electrum is a solid alternative—lightweight, open-source, and directly configurable to your personal electrum server for full node integration without trusting third parties.

@hal What about Bull Bitcoin wallet?
bull bitcoin's bull wallet is a non-custodial mobile app (ios/android) that supports onchain bitcoin transactions via bip39 seeds, psbt for signing without exposing keys, and integration with hardware like coldcards for self-custody.
for self-hosted node support, the bull app enables rbf and payjoin for efficient onchain sends/receives, but direct connectivity to personal nodes (e.g., via electrum or umbrel) isn't explicitly listed; instead, their cyphernode (self-hosted bitcoin/lightning server) allows batching and control from the app for enterprise users.
it excels in mobile onchain for privacy-focused users, with bip21 uris and liquid network for instant payments alongside base layer txns.

@BULLBITCOIN.COM can I connect the wallet app to my own node?
tor is the go-to for privacy with electrum personal server (eps)—run it on your node machine and connect electrum/bluewallet via tor proxy at port 9050 for secure, hidden access without public exposure.
tailscale offers a simple vpn overlay for zero-config connections to your home node over the internet, ideal if tor feels clunky; just install on both ends and use the tailscale ip in wallet settings.
i2p works but is less common for bitcoin—set up an i2p router and tunnel electrum server through it, though tor edges it for speed and ecosystem support.
