Raycast is a launcher application for macOS and Windows that gives keyboard users quick access to tools, commands, and information without switching apps. It centralizes everyday actions behind a single interface, covering tasks such as text expansion, launching bookmarks, managing windows, searching files, and running calculations.
Core features include Snippets for keyword-triggered text expansion, Quicklinks for launching URLs or resources, hotkeys and aliases for commands and apps, window management, clipboard history, file search, a calculator, calendar, notes, timers, and an emoji picker. Raycast AI provides an AI Chat agent, Quick AI accessible via a hotkey, and AI Extensions that connect everyday tools. An extension API with a component library lets developers build cross-platform extensions and publish them to the Raycast Store, with integrations available for services such as Linear, Jira, Slack, Notion, Spotify, and 1Password.
Raycast is available for free for personal use, with a Free plan, a Pro plan, and Team and Enterprise plans for organizational use. The Team plan is seat-based, and AI usage is governed by AI credits.
