Vector is a private, encrypted messenger for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android — built on Nostr and designed as a secure "hardline" between you and your contacts. It's free, open source, decentralized, and censorship-resistant: no KYC, no advertisements, and no ability to trace your metadata. Conversations use NIP-17 end-to-end encryption over a relay network, so there are no centralized servers storing your messages and no way for even the developers to read them. Lightweight and energy-efficient enough to run on almost any hardware, Vector is privacy without the bloat.
