Monocle
Raycast for Android. A unified, offline command bar.
Android lacks a native, universal command layer, forcing you to constantly switch apps and break your workflow. Monocle fixes this by bringing a fast, Spotlight-style command bar directly to your active screen. Who it's for: Power users wanting desktop-level efficiency (like Raycast) on mobile. Features: • Universal overlay (works over any app) • 100% offline (no internet permissions, zero tracking) • Frictionless commands (Google, Maps, AI) without switching screens.
I built Monocle because I was tired of interrupting my mobile workflow to dig through app drawers, search engines, and settings menus. I wanted a fast, unified command layer that runs over whatever app is currently open, just like Raycast or Spotlight does on a desktop.
Monocle operates via an Android accessibility overlay, which allows it to pop up instantly and execute commands seamlessly.
Two things I prioritized during development:
Universal compatibility: It acts as a seamless overlay on top of any app you are currently using.
100% offline architecture: The core app is completely local. It requires no internet permission, has zero background tracking, and includes no analytics. Your data never leaves your device.
Monocle is currently available on itch.io for $2, which is helping me fund the $25 Google Play Console developer fee so I can eventually bring it to the Play Store.
I've added a secondary link in the promo section that automatically applies a 50% off discount exclusively for the PH community! I would love to hear your feedback on the speed, workflow, and what commands you want to see added next.
