LilBit talks directly to the network. The app connects to public Nostr relays and media servers you can see and change in Settings, and to Breez for Lightning payments. It has no account system and no server of its own.
What stays on your phone: your Nostr key, your wallet seed, your follow list and blocks, your settings. They live in the iOS Keychain and app storage on your device.
What is public by design: anything you publish (videos, profile, likes, follows, reports, public zaps) is a signed Nostr event on public relays. Anyone can read it, and it cannot be reliably recalled. The app says so before you post.
Payments: sats are sent over the Lightning Network on Bitcoin mainnet from the Breez SDK Spark wallet inside the app. Breez's services see payment data needed to route them; see Breez's privacy policy. Lightning addresses at lilbit.social are served by Breez.
Prices: to show amounts in your own money as well as in sats, the app asks Flash's public price feed (api.flashapp.me, run by Island Bitcoin) what a bitcoin is worth. The request carries no account and nothing about you beyond the connection itself, and the app works without it.
Analytics and tracking: the app ships without advertising or analytics SDKs.
Relays and media servers see your IP address when the app connects, as with any website. You choose which ones the app uses.
Children: LilBit is rated 17+ and is made for adults.
