Founder of Raycast here so obviously biased but you’ll be surprised. You get a working app one-shotted pretty much all the time. Sure if it is something more complex you might need a few more prompts. Just to give you some examples on what we’ve seen: - Our support team runs on Glaze apps to review Raycast extensions. It connects to GitHub, checks out code locally, gets realtime updates and so on. - The sound agency build a functioning synthesiser for the launch video. It works even with MIDI. - We’re about to cancel a team-wide subscription and replace it with a Glaze app.

Not everything is possible yet and sure more complex things need more prompts but you’ll be surprised what Glaze is capable of already. It’s day one…

I feel you! We thought about this and all apps will have a permission model. So you can limit it to specific file disk locations, domains for network requests, and so on.

The beta for Window is free. And well even on Mac most features are free: raycast.com/pricing

Most stuff is for free exactly for the reasons you mentioned.

You can use bring you own key for free

It’s a bit of a metaphor. It’s one app to control all your tools. A bit part of that is searching. So the app “casts rays” to find content.

Though yeah, bit farfetched maybe but also somewhat fitting.

We have basic window management now available like Left Half, Center, and so on. More to come!

We already have hundreds of extensions to integrate with Notion, GitHub, Slack and many other services. They all work on Windows as well. A whole community builds those extensions. And there is pretty much something new every day.

While we don’t have all features on Windows yet, we see this a nice uplift.

Pretty much all my Raycast extensions to open VS Code projects, set Slack status, etc.
