Today I’m launching Hessible, a Nostr-native contacts app for Android.
Hessible syncs directly with Android’s local contacts store and backs up your contacts to a set of Nostr relays. Everything is NIP-44 encrypted before leaving your device, so there is no central provider or CardDAV server to run. Photos are encrypted first and then stored on Blossom servers.
Hessible supports searching for your nostr friends using their NIP-05 or npub and you can enrich already existing contacts with nostr metadata as well.
For durability, I recommend running either a paid, selfhosted or local relay (like Citrine, which will be autodetected!) so you don’t get surprise contact loss because all relays silently dropped old notes.
Let me know if you like it!

The nostr-native Boris reader app is awesome. Beautiful to look at, intuitive to use and it's surfacing quite some interesting content.
Not gonna use that spammy highlight-quote-post because it's annoying.
