Raycast — Developer Documentation & API
Raycast provides a public Extension API that is the foundation for its open-source extension ecosystem. Developers can build custom extensions that integrate directly into the Raycast launcher surface.
What the API supports:
- Building commands, forms, list views, and detail views within Raycast's UI
- Publishing extensions to the community store or keeping them private
- Integrating third-party services (the existing ecosystem covers tools like Linear, JIRA, 1Password, Obsidian, and more)
- AI Extensions — extensions that hook into Raycast's AI layer (Pro+ plans), including Agents and AI Commands
- Bring Your Own Key — teams can supply their own LLM API keys rather than consuming Raycast-managed AI credits
Open source: Raycast's extension repository is open source, enabling community contributions and code review.
Platform support: macOS and Windows.
Reliability: The platform maintains a reported 99.8% crash-free session rate, relevant for teams evaluating it as a dependency in developer workflows.
