uid.ovh
Nostr ⇄ email bridge

Your Nostr key is now an email address.

uid.ovh bridges Nostr and ordinary email. Claim a real uid.ovh address tied to your keys, send and receive with anyone, Nostr or not.

Your keys, never ours · NIP-05 verified · No ads, no analytics, no cookies

Three steps to a custom address

Your npub already works as npub…@uid.ovh (hex and base36 too). Claim a short name only when you want one.

  1. 01

    Connect your key

    Sign in with a Nostr extension, a remote signer, or your private key. You prove ownership by signing, never by handing over a secret.

  2. 02

    Claim an alias

    Pick a name on uid.ovh. You sign the claim and the alias is yours, instantly verifiable as NIP-05.

  3. 03

    Send & receive

    Outbound Nostr messages leave as email; inbound email comes back over Nostr. The bridge handles the translation both ways.

What crosses the bridge

uid.ovh translates between two worlds so you live in just one.

Nostr → email

A signed Nostr message leaves the bridge as an ordinary SMTP email to any inbox in the world.

Email → Nostr

An email sent to your uid.ovh alias is delivered back to you as a Nostr message.

Doubles as NIP-05

Your public alias is also a NIP-05 identifier, so people can verify your name@uid.ovh on Nostr.

Email, the Nostr way

Sign in with your keys

Extension (NIP-07), remote signer (NIP-46), or a local private key (nsec). Your identity is your key. Nothing to remember, no secret shared with us.

Aliases you manage

Claim addresses, make them public or private, release them. Every change is authorized by a signature from your key.

Reaches real inboxes

Messages cross the bridge as ordinary email, so anyone can write to you and you can write to anyone, Nostr account or not.
