How many Nostr apps are currently installed in your phone?


I got 12


7.
But I only use 3.
Time for some house cleaning.


I had 3. Now 1. Yours.


Not enough


No apps are installed, i’m running nostrudel as pwa on ios. 😅


Amethyst
Amber
Citrine
Pokey

Fountain
Wavlake


No 5:
Damus
Nostur
Nostore
0xchat
Wavlake


Just one (Amethyst). I had Primal installed at one point since I was having an issue with filtered words I couldn't seem to delete, but that issue resolved itself so Amethyst is all I need right now. I'm not just saying that, either. It has all the features I want or need. https://image.nostr.build/b56cebd17446dcf7dda11474a035038ee310386c789360bac02e03f96ec6301b.jpg


Only 2


you should install Amber asap (and use fdroid or some other non-google app app to get it)


6 apps. 7 if you count minibits.


First I've heard of it! What makes it special to you?


2: Amethyst, Primal


Today: only seven.


Same here✌


Just Amethyst! Works so great!


Those are some rookie numbers :)


:purple-heart:


Tengo 8


Can you list your apps? Probably there is something interesting for all of us.


Amber, Citrine, Pokey, Amethyst, 0xchat, Fountain, SatsPrice, Zap.store, FreeForm, Voyage, Minibits, Nostros


frdoid is an alternative to google play that only provides open source apps

amber is an "isolated signer" which keeps your key and all it does is accept requests to sign things and has a set of permissions controls about what things it will automatically sign, or it pops up and asks you to consent

amber helps you protect your keys from being compromised by a bug in amethyst or other apps... and it also makes it safer to experiment with new apps that do other things, like "pokey", which vitor is always talking about lately, a nostr app that specialises in notifying you of events that you might be interested, like DMs or replies or reactions


Just amethyst or damus.

(Unless You count things like wallets and obtainium.)


10, plus one PWA and three web app shortcuts. Amethyst is among the installed native apps.


Amethyst and Amber. I cant stand clutter 😬 anything else I'll use the browser


A few https://image.nostr.build/2df483455d17299ebb92e2be0cbe1998404ac4a6240176448ad1d4c4a2765ac5.jpg https://image.nostr.build/9f30e75fa4f23e8db01da24a98132d13a0eae189c27a10a62a4b934a46e87053.jpg


how is satsprice a "nostr app"?


Yes, I use Obtainium and F-Droid (via the Droid-ify fork) for most of my apps, fantastic software! 🫡

As for Amber, is a bug that exposes my nsec a significant threat? Also, how does it protect your keys? I understand the signing aspect, but couldn't a bug theoretically expose them in Amber as well?


You are right it might not be... For now...


2. I don't like Nostr apps. They drain the battery and consume data for no reason, and often the developers of Nostr apps are inexperienced and clumsy. Moreover, there are already a billion NIPs that I've stopped keeping track of, and the compatibility between applications is just terrible. I sign events without understanding what is happening, and I don't like that. Usually, Nostr is now anti-advertising for me. If I see that an app is based on Nostr, I won't use it.


Why were you keeping track of NIPs? That doesn't make any sense for users.


At least three

Yours is my fave


For example, to understand which NIP is suitable for private messages this week.


Sure, but you don't need to know nips for that. Basically use Amethyst, 0xchat or coracle instead of damus and primal and problem solved. There is no need to track nips.


Five.


Understanding NIP is necessary to know what data you are sharing and in what order with a relay owned by who knows who.


Sure, but only if you want to know the details. Users should never, ever think about Nostr that way.


Primal, Damus, Openvibe


4. Amethyst, Amber, ZAP.store, Pokey


7
Amethyst
Citrine
Fountain
0xchat
Amber
Openvibe
Primal


This will lead to application fingerprints, if it hasn't already.


3. Amethyst, Primal, Amber.

Looking at this thread, I need to step up my game...


11. What am I missing?


Do you count home screen bookmarks on iOS?

If so I am around 7.

Nostur, Damus, Nos, Coracle, Fountain, Highlighter, nsec.app


Keep 'em stupid.


4: amber, amethyst, primal, 0xchat


0 ... But I have 7 #Nostr clients 😅


Two, Amethyst and primal.


same


## The nostr apps that actually get used on my phone: ##
1. Amber.
2. amethyst.
3. citrine.

Do we count #minibits for zaps?

### I do find myself using a few other web apps on mobile so long as they allow signing in with Amber: ###

[Habla](Habla.news) , [emojito](emojito.meme) & [badges](badges.page)

### What I think we need: ###
The only nostr experience I feel like I'm missing on mobile is [satcom](https://satcom.app/) which is probably the first **original** NOSTR app that isn't copying some existing platform.


2, Primal and Damus.


I remembered some Google employee who claimed that users don't need a URL bar.


So many private keys passing through phone clipboards.


7:

Amber, Citrine, Amethyst, Spring Browser, Pokey, Fountain, Wavlake

Zeus also sort of counts...


Forgot zap.store, so 8.5!


Amber. Just Amber for everything.


0... but no other social media apps either 🙂


9

0xchat, Amber, Amethyst, Citrine, Pokey, Primal, Voyager, Fountain, Zap Store


10 actually.

Forgot to add Coracle to the list.


How many Nostr apps are currently installed in your phone?


I’ve got 21 nostr apps currently installed on my iPhone.


Just Amethyst, though tempted to check out Citra + Voyage again at some point too. Had web apps thanks to Fennec + Nos2x, but the Fennec fork is out of date (perhaps abandoned?) so no more web apps for now 🙁


One, Amethyst. Technically two with Primal, but it doesn't like my folding phone a whole lot x) Don't think I need much more...


9 for me.

Amber, Amethyst, Citrine, Fountain, 0xChat, Pokey, Primal, Wavlake, Zapstore

If it doesn't work right or has a bad UI, I probably will stop using it. Some only last a few minutes. These work well enough for now.

That said, I use Amethyst and Fountain by far the most, because they're so good.

Just one, amethyst. I would like to have more, but I'm a targeted person and so I use Google's Advanced Protection, and this framework does not allow non-app-store apps, period.


You guys are using phones?

I would much prefer if I could say there's a bunch of "other stuff" already in use and providing value, but that's not the case yet
