@robb Super interested if you will stick to Raycast.

I have been using Alfred for more than 10 years now. I like the modern look of Raycast, but the last time I tried it, it still felt slow compared to Alfred.
Maybe I also just have to switch the shortcuts and force to use it more.

(Also: Great picture in the blog post)

@stefanzweifel @robb I've been using Raycast for a year. It has completely replaced Alfred for me.
Also, AI integration inside Raycast is truly the secret weapon. I thought it was a gimmick - how wrong I was.

@regis Interesting! I also think the AI stuff would just be a gimmick for me and something I will barely use.
Gonna give it a test run next week. :)

@stefanzweifel I thought so too.

It's actually so useful. At work, I use it multiple times per day (I have a job where I have to write a lot of emails and ideas).

@robb I’m over here still using LaunchBar. I need to check out Raycast.

@robb Hey Robb - I used Launchbar for 17 years before switching to Raycast. My 10 favorite features. https://amerpie.lol/2024/04/25/my-favorite-raycast.html

@amerpie I knew I'd seen this post but couldn't remember who wrote it. This is great, thank you.

@robb I can't believe it happened.

On the toggle part, a fair few of them are built into Raycast by default - searching "toggle" gives me the ability to toggle dark mode, bluetooth, fullscreen, mute etc

@lewis Huh, so it is. Well that was easy.

No wi-fi though, will have to look in the store to see if there's an extension.

@robb Looks like there are a couple, but also I imagine your Alfred workflows would be transferrable too if you'd rather keep them all in one place
