This Week in Raycast — July 20 – July 26, 2026

Twenty new extensions this week, including three separate front-ends for macOS screen-capture apps, plus a rebuild of Reddit Search after Reddit blocked its JSON API.

Productivity

Lumen — by @ParamoStudio

Scoped fuzzy file search across the folders you actually work in. Enter a workspace by alias to see its top level, then start typing to turn it into a recursive fuzzy search of that folder; fd and fzf do the work under the hood, with a streaming home-directory mode, extension and date filters, and no background indexing or daemon.

RPass — by @rxtsel

Browse, decrypt, edit, create, and sync a pass-compatible password vault from Raycast. Supports GPG encryption with agent unlock caching, built-in Git sync, OTP tokens, folder grouping, and password/passphrase generation.

Kesha Voice Kit — by @drakulavich

Dictate to your clipboard with fully local speech-to-text via the kesha CLI — no cloud API. The recording view shows a live signal meter and count-up timer, and auto-stops after a pause in speech, with a configurable duration cap as a backstop.

OpenSearch DevTools — by @Im-Tae

Query and manage OpenSearch clusters (the open-source search and analytics engine) without opening Dashboards. Includes a Console using Dev Tools syntax, a structured API explorer, a palette of common cluster commands, index search, a favoritable history of the last 100 queries, and multiple connection profiles with Basic Auth or AWS SigV4.

Mailto Link Generator — by @stefan-imbesi

Build a mailto: link from a form covering To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, and Body, with a live preview and character count. Copy the raw URI or an HTML anchor, or open a pre-filled draft in your default mail app, Gmail, or Outlook — with RFC 6068 encoding handled correctly (spaces as %20 rather than +, CRLF line breaks).

Snapzy — by @chkzz

Sixteen commands driving Snapzy, a macOS screenshot and screen-recording app, entirely from the keyboard: fullscreen/area/window/app capture, scrolling capture, OCR text capture, object cutout, screen and app recording, plus jumps into the annotator, video editor, cloud uploads, and capture history.

Tinker — by @joe-r-l

Three commands for the Tinker macOS capture app: open its area-selection flow, re-record the last area you selected, or copy the newest recording from its archive to the clipboard — without reaching for the menu bar. Requires Tinker 0.4.0 or later.

BetterCapture — by @qlaffont

Toggle recording and open your recordings folder for BetterCapture, a free, open-source macOS screen recorder. Since BetterCapture has no CLI today, Toggle Record prefers a bettercapture:// deep link and falls back to relaying your configured global shortcut via AppleScript.

BCUninstaller — by @AviralSaxena

A Windows-only front-end for Bulk Crap Uninstaller, the open-source bulk program uninstaller. Exports your installed applications through BCU-console.exe, then lets you browse, filter, queue, and batch-uninstall from Raycast, with optional leftover-registry cleanup (off by default).

Updates to existing productivity extensions:

  • Reddit Search: rebuilt on Reddit's public Atom feed after Reddit put its JSON endpoints behind a bot wall, which had broken every search. The rebuild adds a dedicated Search Subreddits command, recent searches and favorite subreddits, local filtering of loaded results, 5-minute result caching, and a cross-command rate-limit cooldown driven by Reddit's x-ratelimit-* headers. A follow-up fixes subreddit browsing, the deeplink argument, and a concurrent rate-limit race.
  • ScreenOCR: fix text extraction on macOS 26 (Tahoe) and macOS 27 (Golden Gate), and restore recognition languages that had gone missing.
  • Slack: thread replies can now be broadcast to the parent channel, and file uploads are fixed (signatures and permissions). Also gains AI tools for reactions, group DMs, and Huddle links.
  • Things: fix marking to-dos completed or canceled.
  • Confluence: new Create Whiteboard command.
  • Doorstopper: use Touch ID for the sudo prompt when it's configured, falling back to the password dialog when it isn't.
  • Windows Terminal: administrator sessions now open in a normal window, with an added non-quake admin action for people who have the quake-window preference on (elevated quake windows don't respond to Win+`).
  • Is It Alive?: parse Statuspage's embedded per-second outage data instead of counting any incident day as full downtime, which had shown claude.ai at ~59% rather than the official ~99.4%. Site creation is fixed as well.
  • Zed: make $USER available to the extension.

