A heavy week: more than two dozen new extensions land, and Raycast itself ships 2.3 with an agentic rebuild of Raycast AI.

Productivity

Better JSON — by @XiaoDaiGua-Ray

A developer utility for formatting, inspecting, searching, and (de)serializing JSON from the clipboard or manual input, with one-level-at-a-time browsing and decoded previews of nested JSON.

URL Designer — by @alexi-build

Collect and manage reusable URL patterns — normalize them, prevent duplicates, reorder, and copy — so a frequently-assembled link is a keystroke away.

Dated Folder — by @fanhefeng

Creates a date-named folder (configurable format) inside a chosen parent and opens it in your terminal, collapsing mkdir + cd + opening a terminal into one command.

Storage Benchmark — by @ricoloic

Measures sequential read/write throughput on internal disks and external volumes using Raycast's built-in Swift compiler, with a configurable test size and a bounded local history.

UI Component Search — by @tomer953

Searches eight component libraries at once — shadcn/ui, PrimeNG, Angular Material, spartan/ui, Taiga UI, Mantine, React Spectrum, and Chakra UI — with open-in-browser and copy actions.

Punch Clock — by @FL0R1AN84

A menu-bar work-hours tracker: set your working time and break, then watch a live countdown with start and expiry times that persists across Raycast restarts.

Keyboard Layout Search — by @Rogov-KS

A fallback command that fixes queries typed in the wrong keyboard layout (Russian, Ukrainian, AZERTY, QWERTZ, Greek → US English) and launches the app you meant.

Shell Apps — by @Kxrbx

A Windows extension that turns any shell command into an app-like shortcut — pick the terminal, set a working directory, run elevated, and pin it as a Quicklink with a hotkey.

Folder Scope — by @omeraydemir

Searches the text inside files in the active Finder folder using bundled ripgrep, with regex, filters, and jump-to-line in common editors.

Project Folders — by @Hugovdd

Browses local creative-project folders in a YYYY/MMDD_Name layout and surfaces the Asana, Google Drive, Frame.io, and subfolder links stored alongside each one.

Media Switcher — by @muhammadrizo-y

Keyboard control of active media sessions — toggle playback, adjust volume, and switch between competing sources, optionally pausing the others. Works on macOS and Windows.

Phone — by @Amir-HM

Call any macOS contact through your iPhone via Continuity Calling in two keystrokes; a single match auto-dials, otherwise a filtered list offers Call, FaceTime Audio, or FaceTime Video.

MemeStash — by @LunarRed

An emoji-picker-style library for your own images and memes: fuzzy-search by name or keyword and paste the pick straight into the frontmost app, adding images from a file, the clipboard, or Finder.

Updates to existing productivity extensions:

• PIA Controls: adds a region browser, favorites, port forwarding, and a settings command.
• Google Cloud CLI: adds Cloud SQL to the service hub, alongside Compute, Storage, Cloud Run, and Cloud Functions.
• Change Scroll Direction: toggles scroll direction directly instead of driving System Settings through UI automation.
• Google Tasks: cross-list browsing by date or status, sorting, multi-task creation, and undo for recent completions.
• Toothpick: adds Windows support.
• Mozilla Firefox: adds Windows support.
• Arc: tab search now tags each result with its Space name so identically-named tabs are distinguishable.
• Apple Reminders: menu-bar reminder titles now show the due time.
• Safari: new "New Window" command.
• GitLab: the merge-request form adds a "squash commits when accepted" checkbox.
• Clockify: honors the project's billable default when creating time entries.
• Azure DevOps Search: My Work Items gains an optional assigned-to-me filter.
• Pomodoro: new "Skip to Next interval" action.
• Mirror Displays: new "Toggle Mirroring" action that flips the current state.

Worth a Look

The Labyrinth — by @luarmr

An SVG-rendered labyrinth game with power-ups — one command plays level by level, with an optional command for jumping to a specific level and power-up combination.

Load-Bearing Reply — by @chrisdeeming

A local-only joke extension that pastes intentionally over-engineered, context-neutral replies into whatever app is in front of you, either at random or from a searchable picker.

Updates:

• Plexamp: adds track navigation and play-album actions.
• Qobuz: "Convert Track Link" now falls back to the currently-playing track when the clipboard is empty.

Wrappers for Other Services

Spark Mail — by @keito4

Spark is Readdle's email client for Mac, iOS, and Windows; this extension drives Spark Desktop's bundled CLI to browse, search, read, and triage your mailbox — smart inbox views, calendar, contacts, and compose — without leaving Raycast.

Record — by @devrecordso

A Raycast controller for Record, a macOS screen recorder: start window, area, or full-screen captures, stop, pause and resume, and grab instant share links, all via deep links.

Gatus Status — by @mainmain-rl

Connects Raycast to Gatus, the open-source self-hosted health-check dashboard, and lists every probe on your instance with per-probe detail.

Capso — by @ruicout0

Capso is an open-source macOS screenshot and capture tool; the extension exposes its capture modes, OCR, scrolling capture, screen recording, and history through native URL schemes.

Melanite Search — by @masuipeo

Built for people who organize files with Melanite, the tag-based file manager that pairs plain-text Markdown notes with a self-contained library. Search by file name, tag, or memo and preview thumbnails without opening the app.

Jotaid — by @leeronzhang

Jotaid is a macOS Markdown notes app with backlinks and a knowledge graph; this companion searches notes, creates them, and quick-captures selected text or the current browser page to your Inbox.

Calliday — by @liyan82

A front-end for Calliday, the macOS automatic time tracker that logs which app, window, and site you're in to a local database. View current activity and today's report, start timers, and manage its pomodoro feature from Raycast.

VisiGrid — by @robertdoneill

VisiGrid is a local spreadsheet engine; the extension taps its CLI to evaluate Excel formulas against clipboard or CSV data and preview recent spreadsheets as a grid without opening an app.

Smry — by @mrmps

Smry is a read-it-later service; this authenticated connector saves the current tab, any open browser tab, or an arbitrary URL to your Smry Inbox or Later library, capturing the rendered page on save.

Adjacent — by @Lucas-Kohorst

Adjacent is a data service for prediction markets, indices, and rates; this keyboard client browses and searches events and markets, shows the latest news, and keeps live index levels in the menu bar.

Update:

• HackMD: adds workspace and profile browser actions.

From Raycast

• Raycast 2.3 (Sept 11) rebuilds Raycast AI with agentic capabilities: give it a task and it plans, uses your extensions, and writes and runs code, with automatic retries. The release also adds Projects for contextual conversations and Automations for scheduled prompts.
• Raycast 2.2 (Sept 8) introduces "Bring Your Own Model," letting Pro users connect OpenAI-compatible endpoints, run local Ollama models, or add an OpenRouter API key across Raycast AI features.
• On the blog, Why We're Changing How Raycast AI Is Priced (Sept 10) introduces plans with AI Credits so longer agentic tasks can run on their own.
