Versions:
nos is a lightweight, cross-platform command-line client developed by PlebOne that enables users to interact directly with the decentralized Nostr social-network protocol from any Windows, macOS, or Linux terminal. Currently at version 1.1.4 and offered in two distinct releases, the software is designed for users who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and want to publish short messages, browse relay-based feeds, and participate in Nostr conversations without launching a graphical application. Its deliberately minimal footprint makes it suitable for running on servers, embedded systems, or development environments where system resources are constrained, while the carefully formatted terminal output presents timelines and interactions in a visually clean, readable style. Typical use cases include scheduled bots that broadcast announcements to multiple relays, developers testing protocol compliance, privacy-focused individuals who disable background services, and administrators who script automated cross-posting from RSS or other sources. By keeping all operations inside the shell, nos also appeals to professionals who manage remote machines through SSH and want to monitor or contribute to Nostr discussions without transferring graphical sessions. The program supports posting plain-text notes, querying available relays, and displaying personalized feeds, all through intuitive single-word commands and optional flags that mirror familiar Unix conventions. nos is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
