About Raycast

Raycast is the ultimate productivity launcher for macOS, replacing Spotlight with a dramatically more capable alternative. It opens instantly with a customizable shortcut and gives you access to apps, files, scripts, web searches, clipboard history, window management, and hundreds of extensions — all from the keyboard.

The extension ecosystem is where Raycast truly shines. Extensions for GitHub (create PRs, view issues), Linear (manage tasks), Vercel (check deployments), Figma, Notion, Jira, and hundreds more are community-built and available in the store. Developers can also build their own extensions in React/TypeScript.

Raycast AI (Pro feature) adds a built-in AI assistant with context from your clipboard, personalized commands, and the ability to search your entire screen content. For any developer who uses a Mac and values keyboard-first workflows, Raycast is essential.
