Provides protection that does not rely on the OS credential store: when a passphrase is set, the AES master key is stored only wrapped (AES-256-GCM) under an Argon2id-derived key in master.key.enc, and the plain keystore and its credential-store/file password are deleted. The passphrase is never persisted. - PassphraseLock: enable/unlock/lock/disable/changePassphrase, with a DISABLED/LOCKED/UNLOCKED state flow the UI observes - Startup unlock screen; Settings → Security controls to set, change and remove the passphrase, choose an auto-lock timeout, and lock on demand - Locking evicts every decrypted key from memory, clears pending requests and disconnects the relays; the bunker engine refuses to consume or subscribe while locked, so nothing can be signed until unlock - Auto-lock after an idle timeout (off by default); activity resets it - Full-lifecycle unit test with reduced Argon2 cost parameters Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YQTVwy8RBj7spdEK3aEc3i
Amber: Nostr event signer for Android
Amber is a nostr event signer for Android. It allows users to keep their nsec segregated in a single, dedicated app. The goal of Amber is to have your smartphone act as a NIP-46 signing device without any need for servers or additional hardware. "Private keys should be exposed to as few systems as possible as each system adds to the attack surface," as the rationale of said NIP states. In addition to native apps, Amber aims to support all current nostr web applications without requiring any extensions or web servers.
Desktop
Amber also runs on Windows, macOS and Linux as a NIP-46 signer built with Compose for Desktop. It supports the same accounts, permissions and bunker connections as the Android app (minus NIP-55, which is Android-only IPC). See desktop/README.md for build and usage instructions.
Current Features
- Offline
- Use nip-46 or make an addendum in nip-46
- Improve the ui (currently its showing a text with the raw json of the event)
- Check if we can use Amber to sign the events of web applications
- Change the sign button to just copy the signature of the event
- Use content provider to sign events in background when you checked the remember my choice option on android
- Support for multiple accounts

Development with Codex Web
This repository includes reusable Codex Web environment scripts so cloud tasks can bootstrap the Android build without manual setup. In the Codex Web environment settings, use:
bash .codex/setup.sh
as the setup script, and optionally use:
bash .codex/maintenance.sh
as the maintenance script for cached containers. The setup script installs or verifies Java 21, bootstraps the Android command-line SDK, installs Android API 36/build-tools 36.0.0, accepts SDK licenses, and warms Gradle dependencies for the default free debug unit-test sources.
Security and Verification
🔐 All releases are cryptographically signed with GPG for your security.
Before installing any APK from our releases, we strongly recommend verifying its authenticity to ensure it hasn't been tampered with.
📋 View Release Verification Guide
The verification process involves:
- Importing our GPG public key
- Verifying the release manifest signature
- Checking file integrity with SHA256 hashes
GPG Key Details:
- Key ID:
44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D - Fingerprint:
44F0 AAEB 77F3 7374 7E3D 5444 8858 22EE D3A2 6A6D - User ID:
greenart7c3 <greenart7c3@proton.me>
Quick verification:
# Import the signing key
gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 44F0AAEB77F373747E3D5444885822EED3A26A6D
# Verify a release (example for v1.0.0)
gpg --verify manifest-v1.0.0.txt.sig manifest-v1.0.0.txt
⚠️ Security Notice: Only download releases from this official GitHub repository. If GPG verification fails, do not install the APK and report it as a security issue.
Verifying Reproducibility of Amber
To confirm that the Amber build is reproducible, follow these steps:
- Run the following command to build the image with no cache and specified version:
docker build -t amber-repro --progress=plain --no-cache --build-arg VERSION=v4.0.2 --build-arg APK_TYPE=free-arm64-v8a .
- After the image is built, run the container:
docker run --rm amber-repro
- You should see the following message indicating success:
APKs match!
