Changelog

A brand new Calculator. We rebuilt the calculator from scratch. It’s 60x faster and uses 65% less memory, and it understands a lot more. You can ask about the weather, track flights, look up any place and use many more units, functions and phrases. Learn more about the new Calculator on the Raycast Manual.

✨ New

• Calculator (Weather): Ask with weather in Paris, weather tomorrow, weather in 4 hours or London feels like, and use the values in calculations, like temperature in Paris in fahrenheit
• Calculator (Flights): Track a flight by its number, like flight BA117
• Calculator (Places): Look up any place by name, not just big cities, like time in Chamonix or distance from Chamonix to Paris
• Calculator (Dates & Time): Week numbers (week 44 2026), time left (days left in this month, hours left in today), days since march, time zone abbreviations (4:00 PT in UTC) and clock math in other places (time in Brisbane + 4)
• Calculator (Functions): e, round(23.456, 1), function-style lists like sum(1, 2, 3) or max(2 hours 30 min, 200 min), rounding to steps (3.3 to nearest quarter), fractions (1.75 as improper) and any base up to 36
• Calculator (Money): Tips, tax and VAT (15% tip on $80, 20% vat in 120) and bill splitting (25% off $60 split 3)
• Calculator (Units): Dozens of new units, physical constants (speed of light in km/s), chemistry (molar mass of C6H12O6), running pace (5:00 min/km in km/h), download times (transfer 1 TB at 100 Mbps), musical notes (c4 to hz) and text functions (first 10 characters of "hello")
• Organizations: Copy an organization's invite link straight from Settings → Organizations with the new Copy Invite Link button

💎 Improvements

• Auto Dark Mode: Added a Pause After Manual Changes option that keeps an appearance you choose yourself until you change it back or the next scheduled switch, with a Resume action to restart the schedule right away
• AI: Updated design when dragging files into a chat
• Calculator: Improved accuracy. Discounts always subtract, tips always add, 15% decrease from 813 subtracts, unit conversions use exact factors, and negative times and lengths keep their sign.
• Dictation: Background audio options now include pausing and lowering audio, instead of solely just muting it.
• Focus: Duration fields understand more inputs, like 45m, 1:30, until 3pm or by friday
• Memory Usage: Reduced memory usage under the hood by about 25%.
• Root Search: When entering text in a field directly in the action panel (like setting an alias, renaming a clipboard entry/file, etc), we now shake the window when attempting to submit an empty value
• Search Arguments (Design): Refreshed design with the command icon and larger fields and fonts, and better use of space so you can see more of your inputs
• Search Arguments (Errors): Errors now only show when you submit
• Search Arguments (Placeholders): The command name now shows as a placeholder next to arguments in every view that uses them, like Search Quicklinks, Snippets, Scripts and AI Commands

🐞 Fixes

• Account: Fixed a sign-in or sign-out sometimes being undone by a background refresh
• AI: Fixed MCP servers you stopped while they were connecting starting again
• AI Chat: Fixed sidebar rows appearing in incorrect positions and chats not restoring correctly after unarchiving
• Calculator: Fixed the time in another time zone showing your local date instead of that place’s date
• Clipboard History: Fixed an issue where the “Paste Sequentially” command wouldn’t retain all representations, thus sometimes dropping links
• Cloud Sync: Fixed sync not connecting after joining a VPN that uses a PAC proxy
• Extensions: Fixed a crash when an extension cancelled a network request
• Extensions: Fixed missing top/bottom padding in the detail view metadata panel
• Extensions: Fixed wrong ellipsis cutoff in detail view metadata when an icon is present
• Hotkeys: Fixed modifier keys sometimes staying stuck after an interrupted hotkey gesture
• Hotkeys: Fixed keyboard input staying blocked across the system if Raycast crashed while recording a hotkey
• HUD: Fixed an issue where huds from the main window would sometimes not adapt to the current appearance (light/dark) making the text unreadable
• Root Search: Fixed a bug where pressing escape to close a search argument dropdown would sometimes dismiss the window
• Script Commands: Fixed .bat scripts in folders with spaces failing when an argument needed quoting. Arguments are now passed more safely, and a missing interpreter shows a clear error.
• Snippets: Fixed placeholders not being replaced when a link split them or when they were inside a link’s URL. Nested snippets now keep their formatting and links too.
• System: Fixed Raycast moving to another monitor when opened again while already focused
• System: Fixed some windows, like apps launched from the Microsoft Store or the Open With dialog, not coming to the front when activated from Raycast
• System: Fixed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth commands sometimes failing to load after waking from sleep
• UI: Fixed an issue where very long tags could overflow the tag picker
