RELAY
Nothing is ever saved.
A retro chat built like a 1990s desktop. Every room keeps only its last 40 messages — everything older dissolves, for good.
Nothing is ever saved.
A retro chat built like a 1990s desktop. Every room keeps only its last 40 messages — everything older dissolves, for good.
Rooms remember the last 40 lines. This one remembers seven — just enough to watch it forget in real time.
“this thread is a campfire, not a filing cabinet.”
It doesn't look like a chat app because it isn't one. It's a tiny operating system, and chat is just one of the programs.
Boot into a teal desktop with icons, a taskbar and a recycle bin. Programs open in draggable windows. Drag a file to the trash and it's gone — for real.
DESKTOP
1-bit Macintosh, DOS Prompt, Amber CRT, Pocket LCD, Teletext, Luna Blue… each theme re-tints and re-fonts the entire system — and the sounds change with the decade.
17 THEMES
Somewhere on the desktop is a hidden first-person shooter. Demons, a shotgun, a health face that winces when you're hit. We're not going to tell you where it is.
HIDDEN
Dial into a tiny fake 1990s internet: a hand-sorted portal, guestbooks, a webring, daily fortunes — and a banner that absolutely will not pay you $20.
14.4 kbps
MINES, SKI, SOL and BRICKS — four mini-games in a folder that proudly reports 0 bytes free. SKI just keeps getting faster until you don't.
4 GAMES
Private messages dissolve the same way rooms do. Ring someone's actual phone with a single bell. As pix3l puts it: “no logs, no masters.”
🔔 RINGRELAY is free. The two default themes and every wallpaper pack cost nothing.
Extra themes, more screensavers and BOOM.EXE are a single one-time unlock. No ads. No subscriptions. No account to create.
Sign in with Apple, chat, forget, close the lid. We keep no logs of what you say — the app forgets on purpose, and so do we.
