The leading Android Nostr client
Amethyst is a Android, Desktop app in the social category of the Nostr ecosystem. Amethyst is the most popular Android Nostr client, built in Kotlin. It offers zaps, DMs, extensive NIP support, a custom feed algorithm, and dozens of customization options. It is fully open source, so the code can be audited and self-hosted. It supports Lightning zaps, letting you tip creators and peers directly in sats. It supports Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC), so it can pay from your own Lightning wallet. It includes end-to-end encrypted direct messages. It supports NIP-29 group chat. It supports long-form (NIP-23) content publishing and reading. As a Nostr-native application, Amethyst ties to a public key only you control and communicates over open relays, so there is no corporate account to lose access to.
