“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.”
“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 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.”
