CLUSTER NOSTR-SECURELY-ANDROID · 5 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-06-28

Nostr Android signer apps

This cluster consists of Android apps focused on secure Nostr event signing and key management, using approaches such as hardware signer proxying, FROST threshold signatures, and the NIP-46 protocol. The dated history before the index start is too thin to read a shape from, with only three dated entries. Among the three members, nostr-signer shows the highest activity signal, followed by Amber and Citrine, though all currently show zero stars.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 5 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
