Changelog

We’re live! Today, we’re making Raycast for Windows available for everyone. While we keep the beta label for now, we’re excited for you to try it out.

Your computer should feel like everything is at your fingertips. That's why we built Raycast, and now it's on Windows. We made sure it feels at home, with familiar shortcuts and a design that fits right in. Quick AI is free during the beta, and we're just getting started.

🎊 Confetti

Celebrate with us by running the new Confetti command. A fun background story to this command is that Thomas (our CEO) made this after Sandy (People Ops Manager) rejected his actual confetti cannon purchase, so he decided to build his own. It's fun and Sandy approves! 🎉

⚡ Snippet Expansion 

The true power of snippets is here. Type faster by using snippet expansion to insert your commonly used text. Simply add a keyword to your Snippets, and when you type this keyword we will automatically replace it with your Snippet text.

✨ New

• Clipboard History: Pro users can now keep history for 6 months, 1 year or an unlimited duration.
• Authentication: Removed the required login step before getting started.
• Import Settings & Data: You can now import your settings and data from macOS in Windows. Use the Export Settings & Data command on macOS, transfer the rayconfig file, then use the Import Settings & Data command on Windows. Currently import supports Quicklinks, Snippets and some settings.
