Family coordination
Keep plans, check-ins, and sensitive family details in a place meant for your group.
Self-hosted private messaging
Private messages for people you actually trust.
Relay is a self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted messenger for small trusted groups — built so trusted devices can read messages and servers cannot.
For approved Relay users.

Self-hosted
E2EE
Temporary web access
Plain privacy
Privacy should be the default path.
Relay is designed around a simple boundary: devices you trust can read the conversation. Infrastructure routes encrypted data without becoming the trusted party.
End-to-end encrypted conversations
Ciphertext-only server posture
Temporary web access, not permanent browser trust
Small groups
Built for small groups, not the whole internet.
Private operations
Coordinate practical work without asking the server to become part of the conversation.
Small trusted teams
Use a focused messenger for people who already know why they are in the room.
Recovery workflows
Support careful recovery steps with clear trust boundaries and fewer permanent surfaces.
What Relay is not
No ads. No trackers. No surveillance angle.
- Not ad-tech
- Not surveillance software
- Not a mass-market social network
- Not a promise of anonymity
