Purpose Built Bitcoin Accounting
Private AI meets Bitcoin accounting.
@npub10hpc...dxkr + opencode Clams CLI.
Ask questions about your books without exposing your data.
Maple AI encrypts your data before it leaves your device and processes it in secure hardware that even they can't see into. No training on your data, no third-party sharing.
Opencode connects to Maple and talks to Clams CLI. Your books stay private.
We tried all the models on Maple and Kimi K2.5 was our favorite. It is fast and makes few errors, especially when paired with the Clams agent skills -
We'll put a setup guide together for anyone interested. In the meantime, you can download Maple and opencode using these links:

OpenCode | The open source AI coding agent
OpenCode - The open source coding agent.
Complex bitcoin accounting workflows are easier when your agent knows Clams.
What you're watching is Claude Code using Clams CLI. The agent finds transactions nested among onchain and Lightning node journal entries. It connects wallets, imports CSVs, and generates branded reports. All from natural language prompts.
We've been building agent skills to improve how AI agents work with Clams. Every command, every workflow, every edge case.

Clams v1.0.0-beta.8 is out.
@npub1xker...d0en is now a first-class connection. Import your Account Activity CSV directly.
New: manual cost basis overrides. Sometimes your imported data doesn't reflect the real cost basis. Incomplete purchase records, missing wallets. Now you can set it directly and see it reflected in your capital gains reports.
Our Custom connection feature has been improved to make it more flexible. Better support for exchanges with unusual CSV layouts. More edge cases covered, fewer workarounds. More details in the release notes.
Also in this release: better CLI error messages, offline auth validation, smarter on-chain transfer matching for custodial imports, and unique workspace label enforcement.
Full release notes:
Cheers,
Clams Team

River CSV Import & Cost Basis Overrides | v1.0.0-beta.8

Wallet to report in under a minute. Here's a quick look at the Clams CLI.
Connect a wallet, sync transactions, generate journal entries, and print reports. All from your terminal.
Lightning volume crossed an estimated $1B/month in 2025 (see latest @npub1xker...d0en report). More exchanges and mining pools are running nodes.
We put together some thoughts on why Lightning accounting is its own discipline.

We've had a few people reach out asking how to import transactions from wallets and exchanges that Clams doesn't natively support.
Clams has a "Custom" connection type built exactly for this. You can import any CSV and map the columns to match what Clams expects.
The easiest path: use an LLM to help you create a reusable mapping so future imports are one click.
We put together a step-by-step guide to walk you through it:
As always, keep the feedback coming,
Cheers.
