This Week in Raycast — July 27 – August 2, 2026

An unusually large batch — thirty-two new extensions, including a run of saved-session launchers (Royal TSX, HeidiSQL, PuTTY) and more Windows-side coverage.

Productivity

File Tidy — by @fanhefeng

Sorts a messy folder — Downloads, Desktop, a memory-card dump — into Type/Year-Month archives, showing the full plan before anything moves. Photos and videos are dated by EXIF capture date, duplicates are detected byte-for-byte (size, then head/tail hash, then SHA-256) and quarantined rather than archived twice, and Undo Last Tidy reverses a run exactly from its manifest. Runs on macOS and Windows.

Apple Container — by @DaviReisVieira

Manage the Linux containers, images, and volumes created by Apple's open-source container CLI. Covers start/stop/restart/kill, logs, interactive shells in Terminal, image pull/tag/prune, volume CRUD, daemon status and disk usage, plus a menu-bar running count — with recovery screens when the service isn't running or the binary isn't found.

Meeting Room Check — by @ticsiii

Shows which meeting rooms are free right now, grouped by floor, with live availability from Google Calendar's freeBusy API — free rooms show how long they're free for, occupied ones how long until they open up. Book one for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour, or exactly until its next meeting, and it creates a real calendar event with the room invited.

Anvil — by @Alexminator99

Jump straight to any tool in the Anvil macOS developer toolbox via anvil:// deep links — around 45 direct commands covering JSON, JWT, Base64, timestamps, regex, UUID, hashing, text diff, subnet math, cURL-to-code, QR codes, and the various beautifiers. Also includes a searchable command palette and clipboard actions that format JSON or decode Base64 in place.

Design File Finder — by @yusoufu

Finds .prproj, .psd, .psb, .ai, and .aep files across mounted drives and sorts them by recency. The scan is hybrid — Spotlight (mdfind) on indexed volumes, a pruned filesystem walk on the ones Spotlight never touched — so files on external drives don't go missing. Filter by app, scope the search to specific folders, and open, reveal, or copy the path.

TaskNotes — by @robinradx

Search, create, complete, and reopen TaskNotes tasks — the markdown-based task plugin for Obsidian — across one vault or several. It reads each vault's .obsidian/plugins/tasknotes/data.json for the real settings (tasks folder, field mapping, filename format, defaults) rather than making you re-enter them, and includes natural-language quick capture.

Reflect Open — by @jaseemts

Appends a line to today's daily note in Reflect Open, the local-first open-source note app, optionally as a task and/or timestamped. Captures write directly into the graph's capture inbox, so nothing launches or focuses Reflect — if the app is closed the note queues and drains next time it opens.

Royal TSX — by @carceneaux

Search and open connections from Royal TSX, the macOS remote-connection manager, with multi-word filtering and your last ten connections pinned to a Recent section. When the search matches nothing saved, an Ad Hoc Connection item lets you connect straight to a typed hostname.

HeidiSQL Sessions — by @THEN00P

Search and launch saved sessions from HeidiSQL, the open-source database client for MariaDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server. Auto-detects the executable (including portable Windows installs), reads native macOS settings, and badges each session with its database type.

PuTTY Sessions — by @THEN00P

The same idea for PuTTY on Windows: search saved sessions and launch them, optionally maximized, with executable auto-detection and an action to open PuTTY without picking a session first.

Otty — by @nightsu

Six no-view commands for the Otty terminal — open the current Finder directory in a new tab, new window, new tab, open a given directory, run a shell command, or open an SSH target. Everything runs through Otty's CLI, configured in extension preferences.

WHost — by @AB-programming

Windows-only manager for the hosts file: keep named profiles of IP-to-hostname mappings and toggle a whole profile on or off with one keystroke, with ipconfig /flushdns run automatically after every change. Only a managed block inside the file is rewritten, so existing entries like localhost are left alone.

ScreenLex — by @chunkithwang

Nine commands for ScreenLex, a macOS screenshot and on-screen translation app: capture an area, window, or full screen; translate the text in any of those; or jump to the main window, history, or settings. The extension only dispatches screenlex-v1:// deep links — it never reads or stores screenshots, recognized text, or credentials.

