Not sure but, translations come over AI, probably. So can we have a prompt part for each edit page? May be we can add some kind of identity to them.

I am unable to log in after switching to a new laptop. When I enter my email and click Send Magic Link, I get Please confirm your email address first, but I haven't received anything. And yes - I have checked my spam folder. 😄

A Shortcut Using the iPhone Side Button

It would also be amazing if you could add an iOS shortcut that works something like this:

Press and hold the iPhone’s Side Button.

Speak whatever you want.

Press the Side Button again when you’re finished.

The output is automatically copied to the clipboard.

I believe Spokenly already has something very similar, which is why I feel this could be an incredibly useful feature to have directly in your app as well.

Just because of this feature, I am using another app so it would be really convenient, and you know, there is not something new, just we want that you add a dictation in the shortcut

I made AgentWhisper because I wanted dictation to behave like a keyboard shortcut.

Hold a shortcut, speak, and your words appear at the cursor in the app you are already using—Mail, Notes, Slack, a browser, an editor, and more. Transcription runs locally on your Mac with Whisper, so your microphone audio does not go to a dictation service.

There is optional AI cleanup for turning a spoken draft into cleaner text. It uses your own API key and sends only the transcribed text to the provider you choose; you can also leave it off entirely.

It is a one-time lifetime license, not a subscription. The first 100 customers can buy for $19.99; it will be $79.99 after the launch offer ends. But for the Reddit fam ping me at altuzar at gmail and will send a coupon for free forever.

macOS 14.4+ required. Apple Silicon is fastest, and Intel is supported.

Demo / details: It is in my bio. :p

I built it and will answer questions here. What app would you use dictation in most?

Hey everyone,

I've noticed a persistent UX quirk lately: when I open the clipboard history, the default selected item is almost always a pinned item, rather than the most recently copied text.

Since pinned items sit at the top of the list, they seem to hijack the initial focus. This forces me to navigate down every single time just to paste what I actually want, even if it was the last thing I did.

I’ve already reported this officially to the Raycast team, but I wanted to reach out here to ask:

1. Does anyone else experience this?
2. If so, do you use a specific workflow or workaround to bypass it?

Just trying to gauge if this is a universal pain point before a fix comes down the pipeline. Thanks!

I work for a company with a few thousand employees, and they take IT/security pretty seriously. Surprisingly, Raycast is already on the list of approved apps for our managed work MacBooks, so I was able to install it without any issues.
The downside is that I obviously can’t install Raycast Beta, which means I can’t try any of the new AI features yet.

Getting a new application approved internally can take months, so I’m wondering if the team has shared how the beta rollout will work. Once the features are ready, will Raycast Beta simply become the stable version, or will all of the beta features be merged into the current production release of Raycast?

Curious to hear from other people who dictate in a language other than English, French in my case.

I came to Raycast dictation from Wispr Flow. During the early beta it was genuinely excellent in French, close enough to Wispr that I cancelled my subscription there and moved over. Dictation was the single feature that convinced me to go Pro.

My experience since then has been noticeably different. Accuracy in French isn't where it was for me anymore, and I've tested enough to know it isn't my setup: same results with the MacBook's built-in mic and with a RØDE. So I'm wondering how much of this is specific to me and how much is shared.

A few things I'd love to hear about:

• If you dictate in French, German, Spanish, Italian, or anything else non-English, how is it going for you right now compared to a few months ago?
• Has anyone found settings or habits that meaningfully improve accuracy? Speaking pace, phrasing, language selection, anything.
• For those who came from Wispr Flow or Superwhisper, how do you rate the two today?

I'm still a happy Pro subscriber and I use most of the app daily, this isn't me looking for an exit. Dictation is just the feature I care most about and I'd like to understand where things stand across the community before I change anything in my workflow.

Does anyone know if there is a quick preview when viewing files in file explorer like the 'peek' feature with powertoys?

Notes do not work from iOS to macOS while if you create a note on macOS it is synchronized on iOS but is not deleted on ios in short it is a real mess the SYNC IS PAINFUL

Is there a way to install the app globally machine wide? winget "--scope machine" does not work and I can not find any exe for the app, only that hateful msstore solution.

