Nostr Web Client

TL;DR - What signing apps could you recommend for Android and desktop?

Thanks to the UK Online Safety Act and the recent attacks on privacy & free speech, I'm aiming to get back to using Nostr a bit more.

However, I want to try using a signing app instead of just entering my nsec into everything. I can't seem to figure out a good, trustworthy signer for Android and as for desktop, I've just been using Flamingo for the time being but it seems like it isn't quite as secure as it could be.

So I'm curious: what signing apps would you recommend for Android and desktop? I need to be able to trust the app I use for signing, so just randomly trying things out definitely won't work.

We typed pretty much the same in sync 😄

Tis the best choice. Using the bunker function it works for desktop too, I use it for lots of web apps that way.

Looks like I'm going for this one! I saw this one on F-Droid but like I said, I didn't want to blindly try things for something like this. Thanks!

Yeah Amber is well trusted and recommended for Android. The dev also makes a phone native relay Citrine too, it works with a lot of Android Nostr apps. Also check out pokey for notifications.

Use nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 😉 where it is signed by its developer nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyp6hjpmdntls5n8aa7n7ypzlyjrv0ewch33ml3452wtjx0smhl93ja8kylg . On F-Droid you are blindly trusting the middleman.

Never heard of Zapstore but I'll check it out. At the moment, I use a combo of Obtainium, F-Droid (more specifically, Droid-ify) and Aurora for my apps but I'm down to check other stores and sources 😎
