10 actually useful Raycast extensions

[@Dave-cg9li]

My number one is probably "New file here" - when I'm in Finder, I open Raycast and can create any kind of file in the open directory, I can even create template files.
And the second one I can't almost live without is one for 2FA codes - since I don't use Safari, I can't have SMS codes automatically pasted, so the extension saves me from having to re-write SMS codes every day 😄

Excellent, I've never understood why you can't easily create a new i.e. text file in finder, now we can. And the 2FA plugin is also quite handy. My life just got a little easier today:)

I think the subtitles are messed up..

Love Raycast, great collection, thanks Matt!

[@felipeleiteadv]

Great video, brother. Thank you. Would appreciate new videos on raycast extensions that you find useful. Cheers!

[@fishfrom96]

These are great! Another one that I like is color picker by Thomas Paul Mann.

Quick question. Why do you use Rectangle (that's what it looks like seeing that you have it downloaded) instead of Raycast's window snapping tools? I used to be a Rectangle user before I knew Raycast existed, but I switched immediately after I found out that Raycast offers the same functionality.

I’m surprised you got crickets with this one

[@it_is_ni]

The "HowLongToBeat" workflow being an "Actually Useful Raycast extension" is stretching it. It's super niche and you can just go to the website. This feels like the era where every company thought they had to have a native app instead of just a good website.

[@zona_moribunda]

Yeah, two of the first three are a wallpaper and "HowLongToBeat" lmao

[@mountainash]

LOL makes a video about Raycast usefulness and then installs 2 versions of Rectangle Windows Managers - when window management (even with preset Rectangle key combos) is builtin directly into Raycast! (there’s a “useful” tip)

[@spencerkm]

There’s no drag and drop with raycast’s window management though (right?)

[@zaberchann]

Love the basic function of raycast. But except few extensions, other functions are hardly used, just like the “shortcut” app

[@themarksmith]

Useful stuff sir... thank you!

[@schindlermarcus]

for the first wallpaper plugin, it's wasn't built in from the beginning. i needed to download it from the raycast store. (having raycast pro)

[@pernielsentikaer]

That's correct, it's an extension from the store 🙂

Another banger 🔥

Is the UA-cam downloader better than Downie?
Thanks!

[@it_is_ni]

Sorry, but this video's content quality is waaay below the other stuff you've produced imho. It's a listicle. The suggestions are trivial (changing wallpapers, howlongtobeat, confetti, really?). I think you can do a lot better subject-wise. The rest is really good: visuals, audio, presentation.

[@destinyfebruary]

great!!

[@Maxi855]

What app do you use to record your screen?

[@chezchezchezchez]

Hello! Did you happen to find out? I’d like to know also, thank you!

[@Vadios_Davoid]

Confetti!!!!!!

[@callmeNeno]

"extensions" are concerning to me. Who's monitoring the security on these "extensions"

[@chezchezchezchez]

Your Mom

[@nukesean]

Imagine making a video titled “actually useful Raycast extensions” and then starting the list with a completely useless wallpaper extension before finishing up with a completely useless confetti extension. Such clickbait garbage 🙄

[@shaheene3510]

Great video Matt!
anyway i can get your email?
would love to send you something!
