Overview

Raycast is an extensible launcher for opening commands and working with connected tools from the keyboard.

Why it is useful

Its extension catalog keeps common actions close to search, rather than requiring each app to be opened first.

Good fit for

Keyboard-oriented users who switch among many desktop tools during the day.

Try it when

  • Finding a command without leaving the current task
  • Triggering an action in a connected service
  • Building a repeatable shortcut for a frequent workflow