Glimpse — by @LegendarySpy

Drives the CLI of Glimpse, a macOS dictation app. Search past transcriptions, copy or paste your last dictation, transcribe a file or the Finder selection, browse and export the library, switch speech model, and manage the custom dictionary. Free tier covers reads; commands that write or edit need a license.

Links Folder — by @francescopioparadiso

Groups saved links into folders and opens every link in one with a single Enter — a keyboard-driven version of a browser bookmarks bar. Folders and links live in a JSON file you can point at your own path.

Nepali Typing — by @kshitijsubedi

Converts romanized Nepali to Devanagari and pastes it into the focused app. The offline transliteration engine works with no network; when online it also offers ranked candidates from Google Input Tools, plus English-word lookup by meaning (⌘T) and an in-extension cheatsheet.

Quran Quick Insert — by @yshalsager

Searches bundled Quran text offline and copies or pastes ayahs as plain text, Imlai text, Markdown, or HTML. Direct references and ranges work as queries (2:255, 2:255-257), with configurable text and reference styles, optional letter simplification, regex search, and harakat matching.

Updates to existing productivity extensions:

  • Linear: My Issues gains a search-bar dropdown for Assigned, Created, and Subscribed, matching the sub views in the Linear app — it previously only ever showed Assigned. Subscribed is a new query and honors the existing Hide Redundant Issues preference; the dropdown deliberately resets to Assigned on each launch.
  • Aerospace: the visible launch delay is gone — shell-env spawned a full login shell to resolve $PATH on every invocation, and the binary is now located by checking known Homebrew, /usr/local, and nix paths asynchronously, with a preference for custom install paths. Every spawnSync call became async execFile with real loading states, and the TOML parser was swapped to smol-toml so TOML 1.1 configs parse.
  • JWT Decoder: new JWT Debugger command — a token.dev-style workbench that decodes, encodes, edits, re-signs, and verifies tokens entirely on-device. Edits to the header, payload, key, or algorithm re-sign live; covers HMAC, RSA/PSS, ECDSA, and unsecured none, with Base64 secrets, PEM keys, and JWKS endpoints.
  • WinGet: Upgrade All now refreshes stale cache data before running, so packages upgraded or removed outside the extension no longer turn into a wall of per-package failures — and a run with nothing left to do says so. Uninstalling a row winget no longer knows about self-heals the list instead of erroring.
  • Teleport: new Window Behavior preference — database connections opened via the client:// URL now set windowMode, so you can have them open as a tab in an existing TablePlus window instead of always spawning a new standalone one. Per-connection environment is passed through as well.
  • Pushover: new Send Pushover Image command sends an image as an attachment, so a screenshot reaches your devices the same way a text notification does. Source is the Finder selection when Finder is frontmost, otherwise the native picker; images are validated against Pushover's 5 MB limit before upload.
  • Shottr: new closeMainWindow preference makes it possible to capture Raycast's own main window again, which the earlier always-close behavior had ruled out.

Worth a Look

AtomTick — by @4IngoJ

An NTP-synchronized analog clock face with a digital HH:MM:SS readout, for setting a mechanical watch to the exact second. Time comes from time.nist.gov with pool.ntp.org as a fallback, since no official JSON API exists for it.

Podcast Downloader — by @LagaV

Searches Podcast Index, the free and open podcast directory, browses a show's episodes, and copies the audio URL or downloads the file. Directory search needs a free API key; pasting a public RSS feed URL works without any credentials.

Tutti — by @BarryBarrywu

Controls Tutti, a macOS menu-bar app that plays the same audio through several output devices at once. Apply a saved preset, toggle mute, set volume to a percentage, or nudge every speaker together. It bundles no binary and runs no background server — writes go through tutti:// URLs and the preset list is read from Tutti's own JSON.

FMHY Search — by @BriskAM

Searches FMHY, the large community-maintained wiki indexing free online tools, sites, and resources. It parses the wiki's markdown from GitHub and indexes it locally for offline search, then keeps up to date with diff-based background sync that re-downloads only changed files. Includes a detail side panel, category filters, prefix jumps like /ai generation, favorites, and an NSFW toggle.

