Run your Lightning node
like a pro.
Open-source tools for people who run their own LND node: fees, liquidity, healthchecks, routing analysis, backups, and more... all taken care of!
Everything is open source — use it, share it, edit it.
ln-operator
A toolkit to run your channels like a full-time node operator — dynamic fees, automatic rebalancing, watching health, and backing up state — so your node earns more and breaks less.
Fee management
A sigmoid fee curve per channel, floored at your real refill cost, with market feedback nudging the band up or down as routing demand shifts.
Rebalancing
Budget-aware rebalances that read the live route price first (a QueryRoutes dry-run): land an affordable refill this run, skip the ones no route can settle, and chunk down on failure instead of giving up.
Peer selection
Ranks new peers by how much they'd extend your reachable graph, not raw centrality — and for a draining channel, names the exact peer to open toward so its refills get cheaper.
Health checks
Snapshots channel state every run and alerts on real problems — signal, not noise.
Backups
Pushes channel.backup off-site on every change, with a freshness badge on the dashboard so you know it's current.
AI agent
Expert oversight that runs daily over all your data — reads the logs and node state, flags what needs attention, and lands the fixes.
Overall system view
Everything runs on a single always-on host you control — your LND node, the Python engine, and its database all sit on the same machine on your private network. You drive it from the CLI; Claude reviews it daily; Telegram keeps you posted.
The node, engine and database never leave your machine. Only Telegram messages reach out — to your phone. Know more →
