A collection of powerful productivity tools all within an extendable launcher. Fast, ergonomic and reliable.
About 4 months ago, I asked for beginner tips on Raycast so that I could start trying it out. I'd heard some people talk about how helpful it was, but just downloading it, I didn't really know where to start or how to get the most out of it.
Well, 4 months later, it is an integral part of my workflow now. I'd actually say it's one of the most impactful apps I use (the other being @Aqua Voice) in terms of really improving my overall work. I use it now for so many things every day, and I've gotten it set up to be incredibly fast and efficient for what I need. I think I would feel very slow and disorganized going back to not using it.
@Raycast just announced it on X: The Windows app is now in `beta` and the team has begun a gradual roll-out to the waitlist.
Watch the announcement here:
@Apple just announced the new macOS Tahoe 26, which included the "biggest Spotlight update ever." From the outside, it feels like they essentially built Raycast into Spotlight.
Raycast's CEO, @thomaspaulmann reacted in a long-form X post. This quote really struck me:
While Apple catches up to 2019 Raycast, we're already shipping 2025 Raycast.
Raycast is highly praised for its speed, extensibility, and ability to enhance productivity on macOS. Users appreciate its seamless integration with various tools and its capacity to streamline workflows. Maker reviews from Screen Studio, Mintlify, and Central (YC S24) highlight its role in improving efficiency and providing quick access to commands. Many users find it indispensable, often replacing other tools like Spotlight and Alfred, and commend its active development and community-driven features.
