Vega: A Tauri-based Nostr client with embedded relay and Lightning zaps
Vega is a free, open-source desktop Nostr client built with Tauri 2.0, React 19, and Rust. It embeds a local relay for offline-first data sovereignty, supports Lightning zaps, and offers long-form writing features. The app is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux, with installers as small as 6 MB.
