Relic

# A place for
things with
_no place._

Everything you copy is saved, and it shows up instantly on your other devices. Find anything again simply by describing it.

01 · Capture

## Copying is
the _save button._

Relic is a paperweight for your computer. Every copy is held down the moment you make it, and you can drop a file or type a note in too.

02 · Recall

## Describe it.
_It's back._

Search by word, by meaning, or by day. Type last tuesday and it becomes a date filter.

03 · Everywhere

## One vault.
_Every device._

Copy on your laptop, paste on your phone. Your vault stays in step across all of them.

WindowsmacOSLinuxAndroidiPhone

04 · Private

## Locked before
it _leaves._

Your vault is locked with a key only you hold. The server stores files it cannot read.

05 · Open

## Open source.
_Yours to run._

Every line is public on GitHub. Use our sync service, or run the server yourself.

In action

## Copy it. Name it. _Summon it anywhere._

01 · CAPTURE

## Capture is automatic. _Recall is instant._

Relic is a clipboard manager. It keeps everything you copy and syncs it between your computers and phones.

A.

### A memory that doesn't forget

Every copy is captured the instant you make it: links, addresses, codes, screenshots, the sentence you'll want again next week. No buttons, no discipline required.

B.

### Find it in a second

Search by word, by meaning, or by the day it happened, and whatever you copied surfaces at once. No more retracing your steps.

C.

### Kept for good

Your history stays for as long as you want it. Whatever you copied is still there next year, until the day you decide to clear it.

You never have to save a thing. The moment you copy, it's already kept, and only you can ever read it. Relic works quietly in the background and never changes what you're about to paste. That automatic capture is a computer thing: on Windows, Mac and Linux. On a phone you send things to Relic yourself, from the share sheet, a Quick Settings tile on Android or a Shortcut on iPhone.

02 · RECALL

## Describe it the way _you remember it._

Ask like you'd ask a friend. Relic searches by meaning, turns plain phrases into real date filters, reads the text inside your screenshots and forgives your typos. Pick one to watch it run.

Find it by describing it

Those words never appear in what you copied.

Understands dates

Last tuesday, in march, a while ago: plain phrases become real date filters.

Reads your screenshots

The text and objects inside an image are searchable, so a screenshot comes back like a note.

Tags as it goes

Links, codes, addresses and more get labels on their own. Replace any guess with your own, or never touch them.

RUNS ENTIRELY ON YOUR DEVICE · NO CLOUD AI, EVER

03 · MID-KEYSTROKE

## Your whole vault, _right at your cursor._

Press Ctrl Shift Space while you're typing and a small picker opens right where your cursor is. A couple of letters finds the thing, Enter pastes it into the field, and you never left the page.

04 · EVERYWHERE

## A vault of everything, _on every device._

Every link, code, address, screenshot and note you might want again, kept and instantly findable, waiting on all your devices. A code you copy on your phone is a keystroke away on your laptop. Stop emailing yourself links and texting yourself codes.

05 · A DAY WITH RELIC

## Copied without thinking. _Found without looking._

09:12Monday, at your desk

You need the staging API key. Again.

Copied once in March, kept masked in your vault. Type "staging" and it is pasted, no hunting through docs.

14:30Afternoon, mid-meeting

Someone asks for the onboarding doc link.

The 90-character URL you have pasted twenty times. Out of the picker before they finish asking.

21:04Back home

The paint color, the furnace filter size, the sitter's address.

Saved months ago, right there the second you reach for them.

THE LITTLE THINGS

## Small things that _add up._

Quick-paste 1 to 5

Paste a recent item straight in, even one from another device.

Drag it out

Drag any row into another app, or drop files in to save.

Clip reminders

Put a nudge on an item and it comes back later.

Auto-clear secrets

The clipboard wipes a copied secret 30 seconds later.

Date search

Type "last week" or "June 20" to jump back in time.

Search operators

tag:, kind:, is:kept, and a built-in cheatsheet.

Combine & paste

Merge several items into a single paste.

Offline QR share

Hand short text to a nearby device. Nothing leaves.

Encrypted backups

Sealed weekly backups you point at any cloud drive.

A real CLI

Read and search your vault from the terminal.

06 · END-TO-END ENCRYPTED

## Private because _we can't read it._

Every relic is encrypted end-to-end with a key derived on your device that never leaves it. Relic stores only the encrypted form, so your history stays unreadable to everyone else: an intruder, law enforcement, even Relic.

Business tax ID (EIN)HIDDEN

••-•••••••

This looks private, so Relic keeps it hidden until you tap to show it.

i.Authenticated end-to-end encryption with a key only you hold, the kind that guards password managers.

ii.Relic ignores anything an app flags as sensitive, like your password manager, so it never lands in your history.

iii.Passwords, keys and codes are recognized and kept masked until you choose to reveal them.

iv.Only you can unlock Relic, not even us. We help you save a one-time recovery key so it is always in your hands.

v.Copy a password or key and Relic clears it from your clipboard 30 seconds later, so it does not linger.

## Don't take _our word for it._

“Private” is easy to claim and hard to prove. So we published all of it: the apps, the sync server, the encryption that holds your key, even the on-device AI pipeline. One public repo. Read any line of it, build it yourself, or run the whole thing on your own box.
