Raycast is what Spotlight should have been: a keyboard-first command bar for your entire Mac — launch apps, manage windows, run scripts, search files, control Spotify, file Linear issues — extended by a store of thousands of community extensions. The core is free and genuinely complete.

The Pro tier ($8/mo) adds the AI layer: chat with frontier models from the same hotkey, AI commands that transform selected text anywhere in the OS, and — the sleeper feature — MCP support, which lets the AI actually operate your connected tools rather than just talk about them. Quick AI answers from a keystroke replace a surprising number of browser trips.

It's Mac-only (a Windows version has been in the works), and the deepest value requires investing in muscle memory — people who set up hotkeys, snippets, and quicklinks get 10x more from it than people who install it and forget it. The free tier is so good that the main risk is never discovering what Pro adds.

🐱 SAGE SAYS

The highest praise I can give software: after a week, using a Mac without it feels broken. Start free, learn ten hotkeys, and you'll know within a month whether you're an $8/mo person. Most power users are.
