I'm so excited for everybody to finally get their hands on this! It's been hard not being able to talk about it all this time, so proud of it all!
Such an awesome release; finally some software on Windows that's a delight to use. 👏👏👏

@itaih Thanks for your kind words and continuous support! Let everyone you know vote too, so we can achieve this goal 😀
This is a masterclass in reducing cognitive friction. The philosophy of shaving seconds off every digital task is brilliant—those small savings compound into massive gains in focus and productivity over time.
As someone who builds systems for habit formation, I deeply appreciate tools that design for effortless, immediate action.
Question for the team: What was the most surprising user behavior you observed that fundamentally shaped the evolution of the core workflow?

@patino_varavedo Thanks for the kind words!
Honestly, it's hard to pick just one(or even a few)! So much of how Raycast has evolved comes from observing what the community builds and how people actually use it.
If I had to highlight something: I've been consistently surprised by how people chain simple commands together in ways we never anticipated with deeplinks. What started as individual actions became these personal workflows that are unique to each person.
The other thing is how quickly "nice to have" becomes "can't live without." Features like Clipboard History or Window Management - Most people don't think they need them until they try them, then they become muscle memory within days.
The community has shaped much of what Raycast is today. Extensions we thought would be niche end up being essential for thousands of users, and vice versa - the same with extensions we didn't expect was possible! It's just awesome to see what the future bring and keeps us on the edge all the time 🙂

@timobechtel hahaha enjoy annoying them!
A very nostalgic video about the product) All the programs you included in the video, I’ve personally used before, starting with a Pentium 150 and Windows 95 :)
Congratulations on the launch!
Raycast is one of the best apps I’ve ever used. Since I installed it on my Mac, I haven’t been able to live without it, and I’m really happy that it has now arrived on Windows devices as well. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to finally upgrade their experience with their devices ♥
Welcome to the promised land windows users!
I've used @Raycast since I first tried a Mac many years ago, and it has only gotten better and more useful. It is, without question, the most important app in my daily work because it literally improves and expands the features of the apps I already use the most.
The gap between raycast and whatever Windows has now, start? My god, it's not even in the same world.

Could this be a Windows comeback?? Excited to give this a try!
