Raycast
Mac launcher with built-in AI commands and quick automations.
Add Raycast to your hut →Raycast is a Mac launcher and productivity tool that replaces Spotlight with a far more capable command bar. From it you can search files, control apps, run scripts, and trigger hundreds of extensions — but the AI layer is what sets it apart. Raycast AI lets you ask questions, draft text, summarise clipboard content, write code snippets, and translate, all without opening a browser or switching apps. Extensions cover GitHub, Jira, Linear, Figma, and dozens of developer tools.
The core launcher is free. Pro ($10/mo) adds Raycast AI with access to multiple models including GPT-4o and Claude. Most often compared to Alfred — Raycast's edge is the extensions ecosystem and native AI integration without extra setup; Alfred has more scripting power for users who prefer total manual control.
