Raycast is a keyboard-driven launcher, built first for Mac and also available on Windows and iOS, that bundles a wide range of productivity tools behind a single command bar with AI features built directly in. It is designed for people who want to move between apps, actions and information quickly without reaching for a mouse, and it integrates with everyday tools such as Linear, Slack, Notion and Spotify so those actions can be triggered from the same place.
Beyond the core launcher, Raycast includes built-in tools such as notes, a calculator, file search, window management, an emoji picker and a calendar, plus snippets, quicklinks and hotkeys for automating repeated actions. Raycast AI acts as an assistant that can work with the tools a person already has connected, offering both a chat interface and quick, inline AI actions, and the catalog of community extensions runs into the thousands, spanning productivity, engineering, design and writing tools. The company reports a 99.8% crash-free rate and an active community of tens of thousands of members.
Raycast is free to use, with a Pro subscription available for people who want additional features beyond the free tier.
