Relay

Your AI coding agents are about to hit their limits. Relay keeps them going.

_The handoff protocol for AI coding agents: a signed, portable contract that carries intent, plan, and in-flight code from one agent to the next._

Relay detects the Claude Code / Codex / Copilot / Cursor / Cline / Antigravity sessions already running on your machine, reads what each one is doing, and hands the work to a fresh agent, account, or provider before any of them runs out of quota. One subscription dies, the task lives on another.

_Vendor-neutral. Works across Claude, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, Ollama, Copilot, Continue, Cline, Cursor._

Download

The desktop app is the recommended way to run Relay: the daemon ships inside, so nothing else is needed. These always point at the latest release.

Installers are unsigned for now (see Code signing policy below), so first launch trips SmartScreen on Windows or Gatekeeper on macOS. Click through it, or verify the download against the release's SHA256SUMS first if you want extra assurance.

Prefer the CLI/TUI instead? Grab the matching archive from the latest release, or install straight from the terminal:

60-second quickstart

Prerequisites: git, plus at least one AI agent CLI installed and authenticated (for example npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code then claude login).

macOS / Linux

Windows (PowerShell)

Run a task

Opening the desktop app starts the daemon for you and leaves it running after you close the window, so the CLI keeps working against the same orchestrator.

Desktop app

Two desktop clients ship in this repo, both rendering the same daemon API:

The egui app still builds and is still published in the release archives so
existing setups keep working, but new design work…
