Raycast makes it super fast to launch any application installed on your PC.
Just hit your Raycast hotkey to open the launcher, and then start typing to find the app you need.
With the application highlighted, hit Enter
to launch it. You can also use Ctrl
K
to bring up additional actions such as Open in Windows Explorer, Copy Path, Copy Name, and more.
In order you to see all available Applications in root search, you can use Ctrl
↓
to jump down to the Apps section in the list.
An even faster way to launch applications is to assign Shortcuts to them.
Go to the Shortcuts tab in Settings (Ctrl
,
) and assign a Hotkey to any application in order to launch it without even opening Raycast. You can also assign an Alias, by which you can quickly find the app in root search.
In subsequent releases, we plan to add even more advanced features, such as the ability to Quit, Restart, or even Uninstall applications directly from Raycast.
