This Week in Raycast — April 27 – May 3, 2026
A productive week — four new extensions aimed squarely at making your workflow faster, plus updates that bring Windows support to two more extensions, a noticeably faster Arc, and native macOS text replacements you can finally manage without opening System Settings.
Productivity
macOS Tweaks — by @gfazioli
Browse and toggle a curated catalog of 72 hidden macOS settings (Finder, Dock, Safari, animations, etc.) without dropping into Terminal. Includes a menu-bar command and a "My Tweaks" view that tracks what you've changed and lets you reset individually or all at once.
Backlog.md Manager — by @NickCrew
Native Raycast UI for Backlog.md, the markdown-based CLI project manager. List, create, search, and inline-edit tasks across multiple projects without leaving Raycast.
Figma Shortcuts — by @19arturd95
Search and browse every Figma keyboard shortcut from Raycast — handy if you live in Figma but haven't memorized the full keymap.
DocKit — by @zengtianli
Document-formatting toolkit for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files, with a focus on Chinese typography (quote pairing, punctuation conversion, unit symbols). Calls the DocKit Python CLI under the hood — useful if you regularly clean up bilingual documents.
Updates to existing productivity extensions:
- Color Picker: multi-color selection with a mode toggle — pick a palette in one pass instead of one-at-a-time.
- Cloudflare: zone, tag, and hostname cache purge, plus the ability to favorite sites for faster access.
- Arc: tab iteration switched to an AppleScript
whosefilter — noticeably faster on windows with many tabs. - GitHub: new "Download Repo Directory" command lets you grab a specific subdirectory or single file from any repo (public or private) without cloning the whole history.
- Text Replacements: new "Manage Text Replacements" command — search, add, edit, and delete native macOS text replacements from Raycast, with changes synced back to System Settings.
- Browser Bookmarks: Windows support added for Chromium browsers.
- Wispr Flow: Windows support added.
- Google Meet: new "profile refocus" command, plus a Dia clipboard bug fix.
- App Store Connect: new "View App Status" command.
- Hugeicons UI: icon bookmarking, folder organization, color and style selection, and Pro access via API key.
- Team Time: Hong Kong SAR and Macau SAR added to the cities list.
- Inspire HEP Search: new "Copy URL to Clipboard" action.
Worth a Look
Polidict — by @solomkinmv
Language-learning client for Polidict, aimed at advanced learners. Look up words, manage vocabulary in groups, and run spaced-repetition training (Quiz, Flashcard, Quiz Reverse) without leaving Raycast.
Wrappers for Other Services
subflow — by @ridemountainpig
Subflow is a subscription tracker for your recurring SaaS and streaming bills; this extension lets you view and manage your subscriptions from Raycast.
Similarweb — by @alexi-build
A Raycast client for Similarweb, the web-traffic analytics service that estimates rankings and audience demographics for any public domain. Pulls data for a typed-in domain or your active browser tab and stores a local history of past lookups.
WooCommerce Quicker — by @g-mai
Built for store owners who run WooCommerce, the open-source e-commerce plugin behind a large share of WordPress shops. Search orders, customers, and products across multiple stores from Raycast, with credentials validated against the WooCommerce API before saving.
Affine — by @yassineS
AFFiNE is an open-source workspace tool that combines docs, whiteboards, and databases — pitched as a Notion alternative. The extension searches and opens AFFiNE workspaces and documents, supports the affine:// scheme to open in the desktop app, and includes a setup command for the AFFiNE MCP server.
Remo — by @alfredmouelle
Connects Raycast to Remo, a notes service. Adds quick capture from clipboard, search, daily notes, and a pinned-notes menu bar command, plus an "Ask AI" command that runs over your notes.
GetNote — by @uncleblue
A Raycast frontend for GetNote, a note-taking service organized around knowledge bases. Search recent and saved notes, capture text or links, and use any of 13 AI tools to manipulate notes via Raycast AI.
Tails — by @iambtshft
Tails is a Cobalt-inspired media-downloader service that grabs publicly-available video, audio, and images from sites like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The extension wraps the Tails API for paste-a-link downloads, quick best-quality grabs, and a download history.
Update:
- Currency Exchange: UniRateAPI added as an alternate rate provider.
