Raycast Pro 1.104.24

Raycast Pro

A keyboard-driven launcher for Mac that opens apps, runs commands, searches files, and connects to third-party services from one command bar—positioned as a Spotlight replacement with a developer-first extension ecosystem.

Invoke Raycast with a global hotkey, type a few characters, and jump to apps, system actions, calculator results, emoji, calendar events, or Store extensions for GitHub, Jira, Linear, and hundreds of other tools. The free tier covers core launcher features, a three-month clipboard history, window management, snippets, and fifty trial AI messages according to Raycast. Pro unlocks unlimited Raycast AI, cloud sync across Macs, unlimited clipboard history, custom themes, unlimited Notes, translator tools, and custom window layouts.

Everyday Mac workflow

Root Search replaces scattered menu digging with fuzzy matching across commands, quicklinks, and installed extensions. Clipboard History recalls past copies with optional paste-sequentially shortcuts. Snippets expand boilerplate text; File Search locates documents; Focus blocks distracting sites during deep work. AI Chat, Quick AI on Tab, and custom AI Commands bring multiple LLM providers into the same interface, with optional bring-your-own-key support for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google APIs without a Pro subscription per Raycast documentation.

Pro features and platform scope

Raycast Pro starts around eight dollars per month billed annually and includes cloud sync so snippets, quicklinks, and settings follow you between Macs. MCP server integration, AI Extensions that @-mention apps, meeting auto-transcribe with Granola, and chat branching arrived in recent 1.10x releases documented on the official changelog. Raycast also ships for Windows and iOS under one account, though this card targets the macOS desktop build. macOS 13 Ventura or later is required for current Raycast versions.

Licensing and fit

Raycast fits power users and developers who live in the keyboard and want one hub instead of Alfred plus separate AI and clipboard utilities. Teams can share extensions and snippets on higher tiers; enterprise adds SSO. Pro is optional if you only need launching and free extensions without unlimited AI or sync. Build 1.104.24 is the requested version; Raycast published changelog entries through 1.104.0 at research time with no separate notes for build 1.104.24.
