This major update integrates Raycast AI and presents a more complete leaderboard. Now you can see upvotes, comments, and details of each launch — right from within Raycast!
I can't take all the credit, though. The Product Hunt extension for Raycast was previously built by @ragnor_c with additional help from members of the Product Hunt and Raycast community.
I built upon that foundation and migrated from RSS to web scraping so you get votes and comment counts as well as proper leaderboard trending. From the leaderboard, you can dive into the details of each launch and check out each gallery.
I'd be remiss if I didn't take take this opportunity to nudge @rajiv_ayyangar and the Product Hunt team to invest in restoring the official API because as it turns out — it's quite broken! Fortunately, I was able to turn to web scraping techniques with the help of Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
As one of my first and biggest vibe coding projects so far — I'm thrilled to present it alongside the official launch of Raycast for iOS!

Raycast is undoubtedly one of the most useful iOS apps I have now. Thank you!
I have a couple of questions, feedback, and potential improvements (just for your information; these are nice to have):
- My top request is to enhance the integration of quick links. For example, it would be great to save quick links directly from the browser instead of copying and pasting them into the Raycast app. Additionally, if possible, searching for quick links in the browser would be helpful.
- I love the integration of Whisperer in the iOS app. Is there a plan to add it to the desktop experience as well? I would mainly use it in the chat interface for deep research related to my work.
- Would it be possible to add PDF and text file support in the iOS app soon? That would be very helpful for me.
Again, the app is fantastic! Thank you!
Love it Chris!! How meta is it that I saw the details from the Raycast Extension lol
Made my shortcut PH for this :D Congrats on the launch and... I will also nudge internally hehe (don't h8 me team).
Congrats on your launch.🎉
I was distracted by Raycast iOS but this is revolutionary for me and I'm happy to see two of my favorite things integrate so seamlessly.
Moreover, the UI is solid, very easy to see, and the information is easy to understand. It looks like I'll be using Raycast + PH instead of Arc + PH in the future. Good luck.🤞
Hey Chris, I am trying to install the extension, but the button doesn't respond. Is it just me, or is it a bug? (I expect it to take me into Chromewebstore)
