Great vid! I'm a super power user but still learned about the window layouts and pop to root thing. Love it! Thanks.

Command+Esc also goes to root!

I learned a few new tricks with Raycast. Thank you! The window layout option is great - this is making me consider getting a Pro license.

The custom window layouts is new to me, and I think it’s going to make me try Raycast again. Thanks for demo’ing it!

you don't have to buy subscription for window management features. there are free or one-time purchases like moom, rectangle and magnet

@MichaelAlderete Ай бұрын

@@deletedchanneI Oh, I already own Moom (v3), and other window managers, including free ones. None of them have ever really clicked for me. It was the specific design of the feature as demo'ed here by Matt that made me think that maybe Raycast's version would be something that _does_ click. I should give Moom 4 a try as well. Cheers!

I believe the last one (the browser extension) is more for enabling browser context on the AI Chats you mentioned in your first point. If you click the + button on the AI Chat window you can "attach" your web page like you did with that iPod image.

Matt, I'd love to watch a video about why you chose Vivaldi as your new main browser. I've been trying out different browsers (from Zed to Horse, and others), but I haven't found one yet that made me go "yep, no more Arc for me".

@StonedNoob Ай бұрын

Is it secure though? In regards with privacy? I’ve heard lot of people have concerns cause to use it to its full potential you need to let it have access to a lot of sensitive information and information in general.

@nskmodnar Ай бұрын

It’s open source. Plus all the extensions are open source and manually reviewed by the team

I've used Raycast for over a year. Can't live without it. I pay for Pro version to get the extra features and support the Raycast Company so they can continue to make Raycast great

@StuartGelin Ай бұрын

I'm curious to know how you're feeling about Vivaldi. Vivaldi was my browser of choice before arc and I actually started watching your videos shortly after I started using arc, but now that they've announced a second browser and had a major security incident, my old flame Vivaldi is looking real sweet again. But I'm having trouble getting used to not having separate profiles and not being able to swipe between spaces.

Is it really that better than Alfred? 🤔

@DeveshUba Ай бұрын

wondering the same! and no disrespect to the creator, but almost all this can be done in Alfred as well (besides the AI thing IMO)

@FBracht Ай бұрын

So much better. And this is coming from someone who was at a 3 year Powerpack streak with Alfred when started using Raycast.

@Mr.C0ffee Ай бұрын

@ care to elaborate a little more please. I’m also a long (2 years) Alfred user

@FBracht Ай бұрын

@@Mr.C0ffee It’s really hard to elaborate on succinctly on this because Raycast casts such a wide net, but the main point for much are: 1. The UI. Raycast is pixel-perfect across the board, looks great, and as a result it also feels great to use. There’s a million little details, but the UI design here makes the software look and feel much less complex than it really is because it’s so thoughtfully designed. 2. The Extensions. I don’t even remember if Alfred had easily installable custom extensions, but Raycast has hundreds of them, each made by another regular user, for all kinds of extremely niche purposes. Maybe I’m a weirdo, but browsing for new extensions and trying some of them out is super fun for me, and really illuminates how effortlessly versatile Raycast is. 3. The paid version is better. On Alfred, I was a Powerpack user because the free version felt limited. On Raycast, I fluctuate between the Pro and free versions depending on my needs. (Right now I’m on free after paying for almost a year, because I’m experimenting and bouncing between different AI tools and they all cost about $20/month.) Whenever I’m not paying for Pro, I lose AI Chats and a few other really great features, but crucially I don’t feel locked out of anything that makes Raycast Raycast. There are so many features they could lock to Pro users and they don’t, which is commendable.

I was a huge Alfred fan for many years and up until the beginning of this year I was running both, but found myself drawn more and more to Raycast. I t has a lot more features built in and keeps improving all the time. At the same time Alfred really hasn’t changed much. I really like Raycast’s approach and interface, much more than Alfred now
