Relay for macOS

Local terminals, SSH sessions,
and the files you’re working on.

In development. Builds and known issues are listed on GitHub.

Sessions & panes

Local shells and SSH connections, grouped into tabs. Split panes or use floating panels. Remote processes run under relayd on the host.

Files & editor

Edit remote files, inspect diffs and preview images. Files stay on the remote host unless you download a copy.

Codex & Claude

Run the CLIs in terminal panes. Open captured agent and subagent updates in the activity panel. Coverage depends on the integration.

Tools for the current host and project. Open one to see what it supports.

Project detection

Detect project types and JavaScript package managers from manifests and lockfiles.

Suggestions only. The plugin does not install dependencies or run repository scripts.

Project action features and limits

Screenshots use test data from the development build.

Only HPC jobs v0.1.0 has an installable release. The other five packages are still in development.

Setup

Remote connections

Remote features need relayd on the SSH host. Check the app and helper versions together; existing workers may still use an older binary.

Keep another SSH client available when testing with important sessions.
