Social media wasn't built for your friends. It was built for strangers, algorithms, and ads. Relay is different.
Relay is the social app designed around the people you actually know. No infinite feeds. No follower counts. No ads. Just your real friends, and the tools to see them more in person.
YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR WAY
Instead of a feed, see all your friends at once on your Relay Web — a visual map of your closest relationships. Organize friends into tiers (Super Friends, Friends, Pals) and choose between a Hexagon grid or a Tethered radial view. Your social circle, at a glance.
PLAN REAL MEETUPS
Create events, invite friends, and track RSVPs with built-in event planning. A full calendar shows everything your friend group has coming up. Relay is designed to get you off your phone and into the same room as the people you care about.
SHARE WITH MUTUAL CONSENT
Relay's Mutual Posting works unlike anything else. When you share a photo or thought, it only goes live when both you and your friend accept. If either person declines, it disappears. No pressure. No surprises. Sharing is always a two-way street.
MESSAGE YOUR PEOPLE
Direct messages, group chats, and event chats that keep conversations where they belong. No clutter. No strangers. Just the people in your life.
DAILY POLL
A new question drops every day for everyone on Relay. Answer first, then see how your friends voted. A simple spark for real conversations.
PERSONALITY TEST
Take the OCEAN personality assessment and compare your traits with friends. Discover what makes your friendships click — and where you complement each other.
NO ADS. NO ALGORITHMS. NO TRICKS.
Relay will never show you ads. We don't use algorithms to keep you scrolling. We measure success by whether you saw your friends in person — not how long you stared at a screen.
The best social app is the one you open with purpose, get what you need, and close satisfied.
Download Relay and start spending less time scrolling and more time together.
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Scrolling up in a chat with a big backlog now takes you to the messages you missed, instead of paging straight past them
• The daily poll's Everyone card is right the moment you vote, and Past questions now names the month
• Your chats list stays in step, never goes backwards, and no longer stalls on a slow connection or a message that failed to send
• Replying from a notification no longer causes trouble the next time you open the chat
• Bug fixes and stability improvements
