An extremely enthusiastic convert from Alfred here. I can't believe I didn't switch to Raycast sooner! It's AWESOME. It replaces multiple little applets I've used for years for various tasks.

I have to say that I have discovered Raycast, just a few weeks ago. I know I have been leaving under a rock, but at the same time, I don't even know how I was able to work until Raycast. You guys have developed by far the most "HAVE TO USE APP" ever for mac users. I cannot thank you enough.

A window size settings option would be great. I personally would love it bigger. That way different people can have their desired preference. Great video. I really appreciated the window -+ suggestion.

As many others mentioned the window size is perfect and is just the right size to get enough context at a glance while not taking up too much of my existing workspace. One note is I only use compact mode and that has also been perfect!

Same compact mode is very well made

On the mention of Mechanical Keyboards; It would be fantastic if Raycast could incorporate the feature of viewing QMK or VIA configs. Often, I find myself uncertain about macros or keys that are nested in different layers. Having the ability to quickly access and review my layers and keys through Raycast would be truly remarkable!

I'm a paid member, and the best feature is assigning roles to AI. I use this every day, but I wish there were fewer steps to choose the role that I want to use. Currently, you call Raycast, type "ai chat," and if the previous chat is old, Raycast will create a new chat. If not, Raycast will prompt you with the previous role. Now, I switch between code assistance, writer, and some internal roles, and having to switch back and forth takes time. What if you call a new action, like "ai role dashboard," where you have a window with, let's say, six chat sections, and each section has a different role? I think this will be great!!!

Just learned about Raycast. The idea seemed interesting, but now that I saw this video, I assume it adds to the complexity of my work, not subtracts from it. It's not that with Raycast I can use seven apps instead of ten, rather, it's an eleventh app to juggle those ten a bit more seamlessly.

that’s fair! you can totally use Raycast in a pretty low key way, though - like i’d been doing the past 2 years before i joined the team 😅. not everyone has to be a power user like Thomas. may i ask what’s the kind of work that you do and how you think an app like Raycast could help you better?

The ⌥ shortcuts at the beginning of the video hurt me. I wouldn't be able to live without using the option key for special characters - it's one of the most beautiful and elegant features of macOS, that allows easy access not only to essential diacritics like ã or ç, but also to a wide selection of correct typographical and mathematical glyphs like … and ≠. I highly recommend anyone to hold option and press all the keys to see what comes out. And then do it again with option+shift. #leaveoptionalone
@raycastapp11 ай бұрын
Thomas here 👋 I mainly type in English or German and don't need many special characters. If I need some, I use our Emoji Picker, which includes the common Unicode symbols. Others on the team use "⌃" or "⌃ + ⌥" as modifier keys. The beauty of Raycast is that you can configure it to suit your needs.
