Install Relay

Start with the browser store. Sync from the extension.

Relay installs through the Chrome Web Store for browser-managed updates. After install, create an encrypted vault in the extension and add each supported Chromium browser you want to keep current.

Use the browser store listing, pin Relay to the toolbar, then open the popup to create or join your vault.

Open Chrome Web Store

Choose a username and password, save the private Recovery Kit using a trusted app or location, and add a passkey if your device supports Relay's secure passkey flow. Relay encrypts bookmark contents before anything reaches the server, then opens the sync dashboard.

First-run checklist

Preview before syncing

Use Preview to see whether this browser is missing bookmarks from the encrypted vault before applying changes.

Tidy locally

Recognize common tracking and mobile URL copies, organize loose bookmarks into local categories, and create an Undo point first.

Add passkey login

Relay attaches each passkey to your username so compatible passkey providers can unlock the vault across supported browsers. Inline passkeys require Chromium 122 or newer; password sign-in and the Recovery Kit remain available when passkeys are unsupported.

Use profiles and capsules

Create named profiles for work, personal, research, or clients. Freeze reusable Context Capsules without changing the active profile.

Keep a private recovery copy

Share, copy, or download the Recovery Kit using an app or location you trust. Relay support will never ask for it.

Supported setup

Chromium browsers

Relay is built for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, and other Chromium-based browsers that support the extension APIs Relay needs.

No email account

Your username is both the account identity and sharing handle. A passkey is the normal login; the Recovery Kit is the fallback.

Store-managed updates

The Chrome Web Store is the normal distribution path, so updates arrive through the browser platform.

Need help?

If install fails, include your browser name, version, Relay version if visible, and the exact store or extension error.

Important: Relay cannot reset your vault password. Save the Recovery Kit somewhere safe before relying on the vault across browsers.
