Hello 👋
It’s Pedro
here with another monthly update! As always, team picks
at the bottom of the email.
By the way, you may notice this email looks a little
different than the previous ones. That's because
we've migrated to Resend and decided to simplify
our template. But I'll keep iterating and
improving on it, so let me know what you think!
Yearly offsite
The whole team got together in Rovinj, Croatia, this
year to celebrate our yearly offsite. Aside from all the
travel disruptions, we had such a great time
together!
One of the things I love the most about our offsites is
that it’s mainly centered around people. Hanging out,
doing fun activities, playing games, etc and not full of
work meetings for a whole week! We did hold a
work-related session in the morning, where Thomas and
Petr shared an overview of how Raycast is doing and what
we’ve got planned for the next year. And wow. I hope
you’re ready!
I selfishly took this opportunity to take a bunch of
photos which I always enjoy doing, you can check them out here
to get a feel for the culture at Raycast. Thanks to
Sandy for organising this event. It gets harder each
year as the company grows.
A little glass
We’ve added a touch of Liquid Glass on both our macOS
and iOS apps. Enjoy a refreshed look, featuring rounder
corners, updated app icons, and smooth progressive
blurs. Thomas shared some beautiful images of how it
looks in Tahoe and iOS 26. We also made a little video where we talk about it a
bit more. Check it out if you’re curious.
Future Fifty 2025
This year, we got selected to be part of the Future
Fifty 2025 by TechNation. Future Fifty is where
late-stage UK tech levels up, with 30%+ of the country’s
unicorns coming through the program. We’re thrilled to
join the lineup. Learn more about it here.
