Oof, we might need a new "Nostr" category in the App Store soon.

Two new Nostr apps just dropped:

- Gupt: Self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted messenger powered by Nostr. No phone number, no email, no account. Like Signal/Telegram, but your keys and messages are actually yours.

- DTAN Server: A torrent network with no central website. File sharing that runs over Nostr and peer-to-peer instead of one site everyone depends on (and that can vanish overnight).

Paperclip is now live on the Umbrel App Store!

It lets you run a whole team of AI agents like a company, right on your home server.

Create agents with API keys, or login with your Codex/Claude Code subscription, or even onboard your existing OpenClaw/Hermes agent as an employee in your company!

you might've noticed hermes and openclaw have just been… insanely reliable on umbrelOS lately, right?

here's why: both apps now ship with managed umbrelOS runtime context injected into the agent's prompts

the agent now knows it's running inside an umbrelOS app, where to correctly store data, that it shouldn't self-update, where the sandbox boundaries are, and when to load deeper umbrelOS-specific guidance

basically, the agent stops doing weird stuff because it finally knows where it is

you're welcome 🤝

Nostr VPN is now live on the Umbrel App Store!

It turns your Umbrel into a private mesh VPN, aka you can securely reach your Umbrel and all your devices from anywhere in the world.

Think Tailscale, but with no third-party company and no central control server in the middle.

sure, an ai agent running on your home server is cool but how about a team of them running in parallel, sharing memory, handling your discord, your team slack, your community, all from the umbrel on your shelf?

spacebot is now live on the umbrel app store, lfggg

Another day, another Linux CVE. Truly wild times.

So here's umbrelOS 1.7.3 which patches DirtyFrag (CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500).

The vulnerability hits the news. You hit "Install now" and you're already patched. You're welcome. 🤝

if you could add one thing to umbrelOS, what would it be?

oh shit this was his second block!

The umbrelOS App Store just crossed 300+ apps. So we rebuilt https://apps.umbrel.com from the ground up.

Huge respect to every developer building these apps, and every contributor submitting them to the store! 🙌
