Relay on Windows and Mac: your details from one shortcut

Most of the forms that eat your week aren't on your phone. Supplier onboarding, the bank's KYC portal, a tenancy renewal, the PRO's email asking for a passport number again. You're at your desk, the form is open, and the details are in a photo on your phone.

Relay has apps for Windows and Mac. There's no keyboard to add on a computer. Relay sits in your tray or menu bar and works from one shortcut, in the messaging apps, email and forms you already use.

On Windows: Ctrl + Shift + V

1. Click into the field.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + V. Relay's picker opens straight into search.
3. Type a few letters (“IBAN”, “passport”) or pick the detail, and press Enter. It's typed into the field you were in.

Filling a long form? Use sequence paste. Press Ctrl + Shift + V, highlight a detail and press the 3 key to add it to the sequence. Repeat for each field in form order, then press Esc. Now each Ctrl + Shift + V types the next field, in order.

Get Relay for Windows from the Microsoft Store. It installs from the Store, so there's no SmartScreen warning, and the Store keeps it up to date. Your vault unlocks with your vault password.

On Mac: ⇧⌘V

1. Click into the field.
2. Press ⇧⌘V, type to search, then press Enter. Relay copies the detail.
3. Paste it with ⌘V.

On Mac the shortcut handles text and locations; documents aren't supported there yet. Download the Apple silicon build, or the Intel build for an older Mac (Apple menu → About This Mac shows your chip). Mac downloads are signed and notarized by Apple, so they open without warnings. Relay for Mac has an optional Relay passcode screen lock.

What to save first

• Passport number and expiry
• Emirates ID number
• IBAN (23 characters you never want to retype)
• Trade licence number
• Home and office address, saved as a location
• The wording you send each week, like your bank details sign-off

Also on your computer

• Clipboard history. Search or pin anything you've copied. Your history is encrypted on your PC or Mac. On Windows, passwords are masked automatically.
• Back up the whole vault. On Windows and Mac, Settings → Export vault (.pcv) writes an encrypted file of your whole vault that you control. Import it on another device with its password.
• Calendar availability. On Mac, Relay can answer “when are you free?” from the calendars you connect (Google and Outlook). Windows calendar availability is coming in the next Microsoft Store update.

How private is it?

Your vault is encrypted on your computer, and we can't read it. On Windows it unlocks with your vault password. On Mac the vault is encrypted with a key kept in a file only your Mac user account can open, and the Mac app doesn't use Touch ID. The privacy page explains every detail.

Relay is not a password manager, so keep using your password manager for passwords. Relay is for everything else people ask you for.

Set it up

1. Get Relay for Windows from the Microsoft Store, or download Relay for Mac.
2. Add your first details. On Windows, click Vault in the sidebar, then ＋ Add. On Mac, setup starts on your iPhone; follow the steps shown on your Mac. (Relay for Mac can't be set up from an Android phone yet.)
3. Click into a form and press the shortcut.

See the how-to guides for each step, and pricing for plans. It's free to install on Windows and Mac.
