    The polish isn't there, looks like it was made 10 years ago. Kinda slow.

    Comments about Raycast as an Alternative to Alfred

    Raycast’s biggest advantage over Alfred has to be its super extensive and powerful marketplace of third-party plugins that integrate directly into the launcher, letting you do things like manage your Notion notebooks. Plus, its AI features are really well done. In my opinion, it’s not just the best alternative to Alfred—it actually beats it in many ways.

    Raycast became my go-to launcher on macOS. Unfortunately, it doesn't support Linux (the inofficial implementations on GitHub just never worked for me) and on Windows you're forced to use the Windows Appstore (i.e. no plain and easy installer winget installation as promised on their home page: they seem to be eager grabbing your personal information or share it w/ M$). Disappointing company behavior, good product on macOS.
