Reviewer scorecard
“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.”
“Great product but the closed ecosystem is a problem. No Linux support, limited API, no plugins. If you're in the Apple ecosystem it's fine. Otherwise, look elsewhere.”
“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.”
“$30/mo for an email client is hard to justify when Gmail is free and has AI features too. The speed is nice but not $360/year nice. A productivity tax for the sake of aesthetics.”
“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.”
“At $30/mo it's a luxury, but email is where I spend 2+ hours daily. Superhuman cuts that to 45 minutes. The AI triage alone — auto-sorting important vs noise — is worth it.”
