What is Reliq?

An iPhone app for people who make things. It keeps every idea you save, from Instagram, Pinterest, Photos, Chrome, and voice notes, and resurfaces the right ones when you need them: when you type a vague memory, name a colour, or start a new project.

Why is it private access only?

Resurfacing is being tuned with a small group of working creatives. A small group means every miss gets looked at. When it holds up, the door opens wider.

What is the Reliq?

The Reliq mark, milled in aluminium and numbered on the underside. It is the key: hold it to your phone and your library opens. One Reliq, one person, one library. There are no codes.

How do I get one?

Apply for a Reliq invite: who you are, where you work, what you make. Reliqs go out by post in small numbered runs to the people we can learn the most from.

Does what I save leave my phone?

No. Nothing you keep ever leaves your phone. Resurfacing runs on the device, against your own library only.

Do you use AI?

Yes, and we understand it is a divided and sensitive subject. Reliq uses AI to read what a save actually is: its subject, its colours, its mood, so your library can organise itself and come back to you when you ask for it. That is the whole of it. We are not in the image generation business, and we have no hand in what anyone chooses to bring into their own library.

Where a post carries an AI label in its metadata, Reliq reads it and can mark that save as AI generated in your library, so you always know what you are looking at. That labelling is yours to switch on or off.

Our belief is simple: used well, AI belongs in the background of creative work, not the foreground. It should clear the admin, the filing, the endless searching, so the making stays yours.

What does it cost?

Free until your library outgrows it: three projects, camera roll import, share sheet capture, search, and one reference board. Reliq Pro is $9.99 a month for unlimited projects and boards, voice capture with transcript, search by colour and mood, and the evening digest.

Where can I learn about the mark itself?

The whole system, what the five elements mean, how the mark is drawn, and the Reliq it became, lives in The Reliq system.
