A terminal
you build
— the way you need it.

16 themes. 12 prompt styles. 9 pane layouts. All at once, all live. Relay is the first terminal where the entire visual system transforms — not just the colors.

Not just another terminal.

Relay rethinks the terminal concept. Every setting affects the entire system — simultaneously and live.

16 Themes — not just color palettes

Each theme transforms fonts, radius, spacing, glassmorphism, and typography at once. Midnight feels like a different app than Aurora — because it is.

9 Pane Layouts

Split view from two tabs. 2×2 grid, focus mode, 1+2, 3 side by side — configurable per workspace.

12 Prompt Styles

Robbyrussell, Pure, Powerlevel10k, Starship and more — select in settings, preview live.

Shell Variations

Each theme has 2–4 ANSI color variations. Same themes, different shell energy — for every workflow.

Native SwiftUI

No Electron. No web renderer. Pure SwiftUI for macOS — fast, responsive, and battery-friendly.

Workspaces

Multiple projects, each with its own theme, tabs, and layout. Everything persists between sessions.

From 1971 to 1989.

Ten historical systems as complete visual experiences — not skinned themes, but standalone identities with their own fonts, quirks, and atmospheres.