Worth a Look

Sir.golf — by @thejulez

Live PGA Tour, LPGA, and DP World Tour leaderboards with 30-second auto-refresh and per-player detail, plus the full tour schedule with majors badged, filters by tour or streaming service, and one-key Add to Calendar. Reads ESPN's public JSON API client-side — no account or API key.

Next Game — by @Glct26

Recommends what to play next from your Steam backlog by parsing Steam's local files — no API key, and nothing leaves your machine. Pick an intent (unplayed backlog, forgotten favorites, outside your usual genres, a mood, or solo/co-op), and each suggestion explains why it surfaced; a skip list hides games you're not in the mood for.

English Irregular Verbs — by @Oward-Studio

Look up the base, past simple, and past participle of English irregular verbs. Fuzzy search matches any of the three forms (typing went or gone finds go), UK and US spelling variants are both included, and an optional translation row covers 16 languages and feeds the search.


Wrappers for Other Services

Qobuz — by @kud

Qobuz is a hi-res music streaming and download store; this extension searches the catalogue, browses your favourites and playlists in a cover-art grid, and controls the desktop app from a menu-bar Now Playing command. It also converts a Spotify, YouTube Music, or Qobuz track link into the others, matching on ISRC where possible.

Descript — by @luarmr

A Raycast client for Descript, the audio and video editor that works by editing the transcript. Send Finder-selected media to a project as detached background uploads that survive closing Raycast, browse projects with a detail pane, run Underlord edit prompts, and watch job status from a menu-bar command.

DocuSeal — by @xmok

Connects Raycast to DocuSeal, an open-source document-signing platform. Search your templates and submissions without opening the web app.

Contra — by @agusdellaquila

Built for freelancers on Contra, the commission-free platform for independent contractors. Covers a finance dashboard (wallet balance, earnings by period, outstanding and past-due invoices), active projects, client messages, and invoice drafting with a preview step — plus a menu-bar widget for pending balance and unread messages. Auth is OAuth 2.0 PKCE against your own account.

Gather — by @SamuelPinho

Gather is a searchable library for visual design references — the screenshots, tweets, and UI inspiration you collect. The extension searches your library in a thumbnail grid, copies the image, source link, or a markdown handoff, and saves a new reference straight from your clipboard.

Jovida Daily — by @signalband

Manages todos from Jovida, a task app, without opening it. The list groups by Overdue / Today / Tomorrow / Later / Anytime with complete, reopen, edit, and delete actions; the Add Todo form covers due dates, reminders, priority, category, and subtasks; and a menu-bar command shows what's upcoming. Repeating todos are handled as occurrences, so completing one doesn't touch the series.

Bump Name Match — by @RobErskine

Baby-name discovery via BumpNameMatch. Search 17k+ names for meanings, origins, nicknames, and popularity, filter by origin and gender, save names to lists, and swipe through a match game that notifies you and your partner when you both like the same name.

Finnish Business Lookup — by @enurmela

Looks up Finnish companies against PRH YTJ open data — the shared registry run by the Finnish Patent and Registration Office and the Tax Administration. Search by name or Business ID (with normalization, so 01120389 resolves to 0112038-9) and see identity, status, classification, addresses, and active registers, with quick actions to open the YTJ listing, the raw JSON, or the company website.

Updates:

  • mymind: prepopulate saves from the clipboard. mymind is a private, auto-organizing bookmark and note library.
  • Capacities: add a Deadline field to Create Task. Capacities is an object-based note-taking app.
  • Remo: folders and trash now paginate as you scroll instead of stopping at the first batch, and search shows your 20 most recent notes before you type. Remo is a note-taking app for web and Raycast.
  • Teleport: fix the Login command for OTP MFA mode, with more reliable failure detection. Teleport is an open infrastructure access platform.
