Shut down August 2026

What it is

Human-in-the-loop automation tool known for clean UX and approval steps mid-workflow. The service is winding down: new signups stopped 16 July 2026, free accounts lost access after 15 August 2026, and paying customers keep access only through 14 September 2026.

Why it earns a slot

Listed so you do not waste an evening evaluating it. If you already have Relay workflows, export them as JSON and CSV now; n8n or Make are the closest rebuild targets for its approval-step pattern.

Know before you commit

Fully sunsetting. Export everything before 14 September 2026, after which workflows stop running. Any tutorial recommending Relay.app is now stale.
