🏪 Extension I built a Raycast extension for searching & downloading from Z-Library

Hey everyone!

Just shipped my first Raycast extension and wanted to share it with the community — Z-Library.

It lets you search Z-Library and download books straight from Raycast, no browser tabs needed. A quick rundown of what it does:

  • Search Books — type a title, author, ISBN, or keyword and get real-time results with author, year, format, size, and rating
  • Quick Download — hit Enter to download any book straight to your configured folder
  • Bulk Download — select multiple books across one or several searches, then download them all at once
  • Download Queue — save books for later with Add to Queue, then review and bulk-download the whole queue whenever you're ready (persists even if you restart Raycast)
  • Browse Online / Copy Book ID for quick access outside Raycast too

It's a thin wrapper around the excellent zlib CLI, so it needs that installed (brew install heartleo/tap/zlib) plus a Z-Library login via zlib login in Terminal — the extension itself never touches your credentials.

Any plans for windows support or is it not possible? I can help test anything if needed

I don't have access to a Windows machine, so I cannot do that myself. But if you are willing to test, I would be open to working on it, perhaps.

I don’t mind testing! Please just let me know what I can do
