Support

Help for the Relay desktop and mobile apps.

Need help or found a bug? Open an issue on GitHub. Include your device, operating system, and what you were doing. We read every report.

Pair your phone with your computer

  1. Install Relay on your computer and open Settings → Phone.
  2. In the mobile app, choose Connect to Computer and scan the QR code. You can also type the address and pairing code shown under the QR code.
  3. Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi network. On iPhone, allow Local Network access when asked.

If pairing fails, check that your computer's firewall allows Relay to accept incoming connections, and that your Wi-Fi does not isolate devices from each other (common on school and guest networks).

Safety

Relay's Blind Mode guidance is an aid, not a replacement for a cane, guide dog, or orientation and mobility training. Always use your own judgment around traffic, stairs, and other hazards.

Report an AI response

If Relay ever gives a harmful or offensive AI response, use Report AI response in the mobile app settings, or report it on GitHub.
