There are all kinds of actions included out of the box. You can add calendar appointments and reminders and set timers. You can send text messages or start FaceTime calls. You can even set dedicated keyboard shortcuts for any of these actions. It's also the exact kind of thing that, until now, Raycast did that Spotlight could not.

150 years of Hans Christian Andersen

news.ycombinator.com Frances Wilson 2025-12-22 00:07:13

There once was an ugly duckling, so despised by the other birds that he fled the farm to explore the wider world.
