“Love the idea, but I have so many "cmd+space bar", "cmd+opt+space bar", "opt+spacebar" apps that I don't want to add a new similar shortcut (or any other) to remember. Does it work inside raycast as an extension?”

“As someone who uses Raycast extensively, I wouldn't mind Raycast integration with your Notes app. :)”

“These are my go-to apps on any MacBook: 1. Raycast”

“i don't want to completely replace macos spotlight so having a command bar integrated into Zen’s existing URL bar feels much cleaner for my use case. but since it lives in the browser, I think it could lean more into search/browsing features rather than trying to be a do-everything launcher like Raycast.”

“I think the point of my comment is clear, even without me having to list out all Raycast alternatives for Linux users”

“I know its alternatives but you said Raycast, so...”

“@raycast @nuphystudio I'll go first with my favorite shortcut: ✦ + Space for Dictation!”

“One tool kills: - Magnet / Rectangle for window resizing - AltTab for app switching - Raycast / Alfred for app launcher - iStats for system monitoring - Paste for universal clipboard with history”

“For that extra $10, you’re getting a set of novelty keycaps (and these can get expensive) *and* a month of Raycast Pro. When you put together the Air 75 V3, the dedicated colorway, the novelty caps, and the sub, it’s really not an *egregious* brand collab compared to what it could’ve been.”

“It's not which key that Cmd is assigned to that's the issue -- you can swap that in MacOS without Raycast -- it's the physical placement of the key. On Apple keyboards the right side of the Cmd key is parallel with the right side of the X key.”
tehfrawg · reddit ·
“Well swapping the two is a native feature in Raycast. So you’d just need to move the keycaps.”
StaticFanatic3 · reddit ·
“The “raycast” part is just the keycaps theme right?”

“Why is it not available in India? I’ve been a Raycast user for more than 3 years and wanted to buy it, but it’s very sad that I can’t see options to buy it in India. Please make it available for Indian users too.”

“I remember the Launchy application from more than 15 years ago, which embodied the same idea as Raycast. It ran on just 50 MB of RAM, was fast, unique, and offered an unusual interaction model. What’s happening now with these applications?”

“I'd been running it for maybe 2-3 days, and in that entire lifetime I'd done maybe.. half a dozen searches for programs on my pc to run, and that's about it.”

“Personally, I’m undecided about whether to stick with Raycast or switch (to Alfred?). I have a few custom extensions, though, so I’d need to be able to transfer them.”
Seagram62 · reddit ·
“New raycast is better than the old one and wen technologies are superior! Or that's what they want you to believe.”

“If a feature is premium and you don’t want to pay, you’re free to use another app. Expecting them to change their entire pricing model to avoid losing one free user is unrealistic. Whether you use Raycast or not, they likely won’t care.”

“If you need translations, you can access them quite nicely via quicklinks in raycast but you need to create them first.”

“The SMS 2FA extension for Raycast is one of my favorite quality of life improvements. It pulls them right out of iMessage!”

“I've been using Raycast since it launched on Windows, but I think I'm done with it now. I understand the company needs to make a profit, but for Brazil, $10 is a steep price for basic features like that—which were the ones I used most, aside from the clipboard.”

“1. install raycast 2. download your dotfiles + setup script 3. point raycast at them and run 4. profit”

“it does support Raycast extensions, you can even install them from the store. Simply some of them do not work because they hardcode platform specific paths, use AppleScript, etc...”
aurelle_b · reddit ·
“I’m pretty sure you could’ve built something that would support Raycast extensions to some degree?”
sapoepsilon · reddit ·
“Also that the speedtest Raycast extension does not work (for me). But I suspect that might not be on you”

“I've been tossing around the idea of using Linux as my main OS but haven't because Raycast is still to good, and alternatives on Linux fall short for me”
