Raycast Extensions
Raycast is a launcher app for macOS—similar to Spotlight or Alfred, but with a much richer feature set. The platform allows developers to contribute open-source extensions to interact with other apps and improve daily workflows. So far, I have one approved extension available in the Raycast Store and a couple more in the works.
Stack
- TypeScript
- Raycast API
Published Extensions
- Tomito Controls
Tomito Controls
Tomito is a Pomodoro timer app. The Tomito Controls extension allows users to control Tomito from within Raycast, using only their keyboard.

Challenges and lessons learned
Before this project, most of the software development I had done was displayed in a web browser. This was a new, fun challenge using AppleScript to control a macOS app.
Building on this platform has given me a solid opportunity to work on a small piece of a larger codebase. The Raycast team is incredibly helpful and offers comprehensive feedback on pull requests. I appreciate having my code reviewed and made better by a team with high standards for user experience.
