Hey all 👋 Thomas from the Raycast Team here. We’re super excited to open up Raycast to everyone and share it with the PH community today. Thanks Michael for the hunt! We built Raycast because we’re fed up with chasing around browser tabs and tools to get work done. The simplest things take way too many clicks. Not to mention the time spent in front of loading indicators on websites. With Raycast, you can control your tools with a few keystrokes. The command line inspired interface unifies tools as commands to cut through the noise. Here are a few examples what you can do: - Launch apps or search files on your Mac - Create, search and close issues in Asana, GitHub, Jira or Linear - Check upcoming meetings - Join conference calls with a single keypress - Approve, merge and close GitHub pull requests - Convert units, check dates and solve equations with a powerful calculator - Much more and if that isn't enough, you can extend Raycast with scripts We hope you join the Raycast community and we'd love to get your feedback. Also, I'm super happy to answer questions!
Raycast is one of the slickest and most productive applications I've used in a long time. I'm so excited that it's launching for the public.
Awww, great to hear that! Also thanks for the contributions in the community during our private beta.
Really nice design, looking forward to testing to see how it compares to Alfred.
Glad you like it and let us know about your testing!
I really like Raycast, but it's missing Alfred's ability to move files around using Universal Actions. Is that something Raycast is looking into or is there another tool that'll serve that need?
Just set this up and already replaced Spotlight. It's awesome. The linear and zoom integrations alone are amazing. Would love to see Notion support as well.
That's the spirit! Notion popped up plenty of times. They don't provide an API yet. I would love to have an extension for it as well haha
Awesome, will tell them about this. Would love to see Google Calendar and Slack added as well
Raycast is awesome. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it has totally streamlined how I work. A few things that I LOVE: - Whenever I have a zoom meeting, I can hit the Raycast shortcut and jump into the zoom meeting straight away 🤙. No permissions dialogs or waiting for an intermediary webpage to load. - Spotlight is not a thing for me anymore 🔎. Raycast can do everything it does. I have turned off Spotlight and mapped Raycast to Cmd + Space. Now, Raycast is in my muscle memory and whenever I would use Spotlight I can now use Raycast instead. - Linear integration. Boom 💥. For simple tasks, I no longer need to log into Linear and use their UI. I can just do a small bit of keyboard navigation instead. - Github integration 👨‍💻. More specifically, "My Pull Requests". I can quickly see which PRs I have been asked to review and which PRs I have been mentioned on. This has cleaned up my email inbox a TON as I turned off email notifications. Also, and and team are just super responsive. They have been pushing updates like it's going out of fashion. A new update EVERY WEEK. Really impressed by the progress. I love Raycast more every day.
Thank you ! Your feedback was super helpful during the beta! 💌
Aww... This is such a great list of use cases. So glad to had you as a beta tester during our private beta. The tool wouldn't be the same without your feedback and bug reports.
looks good, nice design!
Thanks 🙏
Really cool Thomas!
Love the fact that this is a native Mac app!
Great! You can read more about it in our manifesto:
Awesome for business users too! Scheduling that Zoom call is a couple of keystrokes away 💻
Never been quicker to join a conference call. Quite common these days ;-)
Have been using Raycast for the last couple of weeks. It's fast, has a tonne of features and completely replaced spotlight for me! Congrats , and team!
Thanks for the kind words 🥰 Very happy to have you as an early beta tester!
