Relais now warns you before a limit, picks up what a switch stopped, and updates itself.

New

  • Alerts before the limit. A notification at 85% and 95% names the account with the most room, and its button opens the confirmation. Another tells you when a paused account is back.
  • Forecast. At the current pace, the panel says when the account in use reaches its limit.
  • Resume after a switch. The sessions a switch stopped are listed, one click from running again.
  • Switch when it's done. With sessions running, Relais can wait, tell you when they finish, and ask again.
  • Where the week went. See which projects consumed the most, in the conversations tab or with relais projects.
  • One account per folder. relais folder set work ~/Projects/client makes Claude Code always start there on that account.
  • A widget and a shortcut. Your limits on the desktop, in three sizes (macOS 14 or later), and Control-Option-R to open the panel from anywhere.
  • Updates in one click. From this version on, Relais tells you when a new version is out and installs it when you say so.
  • Safer switches. The workspace is checked before anything moves, what Relais does not recognize is refused, and a newer major version of Claude Desktop is said out loud. Conversations a switch set aside come back from the settings.
  • Intel Macs. The download now runs on Apple Silicon and Intel.

Install

Download the DMG below, or use Homebrew:

brew install --cask bvisible/tap/relais

Then follow the setup guide. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple. To check your download:

shasum -a 256 -c Relais-0.2.0-universal.dmg.sha256

Version 0.1.0 cannot update itself: install this one by hand, once.

Good to know

  • A real switch was last checked on Claude Desktop 3.6556. Relais warns you on newer major versions: please tell us how it goes.
  • Tested on macOS 26 and 27 on Apple Silicon. On Intel, the command and the test suite run in CI; the app itself has not been tried on a real Intel Mac.
  • The first alert asks macOS for permission to show notifications.
