Reviewers overwhelmingly see Raycast as a fast, keyboard-first replacement for Spotlight that becomes central to daily Mac work. They repeatedly praise its extensions, scripts, snippets, clipboard history, notes, AI features, and ability to replace several smaller apps without breaking focus. Many say it beats or at least outgrows Alfred for their needs, though one user misses Alfred’s workflow builder. A few limits surface: setup can be tricky in places, AI pricing feels high to some, it is Mac-only, and one harsh review reports poor file search and uninstall issues.
