Open All Articles for the complete local archive. On first launch, it loads RSS pages up to the configured retention and safety limits. The Return key action, initial article filter, retention period, and page size can be configured under Settings → Extensions → Techgedöns.de.
Background Refresh
Run Refresh Articles once or enable Background Refresh in that command's Raycast settings. Raycast will then run it silently about once per hour. The command subtitle shows the last successful refresh time or a failure state. Scheduling is controlled by Raycast and the operating system, so the exact time can vary.
Data Source
The article lists use only the public RSS feed at https://tchgdns.de/feed/; no credentials are required. Ask Techgedöns sends the question and excerpts from matching public articles to Raycast AI, which must be available for the user's Raycast account.
