The article details the author's personal Raycast configuration, covering their installed extensions, custom scripts, hotkeys, and workflow optimizations for improving productivity on macOS.
Background
- **Raycast** is a macOS productivity tool that replaces the built-in Spotlight search with a faster, extensible launcher. It can open apps, search files, run calculations, and — most importantly — execute community-built "extensions" (like creating a GitHub issue or searching Notion) without leaving the keyboard.
- **Frederik B. (the author)** shares how he uses Raycast's Quicklinks, Hotkeys, Snippets, and extensions to minimize mouse use and speed up development work. His setup is opinionated but representative of a "power user" approach common among software engineers, designers, and writers who optimize their desktop workflow.
