What is Raycast?
Raycast provides a command bar for launching apps, searching, running actions, and connecting extensions. Its AI features add text and assistant workflows to the same keyboard-driven environment.
It suits power users who prefer keyboard shortcuts and reusable desktop actions. Raycast is primarily a macOS tool, so it is not a suitable main productivity system for users who need the same launcher workflow across operating systems.
