Polido vs Raycast AI
Polido vs Raycast AI: no launcher, no command to pick
Raycast is a launcher that does a great many things, and its AI is one of them: you open Raycast, pick an AI command, and the result comes back. Polido does one thing. You double-tap right ⌘ and the text you are typing is rewritten where it is, tuned for the app you are in, with nothing to open and no command to choose.
Then type anywhere and double-tap right ⌘
Free: 100 rewrites in your first two weeks, then 20 a month. Pro is $10 a month for 500 ($8 billed annually).

What a rewrite looks like
A real recording from the shipping app, on the free plan.
You type
whats the best way to do auth in my app, im using next and i think supabase but not sure, also need social login and how do i test it
Polido sends
I'm building auth for a Next.js app and considering Supabase, but I'm not certain. Please cover: (1) The approach you'd recommend for Next.js auth, and whether Supabase fits or if something else suits better, with the tradeoffs of each. (2) How to add social login (Google and GitHub) under the approach you recommend. (3) How to test the auth flow end-to-end, including the social login paths. For each section, show setup code and configuration for the approach you pick.
Choose Raycast AI if
You want one launcher for everything on your Mac and are happy to invoke AI as a command among many.
Choose Polido if
You want rewriting to feel like part of typing: one keystroke, in place, already knowing whether you are writing a prompt or a message.
Questions
- Can I use Polido alongside Raycast?
- Yes. Polido uses a double-tap of right ⌘, which does not clash with Raycast's shortcut.
- Do I need an AI subscription or API key for Polido?
- No. The model runs on Polido's side on every plan, and there is nowhere to enter a key.
- Is Polido on Windows like Raycast?
- Yes. Polido runs on Mac and Windows; on Windows you double-tap the right Ctrl key.
