Raycast

If you have a Mac and don't have it, you're crazy.

What I like about it

Once upon a time I thought the default MacOS spotlight was an efficient tool. That is until I discovered Raycast, which is a hundred times more responsive, offers external integrations with basically all software I use, and is absolutely fine even in its free version.

What I don't like about it

The only issue I have with Raycast is that extension require one extra step to be activated. Say for example that you install the Google Translate and want to translate something on the fly. You'll need to open Raycast, then open the "Quick Translate" function, then you can translate. If there was no extra step, it'd be a dream, but it still gets the full 5 stars.

Raycast is an alternative to
