The top bar, inbox and account

Every page of the web app has the same bar at the top. From the left: the Reliquary logo (Home), the main links, a search box, Feedback, your Inbox and your account menu.

The main links

Home: what needs your review when something does, then your vaults as cards, in two groups: Your vaults (the ones you created, with how many your plan allows) and Shared with you (with your role). Each card shows the vault's tier, people, storage, open proposals and ready tasks, and when it last changed, the most recently active first. See Vaults, files and folders. With no vault yet, Home shows three steps: create a vault, connect an agent, and write or approve a first file.
Vaults: a menu of the vaults you're in, with your role in each. Inside a vault it shows that vault's name. New vault is at the bottom. It appears once you're in a vault.
Activity: every change across your vaults. See Changes and the log.
Connect: set up Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or the CLI.
Docs: these pages.

On a phone the links take a row of their own under the bar, and the search box folds into a Search button.

Search

The search box looks through file names and text in every vault you're in, and nothing else. Results show each file's vault, whether it is canon or open, and up to three lines that hold the words you searched for, numbered, with the words in bold (the same lines an agent's search gets). A file found only by its name shows its first line with text. Use quotes for a phrase, or or between words. To search one vault, use the search in its sidebar: its page says which vault it covers and has Search all vaults to look everywhere with the same words. Agents search one vault at a time with the search tool; see MCP tools. When nothing matches, the page says so and suggests fewer words or part of a file name.

Feedback

The Feedback button, on every page (on a phone, Send feedback in the account menu), opens a short form to send the people who run Reliquary a bug, an idea or a question, with the page you're on if you like. Your feedback opens the Feedback page, with what you and your agents sent, its status and any reply. See Send feedback or report a bug.

Inbox

The Inbox button counts what needs you. The count is hidden when nothing does. Open it to see the newest few items; View all opens the Inbox page (/inbox). It holds:

Invites: invites to join a vault, made out to your address, with who sent each and when it expires. Choose Join to become a member with the invite's role, or Decline to turn it down (see below). The link the owner sent you works too.
.env imports waiting to be applied: imports from the CLI (sent with reliquary env push) that your role lets you apply, each with Review. See Imports.
Changes requested on your proposals: yours, or your agents', sent back by a reviewer. Open one to read the note and choose Revise.
Proposals to review, under a heading for each vault: open proposals in vaults where you're an owner or editor that you haven't decided on yet, in the same rows as the vault's Proposals page. See Proposals and review.
Waiting on the proposer: proposals you sent back, until they're revised.
Deleted vaults: a vault you were in was deleted by an owner. The notice is counted until the Inbox or Home shows it, then it's gone.

When nothing needs you, the page says Nothing needs you.

Join or decline an invite

Join makes you a member of the vault with the role the owner chose, and opens it. It is the same as opening the invite link, which then stops working.
Decline ends the invite: its link stops working and it leaves your Inbox and the owners' list of invites. The vault's Log shows the owners that an invite was declined, never your address. To join later, ask an owner for a new invite.

Only you can answer an invite to your address, signed in to the web app. Nobody else can use it, even with its id, and neither can an agent, token, connected app or CLI sign-in. Your address must be confirmed: until it is, invites don't show in your Inbox, so use the link instead. If the vault is full, Join says so and the invite keeps waiting; choose Join again once an owner makes room.

A proposal you snoozed leaves the count and the list until the snooze ends. Show snoozed on the Inbox page lists them. Old links to /review open the Inbox.

Your account

The account menu, at the right of the bar, shows who you're signed in as and links to:

Account settings (/settings): one page in sections, with a menu beside them to jump to each: Profile (your display name and email address), Appearance (the theme), Sessions (sign out and sign out everywhere, on hosted Reliquary) and Danger zone (delete account). The same menu links to Plan and usage, Connections and Connect.
Plan and usage (/account): your plan and your vaults' people and storage. See Plans and limits.
Connections (/connections): everything that can act as you (tokens, apps and the Reliquary CLI), each with Revoke. See Connections.
Send feedback (/feedback), as above.
Welcome tour (/welcome): the short slideshow that opens the first time you sign in. See Take the welcome tour.

