# Wrystr
|
|
|
|
A cross-platform desktop Nostr client built with Tauri 2.0 + React + TypeScript. Polished UI, deep Lightning integration, and first-class support for long-form writing.
|
|
|
|
> Named as a nod to Nostr with a wry twist.
|

## Features
|
|
|
|
**Identity & accounts**
|
|
- In-app key generation with plain-language nsec backup — no browser extension required
|
|
- **Create new account** from the account switcher — no need to restart or go through onboarding again
|
|
- Login with nsec (full access) or npub (read-only)
|
|
- **Multi-account switcher** — save multiple identities, switch instantly from the sidebar
|
|
- **OS keychain integration** — nsec stored in macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager / Linux Secret Service; sessions survive restarts
|
|
|
|
**Feed & content**
|
|
- Global and following feeds with live relay connection
|
|
- Compose notes, inline replies, full thread view
|
|
- **Image paste in compose** — paste an image from clipboard → auto-uploads and inserts the URL
|
|
- **Feed reply context** — replies show "↩ replying to @name"; click to jump to the parent thread
|
|
- Reactions (NIP-25) with live network counts
|
|
- Follow / unfollow (NIP-02) with contact list publishing
|
|
- **Quote & Repost** (NIP-18) — one-click repost or quote with compose modal
|
|
- **Mute users** (NIP-51) — muted list synced to relays, filtered from feed
|
|
- Long-form article editor + reader (NIP-23) — write with title, tags, cover image, auto-save; click any `nostr:naddr1…` link to open in the in-app reader
|
|
- **Quoted note inline preview** — `nostr:note1…` / `nostr:nevent1…` renders as an inline card
|
|
- Note rendering: images, video, mentions, hashtags, njump.me link interception
|
|
- **Direct Messages** (NIP-04) — conversation list, thread view, per-message decryption; unread badge in sidebar
|
|
- **Notifications** — mentions view (🔔 in sidebar) with unread badge; clears on open
|
|
|
|
**Relay & network**
|
|
- Relay management: add/remove relays with live connection status
|
|
- **NIP-65 outbox model** — reads user relay lists (kind 10002) so you see notes from people who publish to their own relays; publish your own relay list to Nostr from Settings
|
|
|
|
**Lightning & zaps**
|
|
- **Per-account NWC wallet** — each account remembers its own Lightning wallet; switching accounts loads the correct one automatically
|
|
- **NWC guided wizard** — wallet picker (Alby Hub, Alby Extension, Mutiny, Phoenix) with per-wallet setup steps and inline URI validation
|
|
- Send zaps via NWC (NIP-47 + NIP-57) with amount presets, custom amounts, comment
|
|
- Zap counts on notes (⚡ N sats inline)
|
|
- **Zap history** — Received and Sent tabs with amounts, counterparts, comments
|
|
- **Support / About page** — zap the developer, Lightning + Bitcoin QR codes, Ko-fi and GitHub links
|
|
|
|
**Performance & UX**
|
|
- **Auto-updater** — "Update & restart" banner when a new version is available
|
|
- **SQLite note cache** — feed loads instantly from local cache on startup; profiles cached for immediate avatar display
|
|
- **System tray** — close button hides to tray; "Quit" in tray menu to fully exit
|
|
- Collapsible sidebar (icon-only mode)
|
|
- **Keyboard shortcuts** — `n` compose, `/` search, `j`/`k` navigate feed, `Esc` back, `?` help overlay
|
|
- Search: NIP-50 full-text, `#hashtag`, people search with inline follow
|
|
