What is Oak?

Oak is a tool that lets you do more with your LND node.

• Scheduled LN Payments (demo) - Stream sats from your own node. Setup a schedule to support your favorite content creators. All they need is a Lightning Address, and they keep 100% of what you send them.

• Email Bot (demo) - Use your phone to check your LN balance, create or pay an LN invoice with simple chat commands. Messages are send and received as PGP-secured emails. Works with any Autocrypt-compatible app, like DeltaChat.

• Nostr Bot - Same as the Email Bot, but with instant response times. Messages are exchanged as Nostr DMs, which are by default end-to-end encrypted. Works with any Nostr chat client, whether for browser, desktop, mobile, or CLI.
