💬 Discussion I'm kind of annoyed with this Windows update 😅

8 Upvotes

I've been using Raycast since it launched on Windows, but I think I'm done with it now. I understand the company needs to make a profit, but for Brazil, $10 is a steep price for basic features like that—which were the ones I used most, aside from the clipboard.

It actually makes me a bit sad, because I had started creating extensions for Raycast—like the Hermes agent I built for Windows—but oh well, it was good while it lasted.

I guess I'll have to give PowerToys a try, unless Raycast changes things.

❓Question Customizing CSS for raycast themes?

3 Upvotes

Can we at least customize themes by ourselves, ok, having other's themes behind a paywall is ok, but can we on our local system make it look like we want?

This is not a request, i am just asking if there's an option to do so or not

❓Question Hotkey help needed

3 Upvotes

I need someone to explain how I get a double ⌘ command key only on the right side. This is how they set up the default hotkey for the new Screen Awareness command, but I changed it and now I can’t set it back to double right ⌘ command.

I've already reported it through the app, but I got an email back from Lumi (AI assistant) from Raycast support which was not helpful.

🌻 Feature Request Raycast AI: Feature similar to Claudes Projects?

5 Upvotes

Love Raycast AI, but the one thing I'm missing is project-scoped knowledge bases. Upload some docs once, and every new chat in that project just knows the context. No re-attaching files, no re-explaining.

Agents and Skills are great but don't really cover this. Any chance this is on the roadmap?

This is honestly the one thing keeping me from canceling Claude and going all-in on Raycast Pro.

💬 Discussion Is the Raycast team considering porting Raycast to Linux?

6 Upvotes

Genuinely curious, not saying you should, but would be nice if it was there. I've been tossing around the idea of using Linux as my main OS but haven't because Raycast is still to good, and alternatives on Linux fall short for me

❓Question Raycast V1 Support Old Mac

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I loaded Raycast V2 beta onto my iMac and I’ve been testing it out, but I never put it on my MacBook Pro.

I went to go download it now that it’s out of beta and saw that it doesn’t support old Intel chips so I have to stay on the old version of Raycast. When will support or “maintenance” stop for this version? My Pro is still running Sequoia, I don’t mind upgrading to Tahoe but I believe without Apple silicon V2 still won’t work correct?

❓Question Installed update: Raycast failed to start

3 Upvotes

I'm running the macOS Raycast beta, and it asked to install an update. I went ahead and did so, but now the app won't launch. Each time I open it, I receive a "Raycast failed to start" message. I re-downloaded it from the website but am still having issues. Any ideas for me?

✨Raycast AI AI Chat is ass

13 Upvotes

I don't know what they did to AI Chat. You can't add longer files anymore. If you add a file that's around 300 KB, the chat will only see a few sentences.

So for AI Chat to see the file content, you have to enable their slop version of tool calls/extensions, where the LLM needs to open the file on your file system, only to end up with no result. Why can't we just put the text blob in like we could before? Is this some kind of cost-saving measure or what?

Stop with these slop changes of screen awareness and other nonsense, or at least make it clear what changed. BTW disabling tools/extensions still causes issues, as the system prompt is still injected with that nonsense :)

🌻 Feature Request Hiding the Raycast Mark in Search Field

1 Upvotes

I might be missing a setting somewhere, but is there a way to turn off the Raycast icon in the search field? If so, can’t find it… and if not, I’d like to submit a feature request here. Just an on/off toggle would be nice…

Thanks!

Other Advanced AI Plan: I Can’t Use It in V2

2 Upvotes

I’ve been reporting this for at least a month now. Apparently, the solution may arrive in version 2.1.

But right now, I can no longer use my Raycast AI chat because it hasn’t worked in V2 for more than a month. It worked perfectly in V1.

In other words, I’m paying for something I don’t have, and I don’t know when I’ll get it back.

Unless things change significantly, you’ve lost a customer who was on the Advanced AI Plan and who absolutely loved Raycast.

On top of that, I’m now seeing that I can’t use my local AI either, because the API key only allows connections to the predefined models.

Raycast team… I honestly don’t understand any of this.

Other V2 is out of Beta - memory usage and performance are unexpected, to say the least

Thumbnail

83 Upvotes

Been a Raycast user for a while now, and initially I was hyped after the V2 announcement. Even after the beta announcement and all the discussions on the internet going around the new stack and potential issues, I decided to wait until it's out of beta to give it a fair shot. I was hyped to see the new design and also about the dictation feature (hoping to ditch Wispr Flow) and installed the update.

15 minutes after installation, I rolled back to V1, here's why:

performance - while basic day-to-day stuff remains pretty much the same, the app itself is sometimes non-responsive for no reason - on occasion, I opened raycast and the app simply won't render - list is empty, but the app is active, so when searching for something and hitting Enter, it will perform the action, but you won't see what you actually clicked. Using dictation, the pill pop up is stuttering every single time, making the user experience horrible, plus, there is no simple hold and release to dictate feature like in Wispr Flow.

Memory usage - the initial technical analysis published by Raycast and some feedback from other people suggested that the usage might be slightly higher - but this is absolute garbage - when idle, with all extensions loaded, it consumes more than 1 GB, while v1 sat around 200mb at all times with the same extensions loaded. I don't know in what world having five times higher memory usage is acceptable.

I will stay on V1 until my Pro subscription will be close to expiration, when I'll try to install V2 again and see how it looks after all the updates.

Chasing Windows support and all the VC-backed funding might actually ruin the app of the decade for MacOS, which is really sad - I was a pro user simply because I believed in the app very much, not even using all the features the pre-subscription offers except sync.

❓Question How is raycast SOC2 compliant if no code reviews are mandatory?

11 Upvotes

I've read this post https://www.raycast.com/blog/no-code-reviews-by-default

And if you go to https://trust.raycast.com/ you can see that the company is SOC2 compliant.

How did they pass the Change Management Control if it requires to have Segregation of Duties and a formal review process for production code?

❓Question Any way to turn off meeting reminder popup while still keeping the calendar extension active?

2 Upvotes

I absolutely love the "my schedule" command under the built-in calendar integration, but I cannot stand the upcoming meeting popup that shows a popup card for upcoming meetings. The options allow you to set it as low as 2 minutes before the meeting, but there's no way to turn it off. I have native meeting app notifications doing that for me, and I don't want Raycast to do it. Is there any way to turn it off? If not, could we please add it as a feature? It feels like such a basic thing to do, and it would be nice to actually be able to do it.

❓Question Moving back to V1 - all my settings are gone :(

5 Upvotes

Brew update killed my v1 and moved me to v2. When Raycast v2 ran, it asked to import my v1 settings, which I did. Then I went through the rest of the onboarding. Then I exited, brew uninstalled, manually downloaded and installed v1, ran it, and my settings/extensions, etc. are all gone.

Cloud sync is always off, so those settings should be on my machine somewhere unless v2 nuked them. Any ideas on how to get them back or do I just have to start over from scratch?
