awesome-nostr

"nostr" stands for "Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays" and is an open protocol for censorship-resistant global networks created by @fiatjaf.

Protocol

Relays

Relays are (so far) application agnostic. You can run your own or use any or all of the public instances.

Implementations

  • NNostr - a C# relay
  • nostr-rs-relay - a minimalistic relay written in Rust that saves data on SQLite
  • Relayer Basic - a simple relay based on relayer backed by Postgres
  • nodestr - a Node.js implementation
  • expensive relay - a relay that requires payment for registration
  • me.untethr.nostr-relay - a relay written in Clojure
  • Minds Nostr Relay - a relay for Minds, an open-source social network
  • NostrPostr Relay - a Kotlin Relay supporting both SQLite and Postgresql
  • nostrypy - relay, client, and other tooling in python
  • nostream - a nostr relay written in Typescript backed by PostgreSQL (renamed from nostr-ts-relay)
  • nostr_relay – a nostr relay written in python, backed by SQLite
  • søstr – a private nostr relay written in rust, saves all notes from one pubkey and publish them to anyone that requests them

Instances

Instances are plenty and their availability may vary but these projects track them:

  • nostr relay registry - real-time checking of status of some known relays
  • nostr.info - real-time checking of status of some known relays
  • nostr.watch - real-time checking of status of some known relays with advanced checks.

Clients

  • branle - a Twitter-like client with chat. Some instances:
  • astral - a branle fork with global feed and UI makeover
  • damus - a twitter-like nostr client for iOS and MacOS
  • more-speech - desktop client for nostr written in Clojure
  • futr - nostr client desktop app written in Haskell
  • nvote, Nvote is a decentralized, vote-driven community similar to services like Reddit and HackerNews. Nvote is powered by nostr
  • Minds - open source social network. Supports reading and creating posts using the Nostr protocol
  • alphaama - playground by Tiago Balas
  • Jester - Chess over nostr
  • Sendstr - shared clipboard between devices over nostr
  • noscl - a basic command-line client written in Go
  • loquaz - a desktop app written in Rust for direct encrypted chat
  • nostr console - a nostr command line client written in Dart. Binaries available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS
  • anigma - A clone of telegram built on nostr
  • ArcadeCity - Public group chats and P2P services (WIP) over nostr
  • second exchange - an experiment to work out something of like medium, something of creator economy where users are rewarded for engaging in quality discussion and most importantly engaging in governance-related discussion
  • scalastr - A barebones nostr client written in scala
  • Nostros - A nostr mobile client for Android
  • NostrEmitter- Simple E2E encrypted client and EventEmitter object
  • Lightning.Pub- A nostr daemon for Lightning nodes
  • shockwallet- A Lightning wallet that uses nostr and lnurl to connect to nodes
  • coracle - A nostr web client
  • nostrweb - another nostr web client in vanilla JS
  • Bija - A desktop client written in python. Currently Linux only
  • Nosky - A native Android client for Nostr. Still in development
  • Stackerstan - A decentralised organisation built on Bitcoin and Nostr, implemented as a replicated state machine in Golang
  • nostr-java - A nostr client API written in java, for generating, signing and publishing events to relays
  • bolt.fun - A bitcoin lightning makers community that supports reading and creating comments using Nostr
  • iris - A nostr web client
  • gossip - A desktop client in rust presented with egui
  • Attached - Open-Source ReactNative Expo app for Nostr (iOS, Android). Currently under app stores review.
