#Amethyst v1.05.0: Bookmark Lists, Voice Notes, and WoT Scores
This release introduces Bookmark List management, a complete overhaul of Voice Notes/YakBaks, and the debut of Web of Trust (WoT) scores for a safer social experience.
This version adds support for creating, managing, deleting, and viewing multiple bookmark lists, which include both public and private members. You will find an improved "Bookmarks" menu option in the sidebar and extra bookmark options in the context menu of each post, allowing you to add posts directly to one or more individual lists.
The Voice Notes UI has been redesigned to allow recording directly within the new Post Screen and a dedicated Voice Reply screen. Users can record a new voice message, preview it with waveform visualization, re-record if needed, select a media server, and post the reply. You now have full control.
Amethyst now supports Trusted Assertions. By connecting to a WoT provider, you can see trust scores and verified follower counts directly on user pictures. This helps filter signal from noise, identifying reputable accounts to follow, which DMs to open, and which notifications to prioritize. To activate this, you will need to find a provider capable of computing these scores. While providers are currently limited and resource-constrained, we hope more will bring their own algorithms to Nostr over time.
Quartz received a significantly improved database engine capable of sub-microsecond queries using Android's default SQLite database. The engine is optimized for mobile environments, using as little memory as
possible to avoid impacting other apps.
In the background, we have begun building Amethyst Desktop. While much work remains, the goal is a standalone, mouse-first application that moves away from mobile-centric UI layouts.
New Features
- Trusted Assertions: Added support for trust scores displayed on user profile pictures
- WoT Followers: Displays verified follower counts in user profiles
- Bookmark Lists: Full support for custom lists by @nprofile…n65v
- Relay Information: New UI with expanded NIP-11 feature support
- Voice Notes & Replies: Redesigned experience by @nprofile…m3sx
- Profile Banner: New default banner by @nprofile…ums7
- Native Links: Intercept njump, yakihonne, primal, iris.to, zap.stream, and shosho.live to open directly on Amethyst by @nprofile…7adk
Improvements:
- New in-memory graph-based cache scheme; moved reports and WoT scores to this new system
- Disabled top bar reappearance to prevent feed shifting when navigating between pages
- Lenient Kotlin Serialization to prevent crashes from malformed JSON;
- Removed expired addressable events from cache
- Moves reports from the old caching system to the new Graph-based one.
- Reverted to a 500-post load limit for Profile screens to handle high-reply accounts
- Moved the QR Code screen from a Dialog to a full Route.
- Re-adds name as a tagging name to the profile edit page.
Performance:
- Faster event id checker by serializing, sha256 hashing, and ID comparison without creating any intermediary buffers.
- Faster event JSON parsers by avoiding new variables and thus garbage collection calls
- Faster tag array Deserializer
- Manages the pool state without having to loop through relays, saving some milliseconds of processing.

#Amethyst v1.04.0: Lists for all
This version adds support for creating, managing, deleting, and viewing follow lists, which include both public and private members. We've also added similar UI to support for creating, managing, deleting, and viewing follow packs from following.space, allowing you to assemble following lists not only for yourself, but also as a starter packs for other users. You will find a new "My Lists" menu option in the side bar and Follow buttons when extended behavior to add users directly into lists or packs.
This version also introduces significant improvements to the quality of video compression and hash checks during media upload/download, along with new codecs and a new image gallery for displaying sequences of images in posts. The startup loading of outbox relay lists and user metadata for large follow lists (> 1000 people) has been significantly improved with new mechanisms to search for missing outbox relay lists.
The Top Bar filter "All Follows" now merges all follow lists, follow packs, following hashtags, following geotags, and following communities into a single feed. Two new options were also added: "All User Follows," which includes only the main and other follow lists, and "Default Follow List," which is the standard follow list used by every client.
Finally, we completed our Quartz migration to Kotlin Multiplatform, added significant performance improvements when processing events and running cryptographic procedures, as well as new ease-of-use extensions.

