Twelve Months. Three Platforms. One Vision.

It's my last day at work for this year before I go on a little break. So I thought it was a great moment to reflect on the last couple of months at @raycast...

We began this year as a Mac-only app. We're ending it with iOS and Windows. Yesterday, we shared our vision for the next chapter of the Mac app, which includes new features and a refined design that builds on everything we've learned.

Mid-year, Apple tried to sherlock us with Spotlight (https://t.co/lKpJhWr7qI). Many predicted it would be the end of Raycast. Instead, we had our strongest month ever with the most downloads in our history. It was scary, not gonna lie. But we leaned in and captured the moment.

Our community grew with us. Over 2,500 extensions now power the workdays of hundreds of thousands of professionals. People like @tobi (https://t.co/YK5Eab3ouj) use Raycast every day. We also saw something shift. Companies started viewing Raycast not just as a tool individuals love, but as table stakes for productive teams.

Supporting three operating systems with a small team is challenging. Each platform works differently. We're still figuring out how to make Raycast integrate seamlessly with all of them. But the team has been incredible, shipping relentlessly while maintaining the quality and speed people expect from us.

We spent more time with our community this year and organized 26 events around the world. Our trip to Tokyo (https://t.co/4EOk6Wmy1j) was a personal highlight. It’s those moments meeting users, hearing how Raycast fits into their workflows, and seeing what people build that keeps us going.

Looking at 2026: Desktop operating systems haven't fundamentally changed in decades. They feel stuck. We're setting out to rethink what a modern operating system for professionals looks like in the age of AI. Not replacing macOS or Windows, but enhancing them with Raycast in ways that make you faster, more focused, and more capable.

Most of what we accomplished this year isn't even public yet. In 2026, I want to be more open. Share more of our journey. Show what it takes to build a world-class product. Peek behind the curtain with some behind-the-scenes content. If you want to meet up or have ideas, let me know.

Thank you to the team that made this year possible. And to everyone building with us.

@Olli0103 I believe it has something to do with my 2025 being filled with compliance and security projects... 😮‍💨

Hey Justin, even if that’s the case, maybe there’s something we can do already to help you get more people at Blizzard to start using Raycast. It would also be great to understand your requirements for our Windows version to make it more robust.
Please reach out to [email protected] with more details, and we’ll do our best to support you in that uphill battle 🙂

@scottastevenson @thomaspaulmann From what we found out going through this incident is that Microsoft Defender seems to use Bitdefender under the hood for macOS apps.
