Changelog

You can now export Raycast’s settings and data using the Export Settings & Data command. The export includes, quicklinks, snippets, settings, extensions, hotkeys and aliases. The export can be used to transfer your setup to another PC by running the Import Settings & Data command and choosing the rayconfig file created during export.

Note: during the beta period the export format may change, so we can’t guarantee compatibility with older exports 🤞
