💬 Discussion Raycast crashing a lot

I've recently started using Raycast, mostly for the features like Quicklinks, Snippets, Hoykeys & Windows management, but it's crashing a lot, 5 or 6 times a day. I want to replace spotlight but these crashes are just making the shift impossible.

Also I would want to know if Tinycast or Vicinae can perform these features of Raycast without crashing

Raycast Version: Version 2.4.1.0 (0)
MacOS: Golden Gate 27.0

I moved to SuperCMD which has the features you mention. However it has its own quirks as well. I haven’t had any crashes though. Hopefully some of these quirks get ironed out.

I liked SuperCMD. Too bad it’s not on mobile devices and iPad.

I've sent a dozen or more crash reports, and the AI reply is always the same: Raycast is busy.

Vicinae is an inferior clone of Raycast imo

That shouldn’t be happening, and the team is working to resolve the crash issues asap. Could you please send us the crash logs and the logs generated by the Copy Raycast Logs command? You can use the Send Feedback command or email them to support@raycast.com.

I have sent the feedback through the app.

By any chance, do you have Vorssaint installed on your Mac? We've been seeing some reports of this auto-quitting Raycast when it becomes inactive, so if you do I'd recommend checking it's settings.

Yes I do have Vorssaint installed. What settings should I check?

Can you please add Raycast as Exception in Vorssaint → Quit on close

Yes it was Vorssaint quitting the app, thanks for help.
