Panel Reviews
The Builder
Developer Perspective
“Raycast replaced Spotlight, Alfred, Rectangle, and Clipboard Manager — all in one app. The extension ecosystem means every tool I use is a Cmd+Space away.”
The Skeptic
Reality Check
“macOS only is a real limitation. But if you're on a Mac, this is genuinely one of the best productivity tools available. The AI integration is well-done too.”
The Creator
Content & Design
“The AI chat is great for quick questions without opening a browser. Snippets for frequently used text blocks. Window management built in. It's my most-used app.”
Community Sentiment
“Replaced Alfred entirely — the extension ecosystem is incredible and the AI integration feels native”
“The clipboard history alone is worth it, but the window management finally made me ditch Magnet”
“Raycast is the first app I install on any new Mac. No questions asked.”
“The dev tools integrations saved me hours — GitHub, Jira, and Linear all in one launcher”
