Raycast 1.0 - Control your tools with a few keystrokes

Hey all 👋 Thomas from the Raycast Team here. We’re super excited to open up Raycast to everyone and share it with the PH community today. Thanks Michael for the hunt! We built Raycast because we’re fed up with chasing around browser tabs and tools to get work done. The simplest things take way too many clicks. Not to mention the time spent in front of loading indicators on websites. With Raycast, you can control your tools with a few keystrokes. The command line inspired interface unifies tools as commands to cut through the noise. Here are a few examples what you can do: - Launch apps or search files on your Mac - Create, search and close issues in Asana, GitHub, Jira or Linear - Check upcoming meetings - Join conference calls with a single keypress - Approve, merge and close GitHub pull requests - Convert units, check dates and solve equations with a powerful calculator - Much more and if that isn't enough, you can extend Raycast with scripts We hope you join the Raycast community and we'd love to get your feedback. Also, I'm super happy to answer questions!

Raycast is one of the slickest and most productive applications I've used in a long time. I'm so excited that it's launching for the public.

Really nice design, looking forward to testing to see how it compares to Alfred.

Just set this up and already replaced Spotlight. It's awesome. The linear and zoom integrations alone are amazing. Would love to see Notion support as well.

Raycast is awesome. I've been using it for a couple of months now and it has totally streamlined how I work. A few things that I LOVE: - Whenever I have a zoom meeting, I can hit the Raycast shortcut and jump into the zoom meeting straight away 🤙. No permissions dialogs or waiting for an intermediary webpage to load. - Spotlight is not a thing for me anymore 🔎. Raycast can do everything it does. I have turned off Spotlight and mapped Raycast to Cmd + Space. Now, Raycast is in my muscle memory and whenever I would use Spotlight I can now use Raycast instead. - Linear integration. Boom 💥. For simple tasks, I no longer need to log into Linear and use their UI. I can just do a small bit of keyboard navigation instead. - Github integration 👨‍💻. More specifically, "My Pull Requests". I can quickly see which PRs I have been asked to review and which PRs I have been mentioned on. This has cleaned up my email inbox a TON as I turned off email notifications. Also, @thomaspaulmann and @petr_nikolaev and team are just super responsive. They have been pushing updates like it's going out of fashion. A new update EVERY WEEK. Really impressed by the progress. I love Raycast more every day.

looks good, nice design!

Really cool Thomas!

I've been using Raycast for some time and I'm still surprised of how fast it is! Also the scripting is super cool! Definitely recommend it!

Love the fact that this is a native Mac app!

Awesome for business users too! Scheduling that Zoom call is a couple of keystrokes away 💻
