Building "Raycast for Android": What commands would actually save you time on mobile?

Hey everyone!

I built Monocle because I was frustrated by how much time I waste on Android just switching between apps to do simple things. On desktop, we have productivity tools like Spotlight and Raycast, but mobile still forces you to constantly break your workflow just to search a quick term or map a location.

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.
