damus

A twitter-like nostr client for iPhone, iPad and MacOS.

<img src="./ss.png" width="50%" height="50%" />

How is Damus better than twitter?

There are no toxic algorithms.
You can send or receive zaps (satoshis) without asking for permission.
There is no central database. Therefore, Damus is censorship resistant.
There are no ads.
You don't have to reveal sensitive personal information to sign up.
No email is required.
No phone number is required.
Damus is free and open source software.
There is no Big Tech moat. Therefore, seamless interoperability with thousands or millions of other nostr apps is possible, and is how Damus and nostr win.

If there are no ads, how is Damus funded?

Damus offers a paid subscription 🟣 purple 🟣 https://damus.io/purple/.
Initial benefits include a unique subscriber number, subscriber badge, and auto-translate powered by DeepL.

Damus has also graciously received donations or grants from hundreds of Damus users, Opensats, and the Human Rights Foundation.

Mailing lists

We have a few mailing lists that anyone can join to get involved in damus development:

Contributing

See docs/CONTRIBUTING.md

Privacy

Your internet protocol (IP) address is exposed to the relays you connect to, and third party media hosters (e.g. nostr.build, imgur.com, giphy.com, youtube.com etc.) that render on Damus. If you want to improve your privacy, consider utilizing a service that masks your IP address (e.g. a VPN) from trackers online.

The relay also learns which public keys you are requesting, meaning your public key will be tied to your IP address.

It is public information which other profiles (npubs) you are exchanging DMs with. The content of the DMs is encrypted.

Translations

Translators welcome! Join the Transifex project.

All user-facing strings must have a comment in order to provide context to translators. If a SwiftUI component has a comment parameter, use that. Otherwise, wrap your string with NSLocalizedString with the comment field populated.

Awards

Damus lead dev and founder Will awards developers with satoshis! There may be nostr badges awarded for contributors in the future... :)
