Raycast

50% Discount
Raycast automation and AI help improve productivity through various open-source tools that can be easily triggered with custom hotkeys, also, it is open source so you can customize your own experience.
It is a blazingly fast, extendable launcher that replaces Apple's Spotlight.
It lets you control your tools, run scripts, and manage windows completely from your keyboard.
While the free version is powerful, Raycast Pro takes it further with Cloud Sync (perfect if you switch between a personal and school Mac), Unlimited Clipboard History (never lose a copied link again), and AI Integration (GPT-4 and Claude built right into your command bar).
Raycast doesn't use an automatic verification system like SheerID on their main page.
Instead, they have a dedicated application process for students.
