For nearly a year I was a Raycast Pro user. With that, I was also able to use their AI features. Sadly it was not so satisfying, because you gained access to models you can use freely on respective sites. Yes, it solved as a proxy to avoid sharing sensitive data, at least I hoped, but I have no verification for this.

But now, I've moved to ChatGPT Plus. I could also use it with Raycast, but the ChatGPT desktop app for macOS looks good and works well. So, why use a wrapper?

Raycast Pro is payable, but besides the AI feature, I’ve only used the synchronization feature. The synchronization was useful for using the mobile app; sadly, it was not what I hoped, so there is no good reason to sync anymore. Only for backups, but this I can do myself.

I’m still using Raycast and love it for what it offers. Only the Pro subscription makes no sense to me anymore.

I will now explore more of what ChatGPT can do for me. I also can give Codex a try. Maybe I'll find time for this to try. :)

Raycast released a new feature which lets you focus more on your current task. You can define a name, time, and apps which should be blocked at this time. They also have some groups of apps. For example, Social Media, Messaging and so on. You can also block single websites, which was not working for me in Firefox or Vivaldi. So, blocking websites is then no option for me.

So, overall, it's a good Idea but not really commonly usable. Moreover, if I block MS Teams, I don't want it to be closed and appear offline. It should still be open and not making any noise or distracting me. Maybe this feature will grow over time and they will add some things.
