Raycast-compatible launcher for Linux. Contribute to ByteAtATime/raycast-linux development by creating an account on GitHub.

While the goal is to support a wide range of Raycast extensions, there are some inherent limitations due to the differences between macOS and Linux. macOS-specific APIs: Many extensions rely on native macOS features like AppleScript ( runAppleScript), hardcoded paths (/Applications/), or specific system libraries that do not exist on Linux. Wayland users: For the global snippet expansion feature to work, the application needs permission to read keyboard events.
