Use a signing app, then only one app will have access to your private key.
Android only. Supports most Android apps & bunker connections.

Cross platform, supports bunker connections.
I will look into these, thanks for the pointer!
The problem now is trusting the signing app :(
Is there an official Nostr governing body that can set standards and guidelines here or is it early enough that the community is doing so from the ground up? It seems like the latter, but Iām still a Nostr n00b.
Nostr has no governing body. Community driven development.
Of the 3 apps Amber is the most mature, and is made by nostr:nprofile1qqs827g8dkd07zjvlhh60csytujgd3l9mz7x807xk3fewge7rwlukxgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz772u5wm

Thank you so much for all of the info! Truly appreciated.
Self custody of private keys is still a young and fast evolving space within Nostr.
My biggest advice when shopping for an app is : keep it simple (it should only do key management and nothing else) and make sure that people you trust can trust or recommend it.
