I asked ChatGPT today apps for Workspace Launchers, and suggested creating a custom Layout in Raycast . It also suggested other apps like Bunch .

For those who are not familiar with Workspace Launchers: I think of it as a Shortcut to open pre-specified apps, e.g. a “Work” Layout may open an IDE, Slack, GitHub, etc.

The Raycast Layout allows for opening any installed app, Quicklinks, Files or Folders, and URL (though only up to 8 windows per display). You can lay these out as you wish, such as having Slack on the left and PyCharm on the right1.

I’m playing around with opening some less frequently visited projects, like my personal website. In fact, this TIL was created after opening my website and PyCharm using Raycast Layout!


  1. Though I just found that Raycast cannot apply layout to PyCharm. ↩︎
