Updated Feb 23, 2026

• Continuum runs entirely on your own computer.
• There is no cloud account.
• There is no hosted login.
• Your identity and your signing keys remain under your custody.

It is not a social media client. It is a sovereignty layer beneath them.

§What Continuum Does

Continuum allows you to:

• Generate or import Nostr identities
• Write notes and long-form articles
• Send and receive secure messages (DMs)
• Sign events locally with your private key
• Publish to relays when you choose

Archive everything deterministically on your machine

Signing and publishing are separate actions.

Your archive remains intact whether relays, clients, or platforms change.

§How It Works

• Install Continuum locally
• Create or import an identity
• Write content
• Sign locally

Publish to selected relays

Maintain a canonical local archive

Events propagate across Nostr clients — but your source of truth stays with you.

§Core Capabilities

• Multi-identity management
• Local key custody
• Sign-only and Sign+Publish workflows
• Long-form article publishing (kind:30023)
• Notes (kind:1)
• Delete support (kind:5)
• Encrypted direct messages (kind:4)
• Per-identity relay configuration
• SQLite-backed local database
• Deterministic export and rebuild

No subscriptions. No vendor lock-in. No dependency on a single relay or client.

§Who It’s For

Continuum is designed for:

• Writers and long-form creators
• Bitcoiners and sovereignty-minded builders
• Journalists
• Human rights advocates
• Ministries and mission-driven organizations
• Anyone who wants durable authorship

It is infrastructure for people who intend to keep their work.

§What It Is Not

• It is not a SaaS platform.
• It does not replace Nostr clients like Primal.
• It does not host your keys.

Continuum sits beneath the interface layer — providing custody, structure, and durability.

§Philosophy

Sovereignty is:

• Custody over identity
• Custody over work
• Separation of signing and publishing
• Structural exit
• Responsibility over convenience

Continuum is built on these principles.
