You already saved it. Relic makes sure you never lose it. Relic is a private vault for the things you will want again. Links, addresses, codes, screenshots, the sentence you copied last Tuesday. Put it in Relic once and it stays, on your iPhone, your iPad, and your computer. SAVE IT IN A TAP Share to Relic from anywhere: Safari, Photos, Files, Mail, any app with a share sheet. Or point the Action Button, a Back Tap, or a Shortcut at Relic and it grabs whatever is on your clipboard right then. FIND IT IN A SECOND Search runs on your own device, over your own history, so it is instant and it works with no connection at all. Search by word, by tag, or by the day it happened. KEEP WHAT MATTERS Promote anything to your vault and it stays for as long as you want it. Add a title, your own tags, and a note. Everything you add is searchable too. IN STEP EVERYWHERE Save something on your iPhone and it is waiting on your iPad within seconds. Link a new device by scanning a QR code, see everything that is connected, and sign any of it out remotely. MADE FOR IPAD Two panes on a large screen: your history on the left, what you are reading on the right. Split View, Stage Manager, rotation, and a hardware keyboard all behave the way you expect. PRIVATE BECAUSE WE CANNOT READ IT Everything is encrypted on your device before it leaves, with XChaCha20-Poly1305 under a key derived from your passphrase with Argon2id. We store the encrypted form and a wrapped key we cannot open. No ads. No trackers. No plaintext on our servers. No cloud AI. The math enforces all of it, whether you trust us or not. DO NOT TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT The encryption library that holds your key is open source (Apache-2.0) and the entire sync server is open source (AGPL-3.0). Read the code, or run the server yourself on hardware you control. Questions: support@relic.space Privacy policy: https://relic.space/legal/privacy