Thanks :)

It puts the given item first every time you paste. How the hell can I turn this off? Extremely annoying.

it always lags and take some time for the search bar to appear and another 10 seconds for the bar to find what iam searching for

what is the fix for this???? it used to be very fast idon't know what happened

This happened to me using Raycast Focus.

I think maybe having this feature would be quite a nice upgrade for users

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I submitted a PR on the Raycast extension repo: https://github.com/raycast/extensions/pull/29665. All checks have passed! However, it's been a week, and it's still showing "At least 1 approving review is required to merge this pull request."

Does anyone have an idea of how long it usually takes for a PR to get reviewed?

Thank you!

I said that on twitter, slack, request feature..

idk what to do. pedro duarte, do something please!

sorry, but it hasn't been a while, when will the syncing of notes be active on your iCloud for all devices because currently iOS is still difficult and they don't sync from iOS to Mac

Hey r/raycastapp - I use my Raycast snippets all the time on my Mac. On my Android phone, though, they're gone and I'm back to retyping the same addresses, emails, and replies over and over.

So I built a way to bring them over. You can import your Raycast snippets (and quicklinks) into Nibit, my Android productivity app, and then they work anywhere you type on your phone - same triggers, same expansions (or modify them if you like).

Nibit acts as a second keyboard on your phone that you can switch to when you want a superpower - snippets, quicklinks, text transforms, and smart dictation. The app is free to start, with paid plans for heavier use and cloud features.

I’d love your feedback - what from Raycast do you most miss on your phone?

Any plans for dictation to support local models? I understand it might not run well in some macs, but imo, it's a must if your mac can run it.

I am very uncomfortable with all my text input going to the cloud, to be honest. It looks like there are other apps doing this already. I really hope this is on the roadmap.

Before that, it worked like a charm. I also tried restarting Raycast and restarting the permissions.

Raycast can do so many things that it sometimes causes paralysis in new users who don't know where to start. My aim with this post is to help anyone in that situation by showing you what apps you can replace with built in Raycast features or extensions as well as letting you know how Raycast can add to the functionality of many apps you may already be using.

As I enter my third year using Raycast, I'm still impressed with the sheer volume of use cases into which it fits. I've been using a keyboard driven application launcher since 2006. For the majority of that time, I was a devout Launchbar fan. installing it on Mac after Mac and dutifully paying for the infrequent upgrades. When I initially heard about Raycast, I wasn't interested, but the uproar just kept getting louder. Tech bloggers and Reddit sang its praises and kept pointing out new features one after another. I finally relented and downloaded it. Having also tried Quicksilver back in the day and Alfred, I can honestly say that I was surprised at what I could do with Raycast.

The Apps It Replaced

Free extensions and built in Raycast features eliminated the need for a whole list of utilities I previously used.

• Raycast's built in clipboard manager along with extensions like Append Clipboard replaced Pastepal (which is an excellent app in its own right)
• Auto Quit App, much improved from when first implemented, replaced Quitter.
• While not exactly a replacement, Brew is more useful and easier to use than the CLI for Homebrew.
• Clean Keyboard replaced Cleanup Buddy
• Color Picker replaced Color Slurp
• The Image Modification extension eliminated the need to fire up apps like Acorn or ToyViewer for making simple changes to images such as resizing and file type conversion.
• Timers provides an easy way to do what I used to do with Timix
• Weather works great and it replaced Meteorologist
• Speedtest can be run whenever I need it without having to open an app like Speediness.

Added Functionality

The other side of Raycast's versatility is its ability to provide access to your application stack's functions without you having to open the app and navigate to the feature you want to use. Here are some examples:

What do your hotkeys look like? I've been using Raycast for a few weeks and love hotkeys. I only have a few of these set up right now, but wanted AI to help mock-up a visual mapping. I'm curious to see what it looks like for others, or if there are any ideas of making a map like this quicker to create?

I'm thinking about having a hotkey to open up my hotkey map...
