About Amethyst

Amethyst brings the best social network to your Android phone. Just insert your Nostr

private key and start posting.

Nostr

is an open protocol that is able to create a censorship-resistant global "social" network, transferring

notes and other stuff using relays. It doesn't rely on any trusted central server, hence it is resilient;

it is based on cryptographic keys and signatures, so it is tamperproof; it does not rely on P2P techniques,

therefore it works.

What you can do with Amethyst

Post text, photos, videos, long-form articles, polls and voice notes to the relays you choose.

Follow people, reply, repost, react and quote.

Send private, end-to-end encrypted direct messages and join group chats.

Browse dedicated feeds: articles, pictures, short videos, live streams, podcasts, music, communities,

classifieds, calendars and more.

Send and receive Bitcoin Lightning zaps.

Track your training and share a workout — see below.

My Fitness — track your training

Amethyst includes a personal training dashboard. Open the left drawer and tap My Fitness ,

under You . It summarises the workouts you have logged in Amethyst, and — with your

permission — the ones your watch or fitness app has already saved to Android Health Connect

(Samsung Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, Garmin Connect, Strava and others all write there). It shows

you:

How much you trained this week, and whether that is up or down on last week.

Your four-week weekly average for time, distance, steps and climb.

Where your time goes — running, cycling, walking, hiking, swimming, rowing, the gym.

Your best efforts: longest distance, longest workout, biggest climb, most steps, highest heart rate.
