Raycast has finally released its highly anticipated iPhone app, after years of development and uncertainty about what to build. The app, which also comes to iPad, focuses on two key features that made it a popular tool for Mac users: AI-powered chat and note-taking.
The chat feature uses Raycast’s built-in chatbot, which integrates multiple models and allows seamless syncing across platforms. Users can attach photos from their camera or have voice conversations with the bot. This is particularly appealing to users who want to sync their conversations, but couldn’t find an iOS app that met this requirement.
In addition to the AI-powered chat, Raycast also launches its barebones note-taking system, dubbed “Raycast Notes.” This feature syncs notes across platforms, allowing users to access and update them from anywhere. The app’s development was surprisingly straightforward compared to figuring out why it needed to be built in the first place.
While the app is still evolving, it promises to bring a familiar interface to AI-powered chat and note-taking on mobile devices, giving Raycast users a convenient way to stay organized and connected across platforms.
