## What it is
The official monorepo of all extensions available in the Raycast Store, plus documentation and templates for building Raycast extensions with React, TypeScript, and Node.js. Raycast is a macOS (and now Windows) launcher that lets users control tools with a few keystrokes, and this repo is the hub for contributing and publishing extensions.

## Use cases
- build a custom command for the Raycast launcher
- publish an extension to the Raycast Store
- control my tools from the keyboard with a launcher
- create an AI-powered chat extension for Raycast
- share private extensions with my team via a private store
- find and install productivity extensions like todo lists or Spotify controls
- add quick capture commands to Notion or other apps

## When to choose
- you use Raycast and want to automate or extend it with custom commands
- you want to distribute a small utility to Raycast users through the Store
- you want a React/TypeScript-based framework for building launcher UIs without HTML/CSS
- you want to build AI extensions or private team extension stores

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform launcher on Linux (Raycast is macOS/Windows only)
- you want a general-purpose desktop app framework rather than Raycast extensions
- you need full HTML/CSS control over the UI (Raycast renders natively, no react-dom)
- you don't use Raycast and just want a standalone CLI or app
