Summary
Raycast's Script Commands offer a versatile tool for automating daily tasks on macOS by leveraging Swift and Apple's frameworks. The blog post showcases three practical examples: quitting all running applications using AppKit's NSWorkspace, copying the last downloaded file with the FileManager API, and sharing daily availability through EventKit. Each script is broken down into its main and convenience sections, illustrating how they can be customized and executed directly from Raycast. The commands can be enhanced with global hotkeys for added convenience, and users are encouraged to explore, modify, and contribute to the growing repository of script commands.
