The shape of the work

The bottleneck was never the model. It was one window and one keyboard.

A single agent in a terminal means one conversation, one folder, and you pinned to the desk to approve every command. Relay turns that into a control room: many agents, each sandboxed, all visible at a glance, and a decision is a tap away wherever you are.

Isolation

Every agent in its own world.

Each context binds to a project folder and its own git worktree, so agents working in parallel never step on each other. Fan out four tasks, walk away, come back to four clean branches.

Per-context folder, branch, and session
Run many at once, streamed live
One glance shows what needs you

Merge

Cross the streams, on demand.

Pick two contexts, even ones running different engines, and merge them into a temporary review chat that carries the combined work. Compare approaches, take the best, throw the scratch away. The originals never change.

Multi-engine

Three engines. One muscle memory.

Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, unified under the same streaming, the same approval flow, the same slash-command palette. Choose the right brain per task, switch it per context, never learn three tools.

Identical approvals for all three
Each engine's own commands, one palette
Swap engine mid-project

Relay

Approve from anywhere.

Start a long task, pocket your phone, and get pinged the moment an agent needs a decision. Read exactly what it wants to run, tap Allow, and it keeps going. The desk is the cockpit; your phone is the pager.

Built in

Everything the workflow needs.

Interactive approvals

Approve or deny every edit and command, with arrow-key option prompts, across all three engines.

Slash commands

Relay's commands plus each engine's own, in a fast arrow-key palette.

Paste images

Drop a screenshot into any context and the agent sees it, on every engine.

Light & dark

A clean dashboard with a real dark theme and a distraction-free focus mode.

Auto-updates

Signed, in-app updates for Relay and one-click updates for every engine.

Local & private

No Relay servers. No telemetry. Your keys, your machine, your code.

Get started

One command. No account.

Installs and opens with no security prompt. Self-contained, bundles its own runtime, and auto-updates after first launch. macOS (Apple Silicon).

$curl -fsSL https://github.com/AkshobyaRaoSWE/relay/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

or download the app · all releases

Downloaded with a browser instead? macOS blocks unsigned apps once. Move Relay to Applications, then run: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Relay.app and open it. The curl command above skips this entirely.
