An independent software lab building tools for keeping personal logs and photos close at hand, then passing selected material to a destination the user chooses.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

RelayLab frames its products as local-first tools rather than destination services: records and photos begin on the user's device, with the user choosing what to pass elsewhere. LogRelay is identified as a sideload release for daily reflection, while PhotoRelay remains a prototype centered on grouped galleries. The homepage also says its screens use anonymized demo metadata and provides separate privacy and support email addresses, giving the small lab a visible operational boundary even though installation details are not shown.
