My favorite feature is Quick AI. I use it for disposable AI conversations when I want to quickly proof-check info or rewrite something. I do not want random one-off queries to pollute the memory built from meaningful conversations, so Quick AI feels like an incognito mode for AI. And of course, Clipboard History is another essential.
I have an OCD-level habit of keeping my bin clean, so I set an alias for Empty Trash as et and clear it instantly. I do not like the native WhatsApp app for Mac, so I keep WhatsApp as a Quicklink and open it only when I need it. I also have some terminal scripts I used to hate running step-by-step, so I automated them with Script Commands. My most-used Snippets are my email addresses and phone number.
Team Time is the first item in my favorites because I work with teams in three different locations, so I check it before setting up a meeting or sending a message. Typing Practice is my next favorite. I started proper touch typing last year with a goal of 60 WPM, reached 32 WPM, and carried that goal over into this year.
I use a pattern with aliases: first letter of the app + function name. For example, in Downloads Manager I use aliases like cdown, ddown, mdown, odown, pdown, and sdown.

Building extensions I can use for myself is fun, and Raycast feels like a mini productivity-focused operating system inside Mac.
