This was the year that I added Raycast to my Mac setup. From the minute I started using it, it was indispensable. Tasks that used to take several seconds or minutes I can now complete with a couple keystrokes saving me literally hours of time over the course of the year.

As a replacement for Spotlight on your Mac, Raycast is a power tool that greatly enhances my efficiency. I started by adding all manner of shortcuts to apps and web apps I use everyday. Then I added my own Bash scripts for things like saving images for the web, accessing quick links to my appointment calendars, and managing my notes in Obsidian. I’ve ended this year seeing my first custom extension published on the Raycast Store.
