Raycast
Raycast · Productivity
Mac productivity launcher positioned as the alternative to Spotlight and Alfred for power users who want extensibility + a great UX. Distinctive for its extensions store, AI features (Ask Raycast), and clipboard history. Priced free (personal) with Raycast Pro at $10/user/mo (annual) or $16/mo. Series B in 2023. Popular with developers, designers, and knowledge workers who spend their day in a Mac terminal + browser.
In other words, Raycast is worth it for macOS power users (developers, designers, ops) who want Spotlight-on-steroids — launcher + snippets + calculator + AI assistant + 600+ extensions. Free covers core launcher forever; Pro adds cloud sync, unlimited AI, and custom themes; Pro + Advanced AI adds premium models. Very easy — replaces Spotlight seamlessly. Native integrations with GitHub, Linear, Notion, Slack, and 500+ apps via extensions. Downside: macOS-only (no Windows/Linux), and Advanced AI subscription adds recurring cost on top of Pro.
