Install

Get ChatRelay on your devices.

#Windows

  1. Download ChatRelay_<version>_x64-setup.exe from the latest release.
  2. Run it. The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": click More info → Run anyway.
  3. You only install once. Later versions arrive by themselves (see Updates).

The app installs per user in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ChatRelay\. It starts in the system tray. Closing the window keeps it running there; use Quit in the tray menu to stop it.

#Android (viewer)

Download ChatRelay_<version>.apk from the same release page and open it on your phone (allow "install unknown apps" for your browser or file manager when asked). The Android app is a read-only viewer of your GitHub storage; a phone has no AI tool history of its own.

#macOS and Linux

A GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/desktop-mac-linux.yml) builds a macOS (Apple silicon) .dmg and a Linux .AppImage and .deb, and can add them, with their update entries, to a release. They are not code-signed (macOS: right-click → Open the first time) and have had little testing.

#Web

The web viewer is a static page you can host yourself (GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify…) or run locally. See Web and phone viewer.
