Amethyst is an open-source Nostr client for Android, with recent desktop builds for macOS and Windows, for participating in the decentralized Nostr social network. It lets users post, follow feeds, send private messages, and zap (tip) other users while controlling their own identity and relays.
Use cases
- nostr client for android
- decentralized social media app
- post and read notes on nostr
- send zaps to nostr users
- private messaging over nostr
- self-custodied social network app
When to choose
- you want a full-featured, actively maintained Nostr client on Android
- you value open source (MIT) and self-controlled identity on a decentralized protocol
- you want zaps, private messages, and multiple account support in one app
When to avoid
- you need an iOS client - Amethyst targets Android and desktop
- you want a mainstream centralized social network like Twitter/X or Mastodon's ActivityPub
- you need a Nostr library or SDK rather than a ready-to-use app (though the Quartz library exists separately)
