#9 1. Amber - v6.2.3 Amber is an Android Nostr event signer used to securely sign requests from other Nostr apps without exposing private keys directly. In this release, it adds a configurable profile fetch interval (including a “never” option), improves account switching with profile pictures and scoped subscriptions per account, strengthens bunker permission parsing, reduces main-thread StrictMode violations by moving key and account operations off-thread, trims locale support, and fixes several UI and localization issues including theme contrast, translation errors, and settings text formatting.

This was the latest, and there was also the release of v2.0.0 last week. Contributed by: Source: https://github.com/nostrord/nostrord/releases/tag/v2.0.1 3. Mostro Mobile Client - v1.3.0 Mostro Mobile Client is a mobile app for the Mostro P2P Bitcoin trading platform, enabling users to trade Bitcoin over Nostr-based transport with non-custodial workflows. In v1.3.0, the release completes transport v2 migration with protocol auto-detection and dual-send/dual-receive support for NIP-44 direct messages, upgrades to Riverpod 3.x, improves node connectivity handling, expands fiat payment methods across multiple African currencies, and enhances bond-slashed handling with clearer dispute vs timeout classification.

NoorNote - v1.2.2 NoorNote is a Nostr social client for browsing posts, interacting with notes, and managing social graphs with privacy-focused features. In this release, it improves security by blocking relay connections to local/private network addresses from imported relay lists, adds a “Has muted you” profile indicator, and enhances reply threads with visual follower/mute indicators using colored avatar rings. While this was the latest, there were also the releases of v1.2.1 and v1.2.0 last week. Contributed by: Source: https://github.com/77elements/noornote/releases/tag/v1.2.2 #tools_nostr_recap

#1 “Finally I made the leap to be Nostr exclusive and it feels like a breath of fresh air. X stays up for announcements only. This is the right move. The community here is real, the conversations are better, and most importantly I own my identity and my data. No platform standing between me and the people I want to reach. Now back to building. #NostrOnly” #quote_nostr_recap
