Notes from the workbench

Four things we won't ship without.

01 — Zero install

No driver. No app. No carrier portal. macOS sees Relay as ethernet and routes traffic the same way it routes a wired connection.

02 — Bus-powered

No battery to swell. No cable dangling off the side. Relay runs entirely on what USB-C supplies — under 4.5 W at peak.

03 — Carrier-agnostic

Any nano-SIM, any country. Never locked, never paired to a Relay account. The relationship is between you and your carrier.

04 — Mac first

Designed for macOS as a first-class target, not ported from a Windows dongle. Matched to MacBook finishes. Built around the way real Macs actually use USB-C.

§ 01 — The problem

Every laptop has 5G.
Except MacBook.

01
Phone hotspot drains 15% battery per hour.

Every hour you tether, your phone dies faster. You started the meeting at 78% and ended at 31%.

02
Hotspot drops every time a call comes in.

iOS personal hotspot was never built as a primary uplink. One ring and your video call freezes.

03
Public Wi-Fi is insecure and unreliable.

Captive portals, rate limits, MITM risk, and a different login captcha at every café you walk into.

0 million
MacBooks.

Zero of them have built-in cellular. Apple hasn't shipped a cellular Mac since the 2008 PowerBook G4. The category has been frozen for sixteen years. Until now.

§ 02 — The solution

Plug in.
You're online.

Relay is a $199 USB-C card. macOS detects it as ethernet — built-in since Catalina. No app. No driver. No hotspot. Plug in, 3 seconds, 5G.
