Coming from Spotlight, Raycast or Alfred
Everything Raycast does, by saying it instead of picking commands, plus what no launcher does: your browser, your windows, computer use and your coding agents.
The differenceWhat maps to whatWhat no launcher doesBring your Raycast setup
The difference
A launcher is a list of commands to learn. Jevie takes a sentence (kill port 3000
, open hacker news and product hunt
) and does it. Jevie opens with ⌘ Space; the first run moves Spotlight to ⌥ Space in one click.

Bring your Raycast setup
Say import from raycast
(the first run offers it). Nothing already in Jevie is replaced, and undo the raycast import
puts it all back. Your Raycast clipboard history and AI chats are never read.
| From Raycast | Into Jevie |
|---|---|
| Snippets | the snippet library; keywords expand anywhere, with {clipboard}, {cursor}, {uuid}, {date}, {time} and {day} working as before |
| Quicklinks | quicklinks; {query} carries over |
| Script command folders | script commands |
| Hotkeys | hotkeys, onto the sentence Jevie runs for the same thing; a key you already use is kept |
| Aliases | aliases |
| Custom AI commands | sentences by their titles, about the selected text, copied text or page |
| Notes | your notes |
| Extensions | listed: the ones Jevie does itself, the ones in its store (offered, never installed unasked), and the rest to port |
Snippets holding an API key, extension settings and window layouts stay in Raycast. There is no import from Alfred; its snippets and quicklinks are quick to say again.
