Introducing Ray 3.0

This release took longer than we expected, but we used that time to completely rebuild Ray, and make it faster, look and feel better, and pack this release full of great new features.

If you're already on Ray 2.8 or any of the Ray 3.0 betas, the quickest way to upgrade is to download the latest version for your platform on https://myray.app/ or under your purchases on your Spatie profile. Any license bought before the release of Ray 3 remains valid.

What's new in Ray 3.0

1. Better performance

Rebuilt for speed and efficiency, Ray 3.0 is noticeably faster, loads quicker, and handles heavy dumping without a sweat. It also uses significantly less memory, reducing memory usage by 60% in some cases.

2. Let AI agents interact with Ray

Ray now includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents read from and write to Ray, interact with it directly, and trigger many of the same actions you’d normally perform manually in the app.

3. Archiving messages

Never lose a message again! Clearing your screen now saves any previously sent messages to an archive. Use the archive to compare output between sessions or debug hard-to-reproduce issues.

4. Fresh new look

Ray has a cool, new design that looks and feels great in both light and dark modes. We've also added a few cool themes, including one for our fellow Artisans and one that speaks to your inner Hacker 👀.

Upgrading to Ray 3.0

If you're new to Ray, download the trial and try it out. If you like it, support us by buying a yearly license, or for a limited time only, buying a lifetime license and never worry about renewing again.

If you're already on Ray 2.8 or any of the Ray 3.0 betas, the quickest way to upgrade is to download the latest version for your platform here https://myray.app/ or under your purchases on your Spatie profile. Any license bought before the release of Ray 3 remains valid.

Help us build our roadmap

We got tons of great feedback (thank you testers!) during the beta phase, and we would like to keep that conversation going. This time, we want to hear what should be on our roadmap next.

Ray 3.0 is just the beginning, and we've got plenty more ideas and improvements planned for upcoming releases. If you've got feature requests, ideas, or workflows where Ray could help you out, share them on our GitHub discussion page.

We’re all ears.
