The original iOS/macOS Nostr client
Damus is a iOS, macOS app in the social category of the Nostr ecosystem. Damus is the classic Nostr client for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It pioneered the 'tiny spark' ethos, offering a clean native experience with zaps, DMs, and full NIP support on Apple platforms. 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. As a Nostr-native application, Damus ties to a public key only you control and communicates over open relays, so there is no corporate account to lose access to.
