Version 26.5.8 introduces lightning addresses ending with @linky.fit 🚀
* The main benefit is that you can now receive tokens from your primary mint (until now, tokens received through this feature always came from Minibits, even if you were using different mint).
* New accounts will get this address suffix automatically, but you can simply change it to @npub.cash and it should work as well.
* For existing accounts, just open your profile settings and click the refresh button to switch to the Linky version.
* I've also added a paid option to set a custom address — for example, I personally use hynek@linky.fit.
* Only one custom address can be purchased per npub.
* Both your generated address and your custom address will work for receiving payments.
Let me know if you have any questions, ideas, or feedback about this 🫡

Linky is a mobile-first PWA for managing contacts, messaging via Nostr, and sending Lightning payments using Cashu tokens. It is local-first: your data is stored locally and the app works offline.
Version 26.5.7
* Small fix for the contacts scroll — it should stutter less now
* Increased the font size when typing a message
* Added the ability to set a custom status in profile editing
* Avatar refresh — until now, your contacts’ avatars were loaded only once; now the app checks from time to time if they’ve changed
* Added the ability to archive contacts (and filter archived ones)
* Added the ability to block contacts
Improved UI of the messages
* Sent messages are highlighted in green, received messages in gray
* Token amounts now display their unit
* If you share a contact in a message, it's now visually represented as well — clicking it adds that contact
* I also fixed owner rotation and incorrect message display when a message comes from a deleted contact
* If you pay to a Lightning address that's in your contacts, it's now correctly linked to that contact in the transaction history as well


Fast switching between units… and private mode 🥷
Many bug fixes and info about new version has been added.


Avatar customization is now more fun
Automatic key saving 🎉
Chrome, Safari work – Android doesn’t yet, but it should be available soon as well.
After clicking on "submit," the scan continues to open (you can scan various things – for example, lnurl, lightning address, a specific invoice, or even a cashu token, contact, etc.).
I have now added an option to select a photo from your gallery at the bottom – this allows you to load a QR code in this way, which is useful when moving from one app to another. Personally, I would prefer copy/paste, but I've seen a lot of people do it this way.
More interesting is the option to emit a token – you enter the amount that will be reserved from your funds, then you can show someone the QR code, send it to a specific contact, or even send it via Signal or any messenger – even to someone who doesn't have any bitcoin app.

Update released 🚀
* Improved copy on welcome screen
* The items in “Getting Started” are now bullet points
* I removed cashu words from the settings - it wasn’t working properly. If there’s interest in the future, I’ll implement it again
* The scan feature is larger
* Added the option to input data into scanning - for example an LN invoice or npub
* The scanner now opens immediately when adding a contact
* I set “Wallet” as the main page
* I wasn’t able to implement URI linking… I think a native app will be needed first
* I fixed repeated loading of already received messages
You can choose your avatar from 8 random derivations.


You can switch to fiat if you are not ready for sats. I chose a somewhat unconventional approach. Two different units are not shown at the same time. And no decimals. If you want USD, you don’t see sats, and vice versa. In reality, everything is of course still in sats. Give it a try. I think it works quite nicely.
I also adjusted the limit setting for payments without confirmation. You can now enter your own amount as well, always in your selected currency.
It’s now also possible to scan LNURL (even without a predefined amount).
At the same time, if a contact can be extracted from it, the app assigns it so you know who you’re paying. If you don’t have that contact saved yet, the app will offer to save it to your contacts.


Lightning payments above defined threshold needs to be confirmed now.
You can change the threshold in settings.


Visible messages from unknown contact


Simplified profile and receive screen.


Messages from unknown users will be visible for faster pairing.
