In February 2014, Apple removed the last Bitcoin wallet from its App Store without explanation. A decade later, the freedom technology community has built an answer: a complete mobile stack where no corporation can decide what you install, who you talk to, or how you manage your identity.

The Nostr community has spent two years trying to graft individual sovereignty patterns onto organizational use cases, producing solutions that are slow, brittle, and unnecessarily complex. A custodial team client, where the organization holds the nsec on its own server and grants employees permissioned access, would be faster, more stable, and actually match how organizations have always operated.
