How do I skip the Divine waitlist or invite code?

You don't need to wait for an invite. Create a free Nostr account on Ditto (ditto.pub), save your nsec, then tap 'Sign in with a different account' in the Divine app and import your Nostr key. You're in, no invite code required.

Divine is a short-form video app built on the decentralized Nostr protocol. It's often described as a spiritual successor to Vine, letting anyone post, watch, and discover looping videos — with an account that works across the whole Nostr ecosystem.

Yes. Divine is a short-form looping-video app often called the spiritual successor to Vine, but built on Nostr so your account and content aren't locked to a single company.

How do I get a Divine invite code?

Two options: get a code from an existing Divine user, or use your Nostr account to sign in — which bypasses the invite-code requirement entirely. Logging in with Nostr is faster than waiting for an invite, and it gives you a portable account you can take to other apps.

Yes. Divine is a free app available in the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Can I use Divine on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Divine is available on both the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android). You can also find download links at divine.video.

An nsec is your Nostr private key — the credential that proves you own your Nostr account. It looks like a long string starting with nsec1. Treat it like a master password: anyone who has it can post as you.

Is it safe to paste my nsec into Divine?

Divine is built by our partners at And Other Stuff and is designed around open Nostr standards. As a general rule, you should only paste your nsec into apps you trust. For extra safety, you can use a remote signer app like nsec.app or Amber instead of pasting your key directly.

Can I use my Divine account on other apps?

Yes — that's exactly the point of Nostr. The same account works on Ditto, Damus, Primal, Amethyst, and many more. Your followers and profile follow you everywhere.

What is Nostr and how does it relate to Divine?

Divine is built on Nostr, a decentralized social protocol. The account you make on Ditto works on Divine — and on Damus, Primal, Amethyst, and dozens more. No phone number, no email, no invite codes. You own your identity.

Ditto is a free, open-source Nostr client built by Soapbox at ditto.pub. It runs in any browser and is also available as a native app for iOS and Android. Because Ditto is built on Nostr, the account you create on Ditto works on Divine, Damus, Primal, Amethyst, and every other Nostr app — one identity, every app. Learn more at soapbox.pub/ditto.

What happens to my Ditto profile when I log in to Divine?

Nothing bad. Your profile, username, posts, and follower list come with you automatically — they aren't stored on Ditto. They live on the Nostr network, and Divine is just a different way to view the same data.

Where can I watch divines without downloading Divine?

At ditto.pub/vines, right in your browser. Every public divine posted on Nostr shows up in that feed, and you can comment using the Ditto account you created above.

How to Log In to Divine Without an Invite Code (Using Nostr)

Q: Do I need an invite code to use Divine?

No. Divine's sign-up flow requires an invite code, but signing in with an existing Nostr account does not. Create a Nostr account anywhere (we recommend Ditto), then log in to Divine with your nsec.

Divine, the short-form video app built on Nostr, is live in the Apple App Store and Google Play today. Widely described as a spiritual successor to Vine, Divine is gated by invite codes at sign-up — but here's the trick most people don't know: you don't actually need one. There's a second way in. Log in with an existing Nostr account and you walk right past the invite-code requirement.

The 30-Second Shortcut

Go to ditto.pub and sign up to get your nsec (Nostr login password).
Download your nsec during signup (tap Save Key), or copy it later from Profile Settings → Advanced.
Open Divine → tap Sign in with a different account → Import Nostr key → paste your nsec.
You're in, and you can post to Divine with no invite code. This is a benefit of decentralized tech like Nostr — not a bug or a hack.

How to Log In to Divine With Nostr (Step by Step)

We'll use Ditto to create a free Nostr account, then use that account to log in to Divine. We're suggesting Ditto because it's built by our team at And Other Stuff, but this same flow works with any Nostr app — you can discover more at nostrapps.com.

Step 1: Create a Free Nostr Account on Ditto

Head to ditto.pub in any browser — desktop or mobile, both work. Or download the Ditto app from the Google Play or Apple App Store.

App Store

Google Play

Click Sign up, then on the next screen tap Generate my key. Ditto creates a fresh Nostr key pair for you — no email, no phone number, no personal info required. Once you have your key, tap Save Key on the "Your secret key" screen to download it as a file — this is your nsec, the credential you'll paste into Divine in Part 2.

Once you're signed up, you can already use Ditto to view and comment on divines — check out the live feed at ditto.pub/vines. You'll also see content from all around Nostr in your home feed.

How to Get Your Nostr Secret Key From Ditto Later

If you dismissed the signup screen or want to copy your nsec again later, you can always find it under Profile Settings → Advanced. Tap the copy icon next to "Your Key" to copy the nsec to your clipboard, or tap Back Up Key to download it as a file again. (On Android, your key file saves with a download notification like the one shown; on iPhone it saves to the Files app.)

Treat Your nsec Like a Master Password

Anyone who has your nsec can post as you, read your DMs, and impersonate you. Store it in a password manager like 1Password, Bitwarden, or Dashlane — not a plain-text note, not an email to yourself, not a screenshot. Don't share it with anyone, ever.

Step 2: Download the Divine App

Grab the Divine app from your app store of choice:

divine.video (links to both stores)
Search "Divine" in the Apple App Store (iOS)
Search "Divine" in the Google Play Store (Android)

Divine app welcome screen on iOS — Sign in with a different account button to skip the invite code

Divine app Sign in screen with the Import Nostr key option for logging in without an invite code

Divine app Import your Nostr identity screen — paste your nsec to log in to Divine without an invite code

Step 3: Log In With Your Nostr nsec on Divine

Open Divine and tap through these three screens:

Welcome screen ("Authentic moments. Human creativity.") — tap Sign in with a different account at the bottom. (The other button, Create a new Divine account, is the one that requires an invite code.)
Sign in screen — ignore the email and password fields at the top, scroll to the bottom, and tap Import Nostr key.
Import your Nostr identity screen — paste your nsec (the long string starting with nsec1… that you saved from Ditto) into the Private key or bunker URL field, then tap the green Import Nostr key button.

That's it. You're in. Your Ditto username, avatar, posts, and followers all come with you — because they live on Nostr, not on any one app.

Protect Your nsec Like It's Your Password (Because It Is)

Now that your Nostr key is doing real work for you, take two minutes to lock it down properly:

Do This

• Save your nsec in a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, Dashlane)

• Keep a second backup somewhere offline — written on paper in a safe works

• Only paste your nsec into apps you trust

• Consider using a signer app like nsec.app or Amber so you don't have to paste your key into every app you try

Never Do This

• Send your nsec in DMs, email, or texts

• Paste it into a random website that asks for it

• Store it in a plain-text notes app or Google Doc

• Share it with "support" — no legit support team will ever ask for your nsec

For the full deep-dive, see our guide on how to store and manage your Nostr private key. And if you eventually decide to start fresh inside Divine instead, we have a separate guide on how to export your Nostr keys from Divine.
