monostr

Nostr client with Monero tips. No Lightning, no custodian, no wallet inside.
New in version 0.25.5

• After a refresh the newest notes are in view at the top
• Likes and reposts in the notifications show up to 7 faces in one line
monostr is a Nostr client for Android with tips in Monero.

Nostr, the way you know it
• Feed of the people you follow, threads, profiles with Posts and Replies tabs
• Like, repost, quote, reply; mentions, hashtags and links you can tap
• Pictures in notes and your own uploads (Blossom), sensitive content blurred
• Private messages (NIP-17), private bookmarks and mutes (NIP-51)
• Search for people and notes (NIP-50), notifications for likes, reposts, replies and tips
• Your relay list (NIP-65); write relays of an author are added while their profile is open
• Sign in with Amber (NIP-55) or a key; light and dark theme, 8 languages

Tips in Monero
• Tip a note or a profile from your own wallet app (Unstoppable, monfluo, Cake …) through a monero: link
• monostr holds no wallet and no spend key
• To receive tips you register your address and private view key with a watcher (watcher.monostr.com by default, or your own). The watcher sees your incoming payments and publishes signed tip receipts on Nostr, so everybody sees the tip on the note
• Anonymous tips are possible

Open
monostr is free software (AGPL-3.0-or-later). Notes, likes and reposts say “via monostr” (off by default, can be switched on).

monostr is in beta.

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
