"Perfect Spotlight Replacement with Amazing Performance and Integrations"

5/5

What do you like best about Raycast?

Raycast is the perfect app to replace Spotlight! I tried Alfred before but have never been happy about it, even if it has many features I always felt something missing. Raycast is perfect for the job and it has been able to replace some applications I was using.

It offers plenty of integration, the performance are amazing and have to tell you I also updated my subscription into a paid one because the ability to quickly open AI chat and ask to it quick questions that that's too co comfy for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Raycast?

You know what? I don't have much to dislike Rycast about. I'm pretty curious about the version 2 that they are about to introduce, but beside that, no complaints at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Raycast solving and how is that benefiting you?

Raycast is a beast as substitute of spotlight from Apple.

As I said before, I was also trying to use Alfred, but Raycast it's just one level above everything because as soon as you start to understand how it works and the shortcuts that provides to you you never get back!

Probably the fact that with just a single application you can replace multiple application like your launcher (obviously), but also window management, password management, clipboard management, text expander and stuff like that...

There are plenty of extensions in the store that will help you out in so many ways that I can't even count. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
