How to compare the new lights from Apple to Raycast

There are all kinds of procedures listed outside the box. You can add the evaluation and reminder dates and adjust time adjustment devices. You can send text messages or start faceime calls. You can even set the keyboard shortcuts for any of these procedures.

It is also the exact type of something that RayCast has yet been able to. The difference is one of the implementation. Apple’s approach is currently currently operating only with Mac applications that implement the Spotlight feature. Currently, it is mainly limited to private Apple tools only, but this will change; According to Apple’s offer to developersThree -party requests will also be able to add executable procedures from inside the lights. I couldn’t find any other Apple applications that currently implement this, but I am sure that it will change with our approaching autumn.

Meanwhile, Raycast can be strengthened by user extensions that you can easily install from the built -in store. This has a negative aspect, mostly that if you want to connect the application, you will have to install the extension and configure it yourself. This is not difficult, though-the built-in store provides hundreds of these extensions, and you can install them with some key strikes. These extensions can also be connected to any service, not only with those that have Mac applications, which means only supporting web services such as Google documents. Many of these extensions offer features that you will never highlight, such as the menu icons dedicated to things such as calendar dates or the song that is currently played in Spotify. I can go ahead. Raycast approach is simply more flexible.

Currently, for power users, I think RayCast is the best option. This may change because more applications add support to the lights, especially given the fact that users do not need to install anything or prepare anything to get new potential in the spotlight.

The actual portfolio manager

Windows had a director of the portfolio for years – just click Windows-V And you will see a list of everything you copied recently. There have always been many third -party applications that give you a more powerful portfolio on Mac, including RayCast.

The new MacOS update adds this feature to the spotlight, making it easy to return and find this thing that I copied earlier today. It is the type of feature that you do not realize that you need to start to rely on it, and I am happy that MacOS finally offers it.

What does not highlight the raycast

With these new features, Spotlight is much stronger than before, but it is not a single alternative to RIX. The largest feature of Raycast on the spotlight, at this stage, is Raycast storeWhich makes the operator compatible with more applications and services more than the lights you will get for a long time.

But there are other features. RayCast can manage Windows, allowing you to set the keyboard shortcuts for things like establishing a window to the left or right side of the screen. It contains a built -in excerpt manager, allowing you to save things that find yourself re -recovery, so that you can paste them quickly. There is also a distraction tool called Focus. Raycast, over the years, added all kinds of features that were previously common parts of custom programs, and Apple is unlikely to copy them all.

The Raycast team, for their part, is not worried about the newly reinforced lights. in After x The company’s CEO, Thomas Paul Man, said that the new features will give users a taste to an application like RayCast. “People will encounter restrictions and want more bomber, the place where we enter,” he wrote.

I am not sure of this, but I look forward to seeing how everything develops. I will likely use both options for a while and see which is better.
