Brand Details

Type: Product

Description: Raycast is a macOS application launcher and productivity software developed by Raycast Technologies Ltd. It's designed to improve workflow efficiency by providing quick access to applications, files, dictionaries, text snippets, the clipboard, and more. Think of it as a more powerful and feature-rich alternative to macOS's built-in Spotlight search. A key feature is its extensibility; users can install numerous open-source extensions to integrate with other apps and services like GitHub, Zoom, and Notion, performing actions without switching contexts. This helps maintain focus and reduce the "toggle tax" – the time lost switching between applications. Raycast has a large community of developers contributing to its functionality, and it boasts hundreds of thousands of daily active users. The company plans to release versions for iOS and Windows in the future.
