One gem in your bar, three modules you turn on as you need them:
🔐 Signer: a NIP-46 bunker on your desktop. Your nsec stays in the system keyring, encrypted with your passphrase. Log in to any Nostr app with a bunker:// link or a nostrconnect:// QR, and approve what each app can sign, Amber-style.
🔔 Notifications: replies, mentions, zaps, reactions and DMs as desktop popups and an inbox, respecting your mute list. No key? Add any npub or NIP-05 as a read-only profile.
🎵 Status: NIP-38 now playing from Spotify, YouTube Music, etc., your browser or any player, plus automatic statuses for meetings, away and focus. Optional scrobbles.
Install:
