My wife and I were trading nightshifts during the newborn period and kept losing
track of who'd just been on, how long they'd slept, and when the next shift started.
We tried Notes, a shared spreadsheet, and one of those baby-tracker apps. Nothing
fit. So I built Relay during nap windows.

SwiftUI, SwiftData, no backend. Single-player v1 on my phone; a CloudKit-shared
v2 for both of us is next. Submitted to the App Store in 2026.
