Raycast Notes - Fast, light, and frictionless note-taking

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 ⌨️

The Raycast team killed it on this. Floating notes were already incredibly helpful for jotting something down, but the care for detail the team have put into making them even more powerful is fantastic.

I keep finding myself trying different note apps just to end up going back to Apple Notes...this might actually make me change though. @nichlaswa do the notes sync to your mobile device or somewhere we can access when not at our Mac? Congrats on the launch!

This project has been in the making for a while, and a few priorities got in the way of shipping it earlier. But today is the day we finally put it out. Obviously we wanted to share it with the Product Hunt community, which helped us since 2020 to launch new features and side projects. Check out the promo code to get 30% off for Raycast Pro as a thank you 🙌

Personally relieved to see it live 🫶 I hope you all enjoy it as much as we have!

We love Raycast at Mintlify. We use it to speed up team workflows — it's a time machine. S/O to @thomaspaulmann @peduarte @samuelkraft @rvroo @megan_pearson and team for your amazing work — keep it up!

Wow, that's amazing! I, like many Raycast fans, have been waiting for this

Congrats on the launch! Keep pushing you're doing great ❤️ And what a promo video 😍

I've found the *perfect* note app for me. This is it. Simple, fast, powerful, but not bloated. Can't go back. The craft this team puts in everything they touch truly is incredible

Congrats on the launch! Raycast Notes looks like a sleek, efficient note-taking tool. What's your favorite feature so far? 🚀
