Relay roadmap
Here's what we're working on. For feature requests or more information, join the project on Discord.
Build Obsidian plugins that add collaborative experiences on top of Relay, such as Relay Comments
Changes made directly to files on disk are picked up and merged automatically
Shared folders stay up to date without notes open and recover from server restarts and network blips
Real-time multiplayer support for Obsidian’s core Canvas plugin, enabled by default
Bases sync across devices by default (requires storage)
Fixed race conditions in document sync and resolved empty note bugs
Helpful prompts when no shared folders are available and streamlined folder download during setup
Updated UI and merge conflict interface for Obsidian Mobile 1.11.0
Profile photos of collaborators currently viewing the same document
Real-time multiplayer support for the community Kanban plugin
Support for Microsoft authentication and other login options
Self-hosting capabilities for enterprises and privacy-focused teams
Support for non-.md files (pdf, jpeg, etc.)
Improved startup reliability and fixed crashes on Android
Force logout if authentication token is out of date
