Raycast for iOS Is Out

A Companion to My Favourite Mac Launcher

Raycast 🖇️ is one of my favourite parts about using a Mac. It’s a great launcher, that I also use for snippets, window management, searching, setting a bunch of hotkeys (like for shortcuts), and more. It’s also my main window to AI tools, and the only AI subscription I have.

I’m working on a full post on how I use Raycast – but now I just wanted to share that the iOS version is out.

Obviously, very limited (thanks Apple)

Most of what Raycast does on the Mac is, obviously, not even close to allowed on iOS. So this new app is mostly just a companion for the Mac app.

Raycast did a large overhaul of their notes feature in november – and if you’re a user of this (which I’m not) having access to them on mobile is nice.

You also get access to your snippets and “quick links” (which I don’t use either).

But the thing I’ll use the iOS app for, is access to my AI chats. Not only does it sync the conversations from the Mac, I’ll also be able to use all the premium models I’m paying for. This greatly increases the value of my Raycast subscription.

As I don’t pay directly to any AI vendor, I’ve been using only free options on mobile. I don’t use AI chat that much, and even less on mobile, so I’ve been content enough with Mistral’s Le Chat.¹ But having access to all of Raycast is a large upgrade here.
