Nostr VPN is a Tailscale-style private mesh VPN that uses Nostr-related infrastructure and a FIPS-based data plane to connect devices securely. This version improves network joining and automatic reconnections, fixes desktop networking and control issues, and strengthens connection security. The update also adds appearance options and IPv6 exit-route support on Windows, while further work is still needed to reduce idle CPU usage on iPhone.

No Exploration Tools Updates and Releases for last week.

Nostr is built by plebs, for the plebs. If you found this Nostr recap helpful, consider supporting me, Nomishka, with a zap.

I’m committed to supporting Nostr, and I split a part of the zaps I receive for this note with the plebs mentioned in this recap for all their great effort. Thank you so much for being part of this journey. Let me know your thoughts about this Hundredth Nostr Recap & share your tips and suggestions for the next weekly #NostrRecap and let’s keep #GrowNostr together.

Thank you Jurjen de Vries (npub1l77…swft) for this amazing idea!

A big shoutout to rabble (npub1wmr…g240) for your generous patronage for my Nostr Recaps!

Thank you, my younger brother Samalka (npub1nu5…hjyn) for helping me with the content and graphic stuff for my Nostr Recaps!

Nostr Mail Client is a Flutter-based email app built on Nostr that lets users send and receive encrypted emails. This release adds multiple email signatures with images, flexible login using an nsec, ncryptsec, or bunker URL, and options to move emails into folders or apply tags. It also improves relay configuration handling, speeds up inbox access after login, increases screen-reader accessibility on the web, and fixes email notifications, unsaved profile changes, and Windows startup issues.

15. Sidecar - v1.16.2

Sidecar is a browser-sidebar Nostr keystore and signer that also provides wallet integrations for managing Bitcoin and Lightning payments. This release adds Blitz and LNbits to its wallet directory, introduces a Spark wallet filter, and improves panel performance by loading the video-player library only when a livestream is played. It also adjusts the account overview while videos are open, reduces wallet balance refreshes, and prevents repeated lock-screen alerts from Blitz wallets. There was also the release of v1.16.1 last week.

Introducing codr: a lightweight Herdr plugin built on the Marmot Development Kit (MDK), using White Noise as its mobile interface.

Each White Noise group maps to one Herdr agent session. A Rust bridge uses a single Marmot identity to route prompts, final replies, and agent status updates between your phone and your running sessions.

The current release runs on Linux, with structured final replies supported for OpenCode.

One-prompt installation instructions for your agent at the top of the README.
