Overview
Raycast is a desktop productivity launcher that lets users open applications, search information, manage services, run scripts, and connect extensions from a keyboard-driven command bar. Its extension store covers engineering, writing, design, communication, and other workflows, while the official site also provides Raycast AI with chat, Quick AI actions, and an AI Agent that can use connected tools. The launcher is proprietary. Raycast publishes an official extensions repository and a script-commands repository, but these are extension and automation sources rather than the launcher’s core source code.
