I was inspired by @chrismessina to build my own Raycast extensions after he released his own! I have been using Raycast a lot more thanks to a gentle nudge from @jakecrump (and @Raycast's latest AI releases), so I knew I wanted to build my own Raycast extension at some point.
There was a lot of news about Cyberpunk for Mac released and I wanted to search if there was a deal for it on PC. I instinctively went to search Raycast .but it wasn t there. So my extension idea was born!
My goal was simple: make it easier to hunt for video game deals right from the Raycast command bar. What followed was a rapid journey of prototyping, debugging, and learning. I m excited to share what I learned and hope it will encourage more makers to ship their ideas. You can view my IsThereAnyDeal (ITAD) Extension on GitHub here! I will launch it when it's approved on the Raycast store :) I'll publish a more in-depth, nerdy guide later. But for now...here's my experience building a Raycast Extension!
Raycast removes context switching from your daily workflows. Stop jumping around browser tabs to perform simple tasks. Instead, use a few keystrokes to control your tools. Integrated with Jira, GitHub and G Suite amongst others. Extendable with scripts.
Stop fighting your computer. Raycast puts everything at your fingertips.
After 5 years on Mac, Raycast is now on Windows. Launch apps instantly, search files in real-time, access hundreds of extensions like GitHub or Notion, and get AI answers. All from your keyboard.

Raycast is the one-stop solution to enhancing productivity on a Mac. We’re excited to bring this experience to companies with Raycast for Teams. Share Commands, Quicklinks, and Snippets across your organization to speed up internal workflows.
Hot off the press! @Raycast for iOS just got "its biggest update yet." Dictation, AI commands, Snippets, and Quicklinks are now accessible from the keyboard.
I use @Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet when coding and @OpenAI's o3-mini when speed matters. Curious what works best for the community. Over to you! What model are you using and why?
Edit 2025-07-30: Raycast just introduced Auto Models. "Let AI choose the best model for the job at hand." Join the discussion here
macOS Tahoe is here with many UI and design changes. This update includes some design tweaks in Raycast such as Liquid Glass controls in AI Chat and Raycast Focus.
