Raycast
Replace Mac Spotlight with a command palette that controls every app in your stack, manages your clipboard, and runs AI commands inline — all without lifting your hands from the keyboard.
Overview
Raycast is the Mac productivity launcher that replaces Spotlight with a command palette that can search files, run workflows, manage clipboard history, open Jira tickets, draft emails with AI, translate text, generate code snippets, and control hundreds of apps — all from one keystroke. The AI commands handle summarization, writing, and translation inline without switching windows. The extension ecosystem (1000+ community extensions) means every tool in your stack has a Raycast integration.
