I experimented with Raycast more than once and after about 3 to 6 months, returned to Alfred. Raycast is slick and there’s no denying that its extensions are much better than the workflows in Alfred. There is something about a familiar app that I have used and loved for years that feels like a warm blanket.
Recently, I realised that I’ve become more productive with apps that are familiar to me, or ones that I abandoned for newer apps with promises of more features and increased productivity. I’ve been on a journey the last year or so with app-switching and not being able to settle on an app (this is particularly noticeable with workhorse productivity apps like notes, to-do, email etc).
