Nostr WoT App Support

On first launch, create a new identity or import one from an nsec, a seed phrase or an encrypted backup, then set a password or a PIN to protect the vault. You can add more accounts later from the Accounts screen.

Write down your seed phrase when the app shows it and keep it somewhere safe and offline. You can also export your keys from the security settings. Your seed phrase is the only way to recover your accounts if you lose your phone or forget your password.

In that app, choose to log in with a remote signer (NIP-46, sometimes called bunker or nostrconnect). In Nostr WoT, open remote signing and scan the code it shows, or paste it, then approve the request on your phone. Requests travel over the relays set in Settings > Remote signing relays.

Yes, if they support it. They offer a "Sign with Nostr WoT" action, which shows you the request and signs only after you approve it. This extension never connects to the network.

It lets a paired computer on the same network send requests to the app directly, without relays. Switch it on in the app when you need it: it is off by default and does not stay on between launches. iOS asks for permission to use the local network the first time.

Each connected app has rules for each kind of request: always allow, ask, or deny. You can review and change them in the app's permissions, and the activity log shows what was signed.

Three: connect your own wallet with Nostr Wallet Connect ("Your own wallet"), use the self-custodial wallet built on the Breez SDK and Spark ("Self-custodial"), or use the hosted wallet we operate ("Held by us"). Payments ask for your approval unless you set a limit for an app.

It is the quickest to set up and gives you a Lightning address ([email protected]), but it is custodial: we hold the balance. Keep only small amounts in it. To hold your own funds, use the self-custodial wallet or connect your own wallet.

Turn on Tor in the app's network settings. Relays, remote signing, wallet requests and images then go through Tor, which is built into the app. The local network bridge and the self-custodial wallet do not use Tor, and connections can be slower while it is on.

It keeps an encrypted copy of your own signed events on your phone, one database per account, and can copy them to relays you choose. You can also export it to a password-protected file and import it again later.

No. We never have your password, PIN or keys, so we cannot reset or recover them. On the unlock screen, "Forgot password?" lets you reset the vault, which deletes everything on the phone; you can then import your accounts again from your seed phrase.

Install the app on the new phone and import your accounts with your seed phrase or an encrypted backup. A PIN only works on the phone where you set it, so choose a new one. You can import an exported Archive file too.
