Getting started
How do I sign in?
Sign in with your Google account, or on iPhone with your Apple account as well. Your Relate account is created automatically the first time you sign in.
How do I get my contacts into Relate?
You can bring in contacts from your phone's address book and choose who comes along. Or add new people directly in Relate. Anyone already there is skipped during import.
What's the best way to start?
Tell Relate about the five people who matter most to you. It only takes a few minutes. You can start the guided setup at any time under Settings → "Your five".
Which languages does Relate support?
German and English. The app follows your device language.
Notes and suggestions
How do I capture something?
Tap the round button in the middle of the app and say or type what came up. Relate recognizes who it's about and turns it into suggestions.
Can I send voice messages from WhatsApp to Relate?
Yes. Share the voice message from WhatsApp or another app and choose Relate. When sharing, Relate only accepts voice messages and audio files.
Is everything the AI recognizes saved?
No. Only what you confirm is saved. Suggestions that don't fit can simply be discarded.
My note is waiting and no suggestions appear. What can I do?
Processing runs in the background and usually takes only a moment. If it takes longer, check the following:
- Internet connection: your device has to be online for processing.
- Allowance: under Settings → "Plan & usage" you can see how much is left. If your monthly allowance is used up, new notes wait until it renews.
- AI consent: without it, Relate doesn't process anything. You'll find it under Settings → "Privacy".
Reminders and notifications
I'm not getting notifications. Why?
First check that notifications for Relate are allowed in your device settings. In the app, choose what you'd like to receive under Settings → "Notifications". Even without notifications, you'll find everything behind the bell on the overview.
Can I change the time of the daily overview?
Yes, under Settings → "Notifications". The daily overview tells you about birthdays and reminders that are due.
How do I set how often I want to get in touch with someone?
Open the person's profile and choose "Manage". Under "Check-in rhythm", set your goal, from weekly to quarterly. When it's time again, the overview shows you.
How does Relate match messages to my style?
In a person's profile, you can store a nickname, greeting and tone under "Style". Relate takes them into account in its message drafts.
Subscription and pricing
How much does Relate cost?
Try Relate free for 14 days, no payment details needed. After that, Relate Pro costs €4.99 per month or €39.99 per year. Your data stays even without a subscription.
How do I cancel or change my subscription?
You buy Relate Pro through Apple's App Store or Google Play. Cancelling and switching between monthly and yearly therefore happens in your store:
- iPhone: in Relate under Settings → "Manage subscription", or in iOS Settings → your name → "Subscriptions"
- Android: in Google Play → Profile → "Payments & subscriptions" → "Subscriptions"
After cancelling, Pro stays active until the end of the paid period.
How do I get a refund?
The seller is Apple or Google, so withdrawals and refunds are handled by the respective store:
- App Store: at reportaproblem.apple.com, signed in with your Apple ID
- Google Play: in your order history at play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory
I have a new phone. What happens to my subscription and data?
Sign in with the same account as before and your data will be back. If your subscription isn't recognized right away, tap "Restore purchases" on the plans page.
How does inviting friends work?
With your personal link, friends try Relate for 30 days instead of 14. If someone subscribes to Pro, we give you the same time for free: one month for a monthly plan, one year for a yearly plan.
Data and privacy
Who receives my notes?
Content goes to the AI providers Anthropic and Google only with your explicit consent. They don't train models on it. The details are in the privacy policy.
How do I withdraw my AI consent?
Under Settings → "Privacy". Relate then no longer passes content to AI providers. Relate can't be used without consent: the app stays locked until you agree again. Your data is kept.
How do I export my data?
Under Settings → "Your data" → "Export all data". You'll get a JSON file with everything you've recorded in Relate.
How do I delete my account?
In the app under Settings → "Delete account". This permanently deletes your account and all data you've recorded in Relate.
An active subscription doesn't end automatically. Please also cancel it in your store.
