Raycast Wrapped 2025 💝

Say hello to your productivity story over the year.

[Alexandr Subbotin @asubbotin]

btw, you don't have to know all the `sips` options and even launch terminal. Just use Raycast AI Extensions:

No need to install image magick even

Just curious: do you use all 10 fingers for typing? I rarely use ring finger and pinky, but speed is still ~85wpm. Worth to train?

[Pedro Duarte @peduarte]

Get better at typing. Should we ship it?
