+### Mobile, Web, and Lightweight Clients
+
+The clients below are ideal if you are using Monero for the first time. They are also useful if you are on a device that cannot run a [full Monero node](/getting-started/running).

+MyMonero is an easy-to-use Monero client that you can use on most desktop and mobile devices without installing anything.  
+It can be used with some measure of safety, as MyMonero are unable to spend your funds on your behalf.  
+It is owned and operated by Riccardo Spagni, one of the Monero Core Team members.](https://mymonero.com)

+
+### Full Monero Client
+
+If you are able to spare the bandwidth and disk space required to run a full node, doing so helps keep the network stable and robust, and also affords you the maximum privacy Monero has to offer.

+You can read our guide on [running a Monero node](/getting-started/running), and the Monero core software can be downloaded from the [downloads page](/downloads).
+

+
+### Unofficial Clients
+
+There are also a handful of unofficial clients that interact with the official Monero core daemon, and are able to provide their own additional functionality.
