Pricing details aren't available. Raycast runs on a freemium model with both free and paid tiers.
This macOS launcher replaces your default Spotlight with something far more capable. Raycast brings AI chat directly into your operating system — ask questions and get answers without switching apps. You can summon it anywhere with a hotkey and start typing.
Thousands of extensions unlock the real power. Connect Linear for project management. Spotify for music control. Arc browser for quick searches. A product manager juggling multiple projects could type a few letters to check Linear tickets, translate text with Google Translate, and schedule Zoom calls without touching the mouse.
Snippets save your sanity. They handle frequently typed text. Quicklinks launch anything instantly.
Beyond the basics, Raycast handles flight tracking, file conversion, window management, and day planning. AI integration combines web search with chat to answer questions right in your workflow. You'll find extensions for 1Password, JIRA, Slack, Notion, and Obsidian among many others.
It crashes 0.2% of the time. Solid engineering. Windows users can try the beta version, though the full experience requires macOS 13 or later. Raycast targets professionals who live in keyboard shortcuts and want everything accessible without clicking through menus. If you're constantly switching between apps to get things done, this launcher consolidates most actions into one interface.
