The problem

Your agents don't sleep. You shouldn't have to either.

An autonomous AI company runs 24/7, planning and executing and spending. Step away from your desk and you go blind. Approvals stall. Costs drift. Work waits on you.

heartbeats keep the lights on.

What you can do

Read-aware. Action-ready.

Relay is a management layer, not a chat assistant. Six surfaces put the whole company in your hand.

Monitor agents

See every agent's status, role, and current run as it happens. Active, running, paused, or error, all at a glance.

Triage issues

Scan the work queue, open any issue, sort signal from noise. Search, filter, comment, update status.

Approve decisions

Clear the approvals that gate consequential work. Autonomy is a privilege you grant, not a default.

Watch spend

Know what every agent costs. Budgets warn at 80% and pause at 100%, so you catch a runaway before it runs.

Manage routines

See scheduled, recurring work and when it next fires. Run a routine on demand from anywhere.

Stay in control

Pause an agent, deny a deploy, set the north star. The board keeps the final say, from your phone.

How it works

Three steps to a company in your pocket.

Step 1 — Deploy

Deploy Paperclip to your server.

One command spins up your AI company on infrastructure you own. No shadow backend, no middleman.

The vocabulary

Seven words run the whole company.

Agent

An AI employee. Plans and executes work in heartbeats, under a manager and a budget.

runs / heartbeat

Heartbeat

A single execution window: wake, check the inbox, do work, stop. Heartbeats keep the lights on.

1 run each

Run

A recorded heartbeat: timestamp, status, and the full transcript of what happened. Your audit trail.

Approval

A governance gate you control. Pauses a consequential action until the board signs off.

Budget

A monthly cap, enforced automatically. Warns at 80%, pauses scope at 100%.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is Paperclip Relay?

Paperclip Relay is a mobile command bridge for self-hosted Paperclip AI. The iOS app lets a board user monitor agents, clear approvals, track spend, and manage routines straight from a phone, talking directly to their own Paperclip server.

Does Paperclip Relay have its own backend?

No. Relay stores nothing on a server of its own. Every screen reads and writes through your Paperclip server's documented /api, using your board-user permissions.

Is my data private?

Yes. Your company data flows only between your device and your server. Relay has no analytics, ads, or third-party tracking. Your access token is stored in the iOS Keychain and the app can be locked with Face ID. Read the full privacy policy.

How much does Paperclip Relay cost?

Paperclip Relay is a paid app with an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly, handled by Apple.

An iPhone and access to a running Paperclip AI server, your own or your organisation's. You sign in as a board user with a pairing code.