#Amethyst v1.00.0: Full Outbox
This version completes our migration to the outbox model, where the app dynamically manages the relay list used to pull posts from your follows' own relay lists. By default, the app will connect to relays that aren't in your lists through our embedded Tor. Normal usage will connect to hundreds of relays. Many of them will fail, and that's ok. Nostr has baked-in redundancy; these failures won't affect your experience.
New relay lists were added to the UI to help you manage how the app works. Specifically, you can now block relays and add trusted relays. Trusted relays will connect outside of Tor, which is faster, but allows those relays to see your IP. You should only add relays there if you trust the relay operator. Proxy relays (like filter.nostr.wine) can be added to the proxy list. After that, the app will only use those relays to download the content for your feeds, disabling the outbox model. DMs and other non-outbox functionality will still use their own relays. Broadcasting relays can be added to push your events out there. Every new event from the app will be sent to all broadcasting relays. Finally, the new Indexer list allows you to choose which relays to use to find users, like purplepages.es.
For users of our Quartz library, we have finished all of the work to change the library's mindset from a fixed list to a dynamic pool of relays. Now, each NIP has its own dedicated folder and defines its own tags and caching structures. This expansion allows us to add diverse functionalities such as relay clients, relay servers, event builders, Nostr filter builders, caching systems, deletion and event hint indexers, helper functions, and more—all specifically tailored to each individual NIP. This modular approach creates the space to develop each NIP independently and integrate them into Amethyst as distinct modules, while still sharing Amethyst's main relay and cache engine when necessary. We expect fewer breaking changes as we move forward with it. At some point, Quartz will move to its own repository and be converted to a Kotlin Multiplatform project for each NIP/module. This will allow us to build demo/testing applications for each NIP in the same repo.

Its your search relays. You don't have any. I am surprised that tagging is even working. Go to the relay list and press the reset button on search.
And since you are there, do the same for the DM list.

#Amethyst v0.94.2: Fixes Tor leaks
This release fixes two Tor leaks introduced during the migration of two APIs in v0.94.0. The new relay API contained a bug that bypassed the user's Tor preference for relays and the migration to Coil3 implemented a one-time cache for the Tor preference, preventing it from reflecting subsequent changes for image loading.
Thanks to @nprofile…w6hs for the Tor audit

#Amethyst v0.94.0: Encrypted Media on DMs
Now every upload on DM chats will be encrypted to the destination's pubkey following the same spec 0xChat uses. This offers a massive update in privacy from the common "hidden link" design. The encrypted blobs are sent to NIP-96 and Blossom servers. Make sure your server accepts encrypted blobs. Sattelite and void.cat do accept. We redesigned our upload screens to allow multiple images/videos on new posts, stories, and chat encryption.

Amethyst's left drawer, backup keys. On the bottom part of the screen insert a password and hit export. The ncryptsec1 will be copied to the clipboard. Then add nostr: in front of it to make a URI and put it on the NFC tag.

#Amethyst v0.92.0: Tor and NFC-hosted transient accounts
This version ships with a Tor service enabled by default to access .onion urls and untrusted relays from the Outbox model. It also offers NFC-hosted transient accounts: accounts that log off as soon as the app goes to the background, deleting all traces of the account from the phone.
Write your ncryptsec to an NFC tag and hide it in your clothing. When you need to use Amethyst, tap the tag, insert your password and login. Lock the screen to delete everything. If you are an activist and if your phone is confiscated, they will never find anything on the phone. Not even your public key. Ncryptsec is a NIP-49-based password-encrypted nsec. If you need, you can destroy and dispose the NFC tag.
Features:
- Adds tor node
- Adds multiple settings for the use of Tor
- Adds privacy presets to simplify Tor choices
- Adds support for NFC-hosted transient accounts
- Adds button to take and add pictures from camera by @nprofile…fpck
