1. Amethyst - v1.05.0: Bookmark Lists, Voice Notes, and WoT Scores
Amethyst is an Android Nostr client designed for social networking and communication, enabling users to post, follow, bookmark, zap, and exchange messages over Nostr relays in a mobile-first experience. This release adds full bookmark list management, a redesigned voice notes and replies system, and introduces Web of Trust (WoT) scores via trusted providers to help surface reputable accounts, while significantly improving relay information visibility, database performance, caching, and event parsing. Together, these changes make Amethyst faster, more expressive, and safer to use, helping users better organize content, communicate more naturally, and navigate Nostr with greater confidence. This was the biggest release and the latest release was v1.05.1 of the week.

2. Amber - v4.0.7
Amber is an Android Nostr event signer that allows users and apps to securely create and sign Nostr events without exposing private keys. This release focuses on stability and usability by fixing several crashes, separating relay notifications from service-related notifications for clearer messaging, and preserving screen state on the login screen, resulting in a more reliable and smoother signing experience for both end users and developers integrating Nostr authentication and event signing into their apps.

Bug fixes and UX enhancements, including improved notifications behavior, deep link handling, and richer media metadata, result in a more stable, polished, and seamless daily Nostr experience.
