Your notifications shouldn't need a middleman.

Every push notification you get; from basically every app, has to pass through Apple or Google's servers to reach your phone. Even some "private" apps often run their own push relay that has to see enough of your messages to build the notification text. Either way: someone, somewhere, now has a timestamped record of who's contacting you, how often, and about what.

Nostr Vault doesn't do that. There is no push server. None.

Your notifications are generated entirely on-device, by your own embedded relay, from data that's already yours; read from relays you chose. Nobody sees a mention, reply, DM, or zap hit your phone except you. Not us, not Apple, not Google.

Self-custody shouldn't stop at your keys. It should cover who gets to know you got a message at all.
