Sovereign chatfor institutions.
Relay is encrypted messaging, calls and file sharing, hosted in Algeria — on our infrastructure or on your own servers. Your staff get an app they'll actually use, and nobody outside the conversation can read a word of it.
A Complete Platform, With Add-Ons
Secure messaging, sovereign infrastructure and enterprise-grade controls in one platform, extended with the rest of the BortoCall family as you need it.
End-to-end encryption guarantees your privacy
Messages, voice notes and files are encrypted end to end, in group channels as well as one to one.

Behind Relay
Our Mission
Relay is built in Algiers by BortoCall, for institutions that need to keep their data at home and want a tool their staff will actually use. We build the engine, the encryption, the console and the apps ourselves.
Our Belief
Privacy is a right, not a privilege. Every message, voice note and file is encrypted so only the people in the conversation can open it — including on the servers that carry it, wherever those stand.
Our Commitment
You choose where Relay runs — our infrastructure in Algeria, or your own. Either way our business is the software, not your messages and not anything derived from them.
Our Trusted Network
We work with trusted organizations and technology partners to deliver secure and reliable communication solutions.
Upgrade to Sovereign Security
Tell us how your organization communicates today and what you're not allowed to do with that data. We'll deploy a trial your team can actually use.
