Clams Desktop proved the demand for Bitcoin-native, local-first and private accounting software. Lightning node operators, individuals living on Bitcoin, small businesses all needed this. But we heard you. A desktop-only solution has limits.

We're rebuilding our core logic in Rust and packaging it as Clams Server. This is the accounting engine that will power everything. The result: massive performance gains for nodes with millions of transactions, memory safety, and a foundation we can scale to enterprise.

Clams server will power multiple interfaces. Coming in 2026: - Desktop app (rebuilt, faster, still free) - CLI for automation - REST API for integrations - MCP Server for conversational AI Work however you want. Command line, existing tools, or natural language.

The MCP server is what we're most excited about. Connect Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or local AI models to your Bitcoin books. Ask "What was our routing revenue last quarter?" and get instant answers. Privacy-conscious? Run it locally with a local LLM.

We're building based on your feedback: ✓ Bring your own node (Bitcoin + Electrum/Esplora) ✓ Direct chat support built-in ✓ Role-based access controls ✓ Multi-currency support (starting with Euro)

Flexible deployment options we're working toward: - Desktop: Free for individuals/small biz, enterprise license available - Self-hosted: Commercial license, you control everything - Hosted: We run the infrastructure, you run your business

For accounting firms: Imagine your own dedicated Clams instance. Manage all clients in one dashboard. Granular permissions. Clients connect wallets, you generate reports and tax strategies. This is the workflow Bitcoin businesses need.

Clams CLI will launch first in early 2026, with REST API and hosted solution rolling out to beta testers shortly after. We're building the accounting infrastructure Bitcoin needs. Learn more about the full vision here -

Clams: Building the Bitcoin Accounting Layer

A year of building, listening and learning. From desktop app to Bitcoin accounting infrastructure.

We’ve been busy and still a lot to do, but we are making great progress. Looking forward to getting these releases out. View quoted note →

Hi Clams. I don't know you and only recently downloaded your software, so can't vouch completely for your product, your character, etc, but what I've seen so far looks promising. So thanks for building! However I do know @Keith | BRANTA.PRO and can vouch for him and @Branta It feels like there may be some good synergy between the two companies as you both are targeting similar customers. Dunno. Just a hunch. But maybe there's something between you where 2 + 2 > 4? PS @Clams I'm having issues with the nwc import and timing out...not a biggie but letting you know of possible bug. Take care! PSS thank you for using our nostr logo from our nostr github icons!

Hey! Thanks for trying out the app. I have heard someone mention the NWC timeout bug before- but I wasn’t able to replicate. I’ll take another look. And yeah we know @Keith | BRANTA.PRO and are overdue a catch up with him! Thanks again for checking out the app. If you have any more issues- feel free to email us at support@clams.tech Thanks

Been way too long, release looks good we'll have to test it out
