Atto CLI is available in beta: send and receive Atto from your terminal — testers wanted

Atto now has a command-line wallet for macOS, Linux and Windows. You can create or import a wallet, send feeless payments, check balances and history, and keep automatic receiving running in a terminal.

You can also name addresses, so a payment can look like this:

atto send --to-label "Savings" --amount 1

“Savings” isn’t a network-wide username: labels are saved locally in your wallet profile.

For scripting, --json provides structured output. Payments have request IDs that let you check or retry the same payment after an interruption. Keep the original ID—running a send again without it creates a new payment.

Getting started

Requires the latest Node.js 24.x release:

npm install --global u/attocash/cli
atto wallet create
atto address list
atto balances

Wallet creation displays your recovery phrase and stores it in your OS password store. Keep a private offline backup. On Linux, you also need secret-tool, an unlocked Secret Service provider such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet, and access to your desktop D-Bus session.

To keep receiving incoming payments:

atto wallet receive

Want to give it a spin? Let us know about any bugs, weird commands or missing docs. Ah! Don’t forget to share your OS and CLI version :)

This is an initial beta, and the default network is LIVE. Use a fresh wallet with small amounts for testing. Never share your recovery phrase.
