Changelog - Raycast
While there are no major new features, we've focused on ironing out few bits to make Raycast run smoothly on Sequoia. Enjoy improved stability and performance!
Bug fixes & Improvements
While this is a small release, it includes a private beta for the major feature that people have been asking for a while – the next iteration of floating notes. Before we roll it out to everyone, we want to test it with a small group of people to iron out the experience. You can apply for the beta in our Slack Community. Hopefully, the private beta phase won’t take long, and we will make this feature available to everyone soon.
How do I solve a quadratic equation? Now you see the results rendered beautifully with LaTeX in AI Chat and Quick AI 🥳. We also support LaTeX in a few other places such as extension detail view Markdown. See the manual for more details.
Improved Window Layouts
We improved the recently released Window Layouts with support for multiple monitors and opening files or links. This allows you to quickly open your code editor, browser, and terminal for a specific project with a single command.
Here’s what’s new in short: To get started, use the Create Window Layout Command. Then add a few apps, assign them to designated monitors, resize the windows as you want, and select a URL, file, or Quicklink to open. Pro tip: Assign a global hotkey to your Window Layouts to open them with a single keystroke.
Auto Quits
Work is busy. We open apps, switch between them, and often get carried away. But what if distractions wouldn’t stay around?! You could simply focus on coding, designing, or what matters in the moment. Well, say hello to Auto Quits. Simply enable Auto Quit for apps like Slack, and they get terminated after 3 minutes of inactivity. This is another step towards keeping you in the flow, with a new way of experiencing your computer where distractions aren't just easier to resist, but are completely out of sight.
To enable auto-quitting for your applications, select the app in the root search or the settings and click "Enable Auto Quit". Afterward, the app will terminate after 3 minutes of inactivity. To disable it, follow the same steps and select "Disable Auto Quit". We recommend enabling it for apps you don't rely on for your work and want to use only temporarily, such as chats, calendars, or social media apps.
Attachments in AI Chat
Chatting goes beyond just text. For years, we've shared files through emails, images through messages, and links in our workspaces. Today, we're bringing attachments to AI Chat to enable richer conversations the way we used to. You can now attach files like PDFs, screenshots, images, and even tabs using our browser extension. Click the new plus button in the AI Chat composer or press “⌘ ⇧ A” to add an attachment. You can add multiple attachments and mix and match them. Or checkout our collaboration with CleanShot to send your screenshots to AI Chat the easy way. Give it a try!

Quicklinks and Dynamic Placeholders
Unleash the power of Quicklinks with a whole new set of Dynamic Placeholders! You can now use the same Dynamic Placeholders in Quicklinks as in Snippets and AI Commands. And with Modifiers, you can now decide whether an argument will be percent-encoded or not.
Custom Window Management Commands
Take your workflow to the next level. Keep your desktop clean with custom window commands to resize and position your windows. Run Create Window Management Command from the search or go to Settings → Extensions → Window Management → Create Command. Learn more about custom commands in the manual. Note: Custom Window Management Commands is a part of our paid PRO subscription.

Unleash your creativity effortlessly with AI Image Generation. Within AI Chat or Quick AI, you can select a model supporting image generation and just ask “Generate an image of a cat“. The following image generation models are supported.
