The fee for opening channels will be super high on anything right now, so if you want to go non custodial you'll need to pay the fee to set up a channel.
Try looking at Mutiny wallet. It's a web app so it'll work on both phones and pc.

Thank you.
What’s the website for Phoenix wallet?

Mutiny is asking for 40k right now 😳
Oh, looks like it’s only on phone….
Mutiny is a web app, it'll open anywhere.
But 40k setup fee is high.
Phoenix is in the app store. It's made and ran by Acinq and uses splicing for channel management.
Funding tx costs around 15k
Breez is also non custodial.
Don't know their current fees though.
But if you want an option for PC with low fees and don't mind if it's custodial, Alby is good. But they are struggling with all the traffic they are getting today as well.
Same story there, having to open a channel if you don’t have one and fees are crazy high right now because shitcoiners are stamping their jpegs into the timechain like crazy again.
Yeah, I just forked out 15k to enlarge my channel with Phoenix because my node is still down. 🥲 (Synching a new one)