It also switches the theme (Auto, Light or Dark) and signs you out.

Display name

On Account settings, you can give yourself a display name. People who share a vault with you see it, next to your email unless you choose otherwise (below), like "Ana Ruiz (ana@example.com)", in Activity, proposals, threads and on Members. Nobody else sees it.

Up to 80 characters. Spaces at either end are removed.
No "@", so a name never looks like an email address, and no control characters, invisible characters or text-direction marks.
Leave it empty and save to go back to your email alone.
A name that is refused stays in the field, with the reason and a reference above it, and nothing is saved.

Only you can set your name, signed in to the web app. An agent can't set it, over any tool: it's your profile, like your memberships. See Agents and the ceiling.

Show me to others as

Under the display name on Account settings, Show me to others as chooses what people who share a vault with you see:

Display name and email (the default): "Ana Ruiz (ana@example.com)", or your email alone if you have no name.
Display name alone: your name and a tag, the first 8 characters of your account id, like "Ana Ruiz · 3f2a1b9c". The tag tells two people with the same name apart. With no display name, you are shown by the tag alone.

Choose one and select Save. You always see your own email. Agents, yours and everyone else's, never see an email, whatever you choose: a tool that names people (for example changes_since or list_flags) shows them by display name and tag alone. Your display name is text, never code: a name like Robert'); DROP TABLE students;-- or <script> is shown exactly as written and does nothing.

With Display name alone, your email stays hidden everywhere: on Members, in Activity, in an invite you send and in the notice when you delete a vault. No vault can override your choice.

Only you can change this, signed in to the web app.

Your email address

Your email is how you sign in and how invites find you. To change it, enter the new address under Email on Account settings and choose Send confirmation link.

Reliquary's sign-in service emails a link to the new address, and one to your current address too if this site asks both (it does by default). Nothing changes yet: you keep signing in with your current address, and Account settings shows the change waiting for confirmation.
Open the link (or both links). With two, the first one you open says to open the other. Then the change is made, and you land on Account settings, signed in.
From then on you sign in with the new address.

What changes and what stays:

Your vaults, roles, connections, plan and display name stay as they are. They belong to your account, not your address.
People who share a vault with you see the new address, in Members, Activity and proposals.
Invites are matched to the address your account has when you open one. An invite made out to your old address stops working: ask the owner for a new one. An invite made out to your new address works with its link.
Until you confirm, a change grants nothing: invites made out to the new address don't show in your Inbox and can't be accepted.
Your old address is free again. Someone who later signs up with it gets the invites made out to it, but nothing of yours.

If the new address already belongs to another Reliquary account, the change is refused. A refusal, for this or any other reason, shows above the form with a reference, and the address you typed stays in it. Only you can change your address, signed in to the web app; an agent can't. A confirmation link expires after a while: if yours did, send a new one.

Sign out everywhere

Sign out, under Sessions on Account settings, ends your session in this browser. Sign out everywhere ends every session of your account at once: in every browser and on every device, this one included. Use it if you signed in on a computer you no longer use, or lost a phone. Pages open elsewhere go to the sign-in page on their next click. Signing in again works right away.

Connections are not sessions. Tokens, apps (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) and the Reliquary CLI keep working after you sign out everywhere, unless you tick Also revoke all my connections. That revokes every one of them at once; to revoke them one at a time, use Connections. See Connections.

Only you can sign out everywhere, signed in to the web app. An agent can't do it for you. If Reliquary can't reach its sign-in service, nothing is ended and the page says so, with a reference (see Errors).

Delete your account

Delete account, under Danger zone on Account settings, deletes your account at once: you leave every vault, your connections are deleted, and Reliquary forgets your email address, display name and plan. What you wrote in vaults stays there, and people see it as written by a deleted account. A vault nobody else is in is deleted with it, and one with members but no other owner is left for one of them to take on. See Delete your account.
