# Overview

ChatRelay keeps your AI coding chats on all your devices and carries a project's context from one AI tool to the next. Your history goes to storage you own: a folder or a private GitHub repository. There is no ChatRelay server.

## What you can do

- **Sync between devices.** Start on your desktop and pick up on your laptop, with every file path changed to the new machine. See [Sync between devices](#sync).
- **Search everything.** Find any prompt or answer in every project and every tool, in under a second. See [Search and usage](#search-every-conversation).
- **Continue in another tool.** Summarize a project into a `HANDOFF.md`, or give the next tool the context it needs. See [Summaries and handoff](#summaries-and-continue-in-another-tool).
- **Read anywhere.** Open your chats in the web viewer or the Android app. See [Web and phone viewer](#web-and-phone-viewer).
- **Stay safe.** Backups before every write, a dry run before every download, and optional end-to-end encryption. See [Security](#safety-and-privacy).

## Works with your AI tools
