Winutils (Raycast extension)

This Raycast extension provides a single command to launch the WinUtil script from ChrisTitusTech: https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil

It runs the same installer/bootstrap command used by WinUtil and elevates a PowerShell process to run the remote script.

What it does

• Runs the WinUtil bootstrap command which downloads and executes the WinUtil script from the project's GitHub URL.
• Displays simple HUD notifications while launching and on success/failure.

Security / privacy note This extension executes a remote script fetched from the internet. Review the script at the WinUtil repository before running. Do not run remote scripts you do not trust.

Usage (development)

1. Install dependencies:

pnpm install

2. Run the extension locally in Raycast (dev mode):

pnpm run dev

3. The command winutils will appear in your Raycast commands list (mode: no-view). Executing it will attempt to launch WinUtil.

Build & publish

• Build: pnpm run build
• Publish to Raycast store: pnpm run publish

Notes

• Platform: Windows only
• Notifications use showHUD (simple text HUD messages). The extension elevates PowerShell to run the installer and therefore will trigger a UAC prompt.
