Raycast
Press a key, type, and jump — apps, clipboard, and extensions.
What it is
Raycast is a launcher for Mac (and now Windows): open apps, clip history, window tiling, and a store of extensions. The core is free. Pro adds AI and cloud sync. If Spotlight feels empty, this is the next step. PowerToys is the Windows cousin.
