Relay app icon
Coming soon for iPhone, iPad and Mac

Your computers.
Anywhere.

Relay puts the screen, keyboard, mouse and power button of every computer behind your GL.iNet KVM in your pocket. From the couch, the office, or the other side of the world.

Works with GL.iNet Comet KVMs over your home network, VPN or Cloudflare Tunnel.

Everything a KVM can do

Like sitting in front of it.

Low-latency video with audio, a real keyboard and mouse, and the power button, from a native app built for each of your devices.

Crisp, live video

WebRTC on your network for the lowest latency, H.264 over WebSocket through tunnels. Pinch to zoom, actual pixels, picture in picture.

Keyboard and mouse

Hardware keyboards pass straight through, ⌘ becomes Ctrl on PCs, and touch, trackpad and pointer-lock modes fit every device.

Power, even when it's off

Press power or reset through the ATX board, wake it with Wake-on-LAN, or tap the button with a Fingerbot.

Virtual media

Upload an ISO from Files, or have the KVM download it from a link, then boot the computer from it. Reinstall an OS from your phone.

Shortcuts and macros

Ctrl-Alt-Delete, copy and paste, and the right shortcuts for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Record your own multi-step macros.

Alerts that matter

Get a notification when a KVM stops responding, a computer loses its signal, or a crash or error appears on screen.

Speaks Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS.

Relay recognizes the operating system on the screen and shows the shortcuts that work there, so copy and paste just works.

Relay connecting to a KVM
Connects anywhere

Home network, VPN or tunnel.

Add a KVM by its address, or let Relay find it on your network. Relay picks the fastest way to reach it, and reconnects on its own when your connection drops.

  • Secure by default. Self-signed certificates are pinned on first connection, and passwords live in your Keychain.
  • Two-factor ready. Authenticator codes and approve-on-device sign-in are supported.
  • Everywhere you are. iPhone, iPad and Mac, with your KVMs and macros synced through iCloud.
Privacy

Your screens stay yours.

Relay connects straight from your device to your KVMs. No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no servers in between. Screen reading and problem spotting happen on your device.

FAQ

Good questions.

Which KVMs does Relay work with?

GL.iNet Comet KVMs running GL.iNet's KVM firmware. Relay talks to the KVM directly, the same way its web interface does.

Do I need to install anything on my computers?

No. The KVM connects to the computer's HDMI and USB ports, so Relay works with any computer, even in the BIOS or when the operating system won't start.

Can I use it away from home?

Yes. Connect over a VPN such as Tailscale or WireGuard, or through a Cloudflare Tunnel or other HTTPS address you've set up for the KVM.

Is Relay made by GL.iNet?

No. Relay is an independent app and isn't affiliated with GL.iNet.

When can I get it?

Relay is in testing now and coming soon to the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
