# 🔐 NIP49 Key Encrypt/Decrypt & Conversion CLI
A tiny, no-fuss command-line tool to **encrypt**, **decrypt**, and **convert** Nostr keys — safely and offline.
Built for privacy-conscious users who want a secure and user-friendly way to handle their Nostr keys using [NIP49](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/49.md).
---
## ✨ Features
- 🔐 **Encrypt / Decrypt** your Nostr `nsec` keys using a password (NIP49)
- 🔁 **Convert** private key hex ↔ `nsec` and public key hex ↔ `npub`
- 🧭 Friendly CLI with step-by-step wizard prompts
- ⚙️ Pure Python. No compiling, no GUI — just run and go
- 🔒 Secure: works 100% offline — no network requests
---
## 🍎 macOS Setup
### ✅ 1. Install Python 3 (via Homebrew)
If you dont already have Python 3:
```bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
brew install python
```
Confirm its working:
```bash
python3 --version
```
📦 Installation
```bash
📁 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/btcforplebs/nip49-decrypt.git
```
cd nip49-decrypt
### 🧪 2. Create and activate a virtual environment
```bash
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
### 📦 3. Install Python packages
```bash
pip install bech32 cryptography ecdsa pynacl
If pynacl fails, the script will fall back to cryptography for encryption.
```
### ✅ 4. Make it executable
```bash
chmod +x nip-49decrypt
```
▶️ Usage
From the project directory, run:
```bash
./nip-49decrypt
```
Youll see a friendly menu:
```bash
Choose an action:
(d) Decrypt an encrypted key with password
(e) Encrypt a private key with password
(h) Convert private key hex to nsec
(p) Convert public key hex to npub
(q) Quit
```
### 🔐 Example: Decrypt a Key
Select (d)
Paste your ncryptsec string
Enter your password (input hidden)
View your decrypted raw private key and corresponding nsec
### 🛠️ Other Features
Convert raw hex → nsec
Choose (h) and enter your private key as 64-character hex.
Convert public key hex → npub
Choose (p) and paste a 66-character (compressed) or 130-character (uncompressed) public key in hex.
Encrypt nsec → ncryptsec
Choose (e) and paste your private key (hex or nsec). Youll be prompted for a password, and the script will return a password-encrypted ncryptsec.
### 🧼 To Exit
Use (q) or press Ctrl + C at any time.

venv/ Your virtual environment (optional)
### 🧠 FAQ
❓ Is this secure?
✅ Yes. This script never sends anything over the internet.
❓ Can I run it offline?
✅ 100%. Works without an internet connection.
❓ What if a Python package is missing?
🛠️ The script will detect it and print exact instructions for how to install it.
❓ Can I compile this to a single file?
Yes! You can use tools like pyinstaller to build a standalone binary.
