lightning accounts system — split one node into wallets and extend it with extensions (paylinks, POS, faucets).
LNbits is a free, open-source accounts system that sits on top of a Lightning node and splits it into many wallets, each with its own keys and API. A rich set of extensions turns it into paylinks, point-of-sale, faucets, subscriptions and more — a Swiss-army toolkit for anyone building on Lightning.
It is aimed at tinkerers, small merchants and developers who already have (or can run) a node and want to carve it up safely. Because it is self-hosted and modular, it rewards a bit of technical comfort; in return you get building blocks that would otherwise be separate products.
