Help with any computer, without being there.
See the screen, take over the mouse and keyboard, move files or restart it, from your browser or your phone. Works with Windows, Mac and Linux.
You install a small ORelay app on each computer. It checks in with ORelay, and ORelay connects you to it. Nothing on the computer is opened up to the internet, so there’s no router or firewall to set up.
Remote access
Work on it like you’re sitting in front of it.
- See the screen
- Watch what’s happening live. When you’re ready to help, take the mouse and keyboard. That’s always a separate step, so you never take control by accident.
- Command window
- Open bash, PowerShell or cmd in your browser and run a fix. No SSH or RDP port to open.
- Quick commands
- Run one command on any computer, or a quick action on many at once, and read the result where you are.
- Move files
- Send a file to the computer or pull one off it, over the same encrypted connection.
- Restart or shut down
- Restart, shut down, sleep or lock it, now or up to an hour later. A Windows PC stays reachable at its sign-in screen, so a restart won’t lock you out.
- On your phone
- The Android and iPhone apps do this too: the screen, control, commands, files and power.
Share one computer
Help a friend, a family member or a client.
Someone needs a hand with their PC or Mac? They open ORelay and give you an eight-character code. You get that one computer and nothing else, on the web or on your phone, until access is removed. The code expires, and an administrator of that computer can turn off anything they don’t want you to do.
Know when something’s wrong
- Health at a glance
- See whether a computer is busy, low on memory or running out of disk space, as it happens.
- Alerts
- Set a limit, like a disk over 90% full or a computer that stops checking in, and get a message by email, webhook, ntfy or a phone notification.
- Scheduled tasks
- Run maintenance jobs on a timer. Each one runs on the computer and reports back.
- Software inventory
- See what’s installed on each computer. Search its list and export it.
Safe by design
No open doors
Each computer reaches out to ORelay over an encrypted connection (mutual TLS 1.3). No open port, no port forwarding, no VPN.
The person at the computer is in charge
An administrator there can turn off screen viewing, control, commands, files or power, or all remote access at once.
A clear record
Sessions, commands, file transfers and power actions are logged. What you type during a session is not.
ORelay is made by ORelay Studios LLC, a small company in Tucson, Arizona. How we keep it secure.
