I'm OVER Apple's Spotlight search function 👎🏼

I’m always looking for new tools to improve my workflow. Maybe it’s a habit I’ve picked up from working in tech, maybe it’s from being a YouTuber and always looking for new things to share with you, but honestly I see it as a bit of a hobby.

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been trying out Raycast, a replacement for Apple’s (crappy) Spotlight search function. I used to use Spotlight religiously to open applications and do calculations but I find it to be clunky and sometimes really slow.

Raycast however, has been a lightening fast replacement for that, AND it has has way more functionalities.

Some ways I’ve been using it are:

• opening up applications
• calculations
• performing actions with apps like Notion, Spotify, and more
• taking down quick floating notes
• resizing and organizing windows​

I wrote a new blogpost with details on how I use Raycast and my final thoughts about it, so if you want to read through that, you can find it here.

​Otherwise, if you want to try Raycast, their free version lets you use all of those functionalities and more so you can find it here. ​
