What is relay

Geolocation Messaging

Relay is a real-time, location and broadcast based messaging system. Meet people nearby, know what's happening around you, share what's going on in real time.

The idea

Mimic human interaction

Every messaging app requires you to create an account, connect with someone before you can talk to them.

But real-life human connection doesn't work that way. You walk into a coffee shop, meet someone and start talking. It's spontaneous and present. Relay brings that back.

👤 Meet people around 👂 Hear something 📣 Say something
How it works

Just walk in and talk

Open Relay and you're instantly present. You show up in the map, you receive messages from people nearby. Close the app, you walk out. No account needed, your device is like an individual to Relay.

Your profile stores in your local device, there is no user registry in Relay server. Relay does not store user messages, so no annoying notifications as well.

The propagation mechanic

Word of mouth

In real life, interesting things spread naturally through word of mouth not because of an algorithm but because people choose to share it.

Relay works the same way. When you receive a message, you can tap relay. You re-broadcast to people within your range. The message hops and propagates geographically outward.

No feed manipulation or algorithm. Just the oldest information network in human history — people talking to people nearby.
