About

Overview

Raycast is a blazingly fast, totally extendable launcher for macOS. It serves as a replacement for Spotlight, allowing you to launch apps, search files, run scripts, and interact with third-party APIs through a powerful extension ecosystem.

Pricing & Free Tier

Free Tier: Yes. Includes the core launcher, clipboard history, and thousands of community extensions.
Raycast Pro: $8/month. Unlocks AI commands (Raycast AI), Cloud Sync, and custom themes.
Team: $12/user/month. Adds shared extensions and snippets.

How to Use

  1. Download Raycast for Mac.
  2. Press Option + Space to open the command bar.
  3. Type the name of an app, or type commands like "Clipboard History" or "Kill Process".
  4. Install extensions from the Raycast Store to control tools like GitHub, Jira, or Spotify without leaving your keyboard.

Important Notes

  • Mac Only: Raycast is exclusive to macOS. A Windows beta is in development but not yet fully public.
  • Extensions: Extensions are built using React and TypeScript, making it very easy for developers to create custom tools.
