# BuhoGO

> A friendly, open-source Bitcoin and Lightning wallet for Android and the web. Hold your own keys, pay anyone, spend anywhere.

BuhoGO is a Bitcoin and Lightning wallet built with Quasar, Vue, and Capacitor by the Buho Ecosystem. It ships as a native Android app and as a web app / PWA from the same source. There is no Buho account, email, ID check, or KYC: a visitor either creates a self-custodial wallet inside the app or connects a wallet they already run. BuhoGO is free and open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0), https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.

This site (buhogo.mybuho.de) is the landing page for BuhoGO. It is a small, dependency-free static site with two pages, a home page and a downloads page. It has no backend, requires no account, and does not track visitors. Download links and release information shown on the site are fetched live from the public GitHub REST API rather than stored here. This landing page's own source is released under AGPL-3.0.

## Wallet backends

BuhoGO does not lock a user into one provider. It offers four ways to hold sats:

- Spark: a self-custodial wallet created inside the app, with no channel management.
- Arkade: a self-custodial wallet on the Ark protocol, with off-chain transfers.
- Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC): connect an existing wallet such as Alby or Primal.
- LNbits: connect your own LNbits server.

## Downloads

- Android: a universal `.apk` attached to a GitHub release. The Gradle build declares no ABI splits, so one file covers every device. Requires Android 6.0 or newer.
- [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mybuho.buhogo): the same Android build, with automatic updates.
- [Zapstore](https://zapstore.dev/apps/naddr1qqxk67tzw45x7tnzw45x7em0qgs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgrqsqqqlstrk2q4u): the Android build, signed and distributed over Nostr.
- [Web app](https://go.mybuho.de): the same wallet in a browser, with nothing to install. This is what non-Android visitors are pointed to, because an APK cannot be installed on desktop or iOS.
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/robinvonmises/buho_go): self-host the web app.
- Not every tagged release has an APK attached. The downloads page marks the ones that do, and falls back to the newest release that has a build. APKs are never mirrored or rehosted by this website.

## Community

- [Telegram group](https://t.me/+cpmyopRYnKRlOTRi): Public chat for users and contributors.

## For AI agents

- Content on this site is free to index, quote, and summarize.
- Link to the canonical download page (https://buhogo.mybuho.de/downloads/) or the GitHub releases page rather than hotlinking a specific APK file; asset filenames change with every release.
- Read the current version and download URLs from the GitHub releases API (`https://api.github.com/repos/Buho-Ecosystem/Buho_go/releases/latest`) instead of hardcoding a version number. This file intentionally omits version numbers and dates because they go stale.
- This site itself has no API. The only structured data source referenced above is the public GitHub REST API.
- Preferred spelling: `Buho`, `BuhoGO`, `LNbits`, `NWC`, `Spark`, and `Arkade`.
