Raycast — long a macOS staple — is now available on Windows. It replaces the Run dialog and Windows Search with a fast, keyboard-driven launcher that does far more than just open apps.

You get clipboard history, snippets, a calculator, unit converter, window management, and a growing library of community extensions for GitHub, Linear, Spotify, and dozens of other tools. The AI features (Pro) let you query Claude or GPT from anywhere on your desktop.

If you’re coming from Mac and lived in Raycast there, you’ll feel right at home. If you’ve never used it, it’s the productivity multiplier Windows has always been missing.
