If you are on a Mac and still using Spotlight as your main launcher, you are leaving a ridiculous amount of speed on the table.
Raycast is the app I reach for more than anything else in this part of the Setup Kit. Not because it can do everything. Because it removes the little pauses between “I want to do this” and “the thing is open.”
What this chapter covers
- What Raycast is actually for
- Install it properly
- Stop digging through System Settings
- Snippets: stop retyping stable information
- Quicklinks: treat websites like apps
- Clipboard History: recover what you just lost
- Window management: stop dragging windows around
- Add features slowly
