A bare-bones, Google-free Nostr client for Android

Bony is a bare-bones Nostr client for Android — no Google Services, no analytics, no tracking. Your private key never touches the app; signing is always handled by an external signer like Amber. Identity is shown as human-readable word phrases derived from your pubkey rather than truncated hex strings.
