Overview

  • Raycast's iOS app is now live, marking the company's first move beyond its Mac-exclusive origins.
  • Key features include AI Chat with cross-device sync, Notes for simple idea capture, Quicklinks for easy navigation, Snippets for text storage, and Cloud Sync for seamless workflow across Apple devices.
  • Due to iOS sandboxing restrictions, the app cannot replace Spotlight or support extensions as it does on macOS.
  • The team is exploring additional features such as a custom keyboard, Focus mode, AI extensions, and clipboard history sync for future updates.
  • Raycast is considering an Android version if the iOS app gains significant traction among users.
