For most, using Bitcoin means relying on someone else's node. You ask a company for your balance. You ask them to relay your transaction.

Running your own node ends this. It's how you use Bitcoin without intermediaries.

We designed the new app with a single goal: to make running a node feel as intuitive as possible.

For example, we completely re-thought the dashboard.

Instead of just data, it's designed to give you a calm, clear view of your node's place in the network. You can see blocks arriving, peers connecting, transactions relaying, and your connection to it all, at a glance. It's clarity, not complexity.

Our goal was to build an experience so fluid and so intuitive, you'll forget you're running one of the most powerful pieces of software in the world.

The update is available now in the Umbrel App Store. We hope you like it. 🧡
