About

Raycast is a blazingly fast, totally extendable launcher. It lets you complete tasks, calculate, share common links, and much more right from your desktop.

Target Audience: Raycast is built for macOS professionals who live on the keyboard, especially software developers, designers, product managers, and other knowledge workers who need faster access to apps, files, commands, and integrations. It is useful for people with repetitive daily workflows because they can launch tools, manage windows, and run scripts without constantly switching apps or using the mouse.
Not ideal for: People who need a Windows, Linux, or browser-only productivity tool should not use Raycast, because it is a macOS desktop app.

What makes it different

  • Keyboard-first launcher that searches and opens apps, files, commands, and actions from one command palette
  • Raycast Store with third-party extensions for popular tools and services
  • Script Commands that let users run local shell, AppleScript, or custom scripts as launchable commands
  • Built-in productivity tools such as clipboard history, snippets, quick links, and window management