Average Saham Indonesia — by @uluumbch

Calculates your new average share price after buying more of a position, following the Indonesian exchange convention of 1 lot = 100 shares. Entirely offline, with no accounts or network requests, and the result updates as you type.

Update:

  • Tapo Smart Devices: fix a crash when the Tapo API returns a device type the extension doesn't recognize — those devices are now skipped instead of throwing. Also fixes a loading toast that could hang forever after a network error, and a failed manual refresh that replaced your populated device list with an empty one.

Wrappers for Other Services

TickTick+ — by @ysrazsingh

TickTick is a cross-platform to-do and task manager; this unofficial extension covers Today, Inbox, Next 7 Days, Overdue, search, and an Eisenhower matrix, plus quick add, projects and tags, habit check-ins, and a pomodoro timer synced with the app. Sign-in is TickTick OAuth through Raycast, so there are no API credentials to configure, and a menu-bar command shows the timer and overdue counts.

Glean Search — by @faizhasim

A Raycast front-end for Glean, the enterprise search product that indexes a company's internal apps and documents into one searchable place. It shells out to the glean CLI — auto-discovered via Homebrew or PATH, or downloaded from GitHub Releases with SHA-256 verification — and signs in through the CLI's OAuth flow, so there's nothing to configure.

Clerk — by @filiphsps

Connects Raycast to Clerk, the hosted user authentication and identity service developers drop into their apps. Manage multiple switchable instances, then search users (ban, revoke sessions, edit metadata, generate sign-in and impersonation tokens) and organizations (member directory, role changes, invitations) without opening the dashboard.

Zabbix — by @MassimilianoPasquini97

Built for operators running Zabbix, the open-source infrastructure monitoring platform. Browse problems, hosts, triggers, and latest data, and handle common monitoring and maintenance tasks without opening the web frontend.

Downdetector — by @MagnasiePro

Downdetector aggregates user-submitted outage reports to tell you whether a service is broken for everyone or just for you. Search any service to see live status and a 24-hour report chart with a baseline reference, submit your own incident report, and pick a regional site (Global, France, UK, Germany, Spain). Recent lookups are kept for quick re-checking.

Mobbin Search — by @cn0ss

An unofficial client for Mobbin, the library of screenshots from real shipped iOS and web apps that designers use as reference. Search screens, product flows, and website sections in a two-column grid, with ordered galleries for multi-step flows, favorites with local image copies, a 20-entry search history, and download / copy / Quick Look actions.

Mozaika — by @sezabut

Point it at a URL and Mozaika returns that site's design system — colors by role, fonts, type scale, radii, and the primary button — which you can copy as JSON or as a build-to-this-spec prompt. A second command searches a curated library of real shipped product screens (pricing, dashboards, onboarding). Works without a token; a Founder/Pro token raises the daily decode limit.

cl1p.net — by @meslva

cl1p.net is a throwaway one-time paste service: save text at a URL you choose, and by default it's destroyed the moment someone opens it — handy for moving a snippet to another machine or into a chat. One command opens a form, the other takes the selected text in the frontmost app and copies the resulting URL with no window at all. Needs a free account's API token; free accounts allow 20 writes a day.

p00f — by @mcdays94

A client for p00f, a zero-knowledge ephemeral clipboard where content is encrypted on your machine and the server only ever holds ciphertext. Share text or a file with a TTL from one minute to 30 days, a reveal budget, an optional PIN, and viewer-delete; the fragment key stays in the URL and never reaches the server. Links and owner tokens are copied as concealed, so they don't land in Raycast's clipboard history.

UploadKit — by @drumst0ck

For people hosting images on UploadKit, an image CDN with per-project API keys. Pick a local image, and the extension validates the format, requests a presigned URL, uploads the bytes straight to storage, and copies the final CDN URL — the API key is never sent to storage.

Updates:

  • Twenty: fix the extension failing to load entirely on current workspaces. Twenty is an open-source CRM; it changed the response shape of its REST metadata API, and the extension's schemas only accepted the old envelope, so Create Object Record errored on a type mismatch.
  • NeteaseMusic: new no-view Dislike Track & Next Track command, which marks the current track disliked and skips it in one keystroke. NeteaseMusic is a Chinese music streaming service.
