Raycast for iOS - Powerful productivity on the go

Super stoked for this launch. I'm a huge Raycast fan (check out what's in my Raycast!) and have been on the Raycast for iOS TestFlight from the jump. (Don't miss my Product Hunt for Raycast launch!)

Now that's it's out, you can access the Raycast experience on mobile, including:

• 💬 Chat with dozens of AI models for perfect answers on any task

• 📚 Capture and organize thoughts so brilliant ideas never slip away

• 🔗 Access your Quicklinks instantly for important resources on the go

• 📝 Use your code snippets and templates to maintain productivity anywhere

• ☁️ Sync seamlessly across all your Apple devices with zero friction

Here's a walkthrough to give you an idea what it looks like in practice:

Hi Product Hunt! I’m Jordan, designer behind Raycast for iOS 👋.

Today we’re so excited to finally take a step beyond the desktop with the release of Raycast for iOS 🚀. Bringing your AI Chats, Notes and more with you on the go.

This journey has been equal parts fun and challenging, from figuring out what it even means to bring Raycast to iOS, to crafting all the tiny details along the way. And with that, a huge thanks goes to @johan_thorell , @giedre_blekaite and @petr_nikolaev for all their hard work in building, rebuilding (yes we built 3 versions) and refining the app over the past year 💪🏻.

To celebrate the launch, we’re offering 30% off with code IOS-30 during checkout on raycast.com until May 7th to get 30% off monthly or yearly subscriptions.

*It can be redeemed only on the web, not Apple’s App Store, and only applies to new subscriptions.

So let’s meet Raycast for iOS 🥁

Raycast for iOS brings the essentials from your Mac straight to your phone

• AI Chat with dozens of models (OpenAI, Perplexity, Claude and more)

• Notes to capture ideas the moment they strike

• Quicklinks for one-tap access to your key resources

• Snippets and templates to keep shipping wherever you are

Your home away from home

The Home screen is designed for speed and allows customization to match your workflow:

• Favorites: Pin your most-used Quicklinks, Snippets, AI Chat Presets, and more

• Search: Pull down to search the entire app

• AI: Jump straight in by typing or holding the voice button

System Integration

Raycast features extend well beyond the app itself. We’ve made sure you can customise and access Raycast from every corner of iOS:

• Shortcuts: Create advanced workflows by using actions like Ask AI, AI Command, New Note, Open Camera, etc.

• Action Button: Assign Ask AI or Voice to the action button

• Widgets: Get quick access to AI from your lock screen, or your favorites list on your Home Screen

• Controls: Setup control center with your frequent actions

iPhone ←> Mac ←> iPad

Thanks to Cloud Sync, you can take your Raycast content with you, anywhere, on all your Apple devices.

*Cloud Sync requires an active Pro Plan subscription.

This is just the beginning of our mobile journey. We're excited to bring more Mac features to iOS, and explore new capabilities just for mobile context. Expect a custom keyboard and other things to come in the future.

Thanks for checking out Raycast for iOS.

I love this! Not long ago, I decided I wanted to start using Raycast and actually asked for some tips that were super helpful. Once I had some good use cases, I was sold. Raycast has now become an essential part of my workflow, and I find myself using it more and more.

When I saw this was available, it was an immediate download for me. It even got a coveted spot on my home screen. Apple Notes got kicked out now that I can have my Raycast Notes with me at all times.

I think the best thing I can say from using it so far is that it just really feels like I'm getting the real deal Raycast experience on my phone. It felt completely natural to start using it on the go.

Between using Raycast more and more on my Mac and now beginning to use it on mobile, I am getting dangerously close to becoming a super fan haha. I preemptively apologize to my team mates who will likely have to endure me trying to get them to start using Raycast now.

Hey Product Hunt fam! 👋

Super excited to finally share Raycast for iOS with you all today!

We've been grinding on this for months, trying to figure out how to bring the Raycast magic to your pocket without compromising what makes it special. Mobile has its challenges, but we think we've created something that feels both familiar and fresh.

The TestFlight crew has been amazing with feedback (big thanks if you were part of that!), and we've been polishing like crazy to get this ready for launch.

This is just the beginning for Raycast on mobile. We've got a roadmap full of cool stuff coming, but we really want to hear what YOU think we should prioritize next.

The Product Hunt community has been with us for five years now, and your feedback has shaped Raycast in countless ways. Seriously, we wouldn't be here without you all.

Can't wait to see what you think! Drop your thoughts below and let us know how you're using Raycast on iOS! 🚀

Congrats on your launch!🎉 I couldn't be more happy that my Mac regular companion can now also be my iPhone companion.

It covers all the necessary functions, and it was a great opportunity to make more active use of Raycast Notes. Good luck team.

This has been a massive challenge for the whole team. It’s the first time Raycast goes beyond the Mac, onto a new platform with a whole different set of restrictions and use cases. I’m incredibly proud of what the team have been able to achieve. It’s been in the making for about a year!

To deliver the news, the Hype Team worked on a campaign which included a beautiful ad shot on 35mm film (Kodak Vision3 200T, to be specific) and a product demo. A lot of thought, care and attention to detail went into producing this campaign, but I hope you like it!

I've had early access for few weeks. Above all, I absolutely love the synced Raycast Notes and quick access to Raycast AI from the home screen.

Raycast for iOS is a must-have, no brainer.

Congrats y'all! So proud of you, and to be a part of this community for a long time. Look forward to continue seeing your platforms scale (Windows and hopefully Android too?!) Here's to your continued well-deserved success! 🙌

Love Raycast on my mac. So happy it's coming to iOS

became my favorite app instantly 😌

Love it! I can’t really operate on a Mac without Raycast these days- it’s that deeply embedded in all my workflows. Been putting a lot more data into Raycast’s cloud sync lately, too, and having all that on iOS easily available where I can quickly do something on my phone and impress people with my productivity when really I’m just being lazy and not actually doing much: hell yeah that’s what I want.

very impressive v1! congrats and i am looking forward to advanced features

One of the most requested apps since the inception of Raycast... am I dreaming? 👀 It's finally here?! 🎉

Congrats on the launch guys, this is an amazing milestone!

Congrats on your launch! 🎉 Hands down Raycast is the best!

Let me just say that I am a massive fan of Raycast and the team behind it. Such a fantastic piece of software and so wildly useful and always delightful. The amount of care, craft and buttery deliciousness packed into their MacOS app can't be understated. I use it a freakish amount of times per day for so many different things — it's one of the most valued pieces of software I have.

The new iOS app is a fantastic v1, punching well above its weight. I'm already a paid subscriber on the Mac (I use the AI features a ton), and the team has done a brilliant job porting many of the features and functionality found on the Mac to the iOS. It definitely exceeds what I was expecting with the first release, and I can only imagine how much better it's going to get.

A mad congrats to the team for all their work. Couldn't be happier and all praise is absolutely well deserved.

Congrats on the launch!!!

Been waiting for this since forever and it's so much better than I even expected. Congrats on the launch team
