Android
meets Mac.
The Relay pairs your Android phone with your Mac. Calls, codes, notifications, your clipboard and files move between them over your own Wi-Fi.
One subscription through Google Play covers your phone and your Mac.
- No account
- Nothing on our servers
- End-to-end encrypted
Your phone,
on your Mac.
Seven things your Android does, now right where you work.
Codes land
where you type.
A one-time code hits your phone, shows up on your Mac and is already on your clipboard. One ⌘V and you’re in.
It never leaves
your Wi-Fi.
Your phone and your Mac talk to each other directly. We can’t see your data because it never reaches us.
Wi-Fi, with Bluetooth as a fallback. Nothing is routed through our servers.
The link between your devices is encrypted, so it stays private even on shared Wi-Fi.
No sign-up and no password. There is nothing about you on our side to leak.
How it
stacks up.
Most Android-to-Mac tools are Windows-only, abandoned, or send your data through the cloud.
