About Amber
What is Amber?
Amber is a Bitcoin-focused app suite by AmberApp and AmberWallet. AmberApp helps Australians buy Bitcoin on a recurring schedule (Dollar Cost Averaging), with free automatic withdrawals to a secure Vault when you withdraw over 210,000 sats. AmberWallet is a global Lightning wallet available in 160+ jurisdictions, offering instant on-chain and Lightning transfers with optional privacy (light KYC or anonymous).
Who is it for?
Amber is designed for Australian individuals who want to build long-term Bitcoin savings through automated purchases. It is also for global users who need a simple, beautiful Lightning wallet. It is not for traders looking for altcoin support, frequent small withdrawals (fees apply below 210,000 sats), or users wanting traditional multi-currency banking.
Real use cases
Set up a weekly $50 Bitcoin buy in AmberApp, enable automatic Vault withdrawal, and let the app handle accumulation without manual effort. Use AmberWallet to send Bitcoin instantly via Lightning for low-fee payments or to receive Bitcoin at a consistent address.
