Two Nostr signers at the same time?


Nostr System Signer (NSS) 0.1.0-beta.1 is out for testing.

<br />

It's a NIP-46 bunker/signer for Linux.

<br />

It supports passphrase, USB and phone passkey vault protection, encrypted identity backups, and an optional Omarchy bar plugin.

<br />

This first beta targets x86_64 Arch Linux with a supported Hyprland desktop, tested on Omarchy. It’s experimental and hasn’t had an independent security audit. Please use disposable identities.

Introducing Opal 💎 Nostr, built into your Omarchy desktop.

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:
omarchy plugin add https://github.com/derekross/opal.git --enable
~/.config/omarchy/plugins/derekross.opal/dist/install.sh

No Rust needed: every release ships prebuilt, verified binaries.
