Raycast: AI, Notes and more 4+

I’ve used Raycast on my Macs for years. It’s rare that I write a review for something, but it’s one of the few apps that’s hard for me to live without because of the time it saves me and the ability to control my computer from a Spotlight search bar. I’ve been waiting for the iOS version for ages, and the fact that it skipped beta (that I’m aware of) is amazing. Because of iOS limitations, there’s obviously some things the mobile version can’t do, but I’m impressed with the UI nonetheless. It’s frictionless to ask AI a question, and the voice to text is remarkably accurate. With Pro, a lot of your settings and notes sync over as well. A few things I’d like to request in the future:

- Mobile web page extension so I can ask it to summarize web pages like I can on Mac
- Ability to create custom commands from mobile (I may have missed this in the settings)
- Extensions store for mobile, even if there are limitations

I’ve been waiting for this app for months and it has finally arrived. Finally my raycast notes are synced! I have the pro subscription and love using the ai features also. Beautiful design and ux. I cannot work anymore without raycast shortcuts, snippets, scripts, quick links and all the amazing extensions that this wonderful community is building. You have also been fast in integrating new models into your ai chat and it’s just amazing to be able to use Claude, ChatGPT O3, Gemini 2.5 pro with my presents in one single app. Please keep going like this!

TL;DR this is just a low-quality AI chat app from the same company as Raycast desktop, and lives up to nothing that made Raycast great

When I heard Raycast was coming to iOS, I was excited that it might become the ultimate Action Button launcher app and really bring what makes Raycast on desktop great in a mobile form. There are so many great things about the desktop Raycast, and AI tools are a very small part of that. It’s disappointing that this app gets the name of such an incredible tool when it’s only a shell of it.
I’d love to see tools like the amazing calculator, dictionary, or shortcuts. Instead, this app has unpolished chat features (math symbols and files aren’t supported, “Ask Webpage” just goes and searches the web without even using the page you provide, and I could go on). This is just a worse AI chat app than any of the other ones on the App Store, and barely related to the amazing app that is its namesake.
I’d love for this app to improve into what it could have been or into a better version of what it is currently. But for now, it’s an unpolished companion app for Raycast Pro users that brings almost nothing good to iOS.
