Product tour
Four screens replace six tools
Relay isn't a bundle of mini-apps: it's one data model wearing four faces. A comment becomes a task, a task feeds a digest, a digest lands in your inbox. Nothing is copied, so nothing goes stale.
Tasks & projects
A board your whole team actually keeps current
Projects live on boards, lists or timelines: same data, three views. Every task links to the doc it came from, so “what's the status?” has a permanent answer.
- Board, list and timeline views on the same project
- Tasks created straight from doc comments or update threads
- Cycle-time and aging signals surface stuck work automatically
- Keyboard-first: create, assign and move without touching the mouse
Docs & decisions
Write the plan where the work happens
Specs, briefs and meeting notes with real-time co-editing and threaded comments. Resolve a comment into a task, a decision or a changelog line: nothing dies in the margin.
- Real-time co-editing with per-paragraph comment threads
- Comments resolve into tasks or logged decisions, not silence
- Version history on every doc: free plan included
- Templates for specs, briefs, retros and launch plans
Async updates
The standup that runs while everyone sleeps
Each person answers a two-minute prompt on their own schedule. Relay compiles one digest per team, timezone-aware, with blockers pinned to the top: read it in 90 seconds instead of a 30-minute call.
- Personal check-in prompts on each member's own clock
- One compiled digest per team, blockers first
- Timezone-aware delivery: Auckland reads it at their 9 am
- Skip-a-day honesty: unanswered prompts show as “no update,” never guilt
Inbox & automations
One inbox for everything that needs you
Mentions, assignments, approvals and digest replies land in a single triage queue. Automations handle the routing, when a design is approved, the build task assigns itself.
- Every mention, assignment and approval in one queue
- Snooze, delegate or done: inbox zero is a real state here
- Rule-based automations: status changes trigger assignments
- Connects to Slack, GitHub, Figma, Google Drive and 40+ tools
Fast is a feature
Built for people who hate waiting for software
Every screen renders from local data first and syncs behind you. The whole product is keyboard-operable: these four shortcuts do most of a workday.
⌘K
Jump to any doc, board, person or setting
C
New task from anywhere, even mid-sentence in a doc
E
Inbox item done; S snoozes it to tomorrow's digest
;
Command menu on any selection: assign, label, link
Works with your stack
Keep chat. Keep git. Lose the glue work.
