Raycast Notes makes it frictionless to organize your thoughts from anywhere on your Mac. Track todos, save meeting notes, and collect ideas. Designed to be lightweight with Markdown support and just a keystroke away.
Hi all! Nichlas from Raycast here 👋
We’re really excited to finally present our latest feature, Raycast Notes!
We believe it’s a significant improvement over our previous Floating Notes, from which we received so much valuable feedback from all of you 🙏
This project has been super fun and challenging, as we worked hard to keep Raycast Notes as minimal as possible, while adding enough power under the hood to go that extra mile.
We’re all very excited to see how you will take advantage of the new functionality, and we hope you’ll join us in our community to share feedback so we can continue to improve moving forward.
A special thanks to @giedre_blekaite and @michael_nielsen (one of our newest team members), who took on this challenge and delivered beyond my wildest expectations 👏 It was truly inspiring to watch!
Key Changes
🍡 Multiple Notes: The most requested feature, I believe this trickled in 100ms after we published the first version of Floating Notes 😆
🍬 Markdown Syntax: You can now style your content with nice markdown syntax. Headings, links, tasks, code blocks, and much more (full list here).
🔍 Search Notes Command: We added a new command inside of Raycast that lets you quickly search, preview, and open notes.
🍫 Menu Bar Access: Sometimes, it’s OK to click around with the mouse, so we added a menu bar icon, that you can enable in Raycast Settings for quick access, and while you’re there, set up a hotkey for it as well ⌨️
