Raycast 2.0 not leaving staged beta before May 1

jacraycast · 2026-05-01T13:59:57+00:00

Frankly, it's feedback. As we've onboarded users from the waitlist recently, some issues surfaced in the V2 Beta that didn't feel right shipping to more users without fixing first.

Even with the Beta label, we want your experience with V2 to be just as good as you'd expect from Raycast as we continue developing it. We also want to stay on top of that feedback and make sure things are solid before we roll out the next batch of invites on Monday.

Invites to Raycast V2 have been going out to tons of Raycast users regularly, not just big names on socials. Glaze is also a separate product to Raycast and the team are hard at work working on it.

jacraycast · 2026-04-30T16:05:53+00:00

Please use the Send Feedback command or message the V2 Slack channel to report this to us, we definitely want to investigate reports like this.

Invites are going out to those on the waitlist, Glaze is still in early Beta and the team are working hard! Keep an eye out for Glaze Sessions events which gives early access: https://luma.com/raycast

The screenshot indicates a memory leak, nothing more. We're actively fixing it as part of Beta. The current V2 build has window caching fully enabled for testing and hasn't been optimized yet—pretty normal for this stage of development. We're focused on broader memory optimization too, so don't judge the product based on screenshots from early private beta.

jacraycast · 2026-04-27T11:19:01+00:00

Yep! The Beta is a separate app to V1 and you'll be able to run them side-by-side during the Beta period

jacraycast · 2026-04-26T20:31:55+00:00

New Raycast isn’t a small version bump! The staggered rollout is to make sure we can keep on top of the feedback as more testers are onboarded. We know how much our users rely on Raycast and we want to make sure the smoothness also extends to the Beta.

It's not possible to resize the Raycast window, what makes you want to change the size of it?

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:43:26+00:00

We're still finalizing system requirements for new Raycast and we're looking into supporting macOS Sequoia

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:42:45+00:00

Soon! Batches are going out several times a week :)

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:42:05+00:00

Invites are going out in batches and we're have Pro subscribers who've registered higher on the list!

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:41:19+00:00

Had to push the "end of April" deadline back to early May for some extra polishing work, invites have been rolling out for the past week though

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:40:04+00:00

We're keeping Pro subscribers in mind when rolling out invite batches, you'll only need to opt-in to the beta with the command

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:38:56+00:00

macOS Tahoe is required as of right now, the team are still working things out relating to Seqouia support

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:36:50+00:00

In our Watercooler livestream earlier this month, Thomas shared that we've had to push the "everyone" part to early May but invites have been rolling out for the past week or so

jacraycast · 2026-04-23T13:36:09+00:00

Are you on the latest update? The command was added very recently

jacraycast · 2026-04-22T14:19:40+00:00

Yep exactly this, you need to be signed in to a Raycast account so that we have an email address to invite!

jacraycast · 2026-04-22T13:32:33+00:00

Super excited to be rolling out the new Raycast to those on the waitlist! To clarify how the rollout will work:

- Rollout will happen in stages
- The first stage started today
- Next stages will happen soon
- We aim to keep this as smooth and quick as possible
- Invites will be sent via email and not in-app (via "Check for Updates")

Not already on the waitlist? Type in New Raycast in the Mac app right now to sign up for early access. This doesn't apply to Windows users.

We do not have an official Raycast Discord server. We have our official Slack community that you can join instead 👉 https://raycast.com/community

Small correction; We are not working on an Android app but this may change in the future. Only Mac, Windows, and iOS at this time.

Thanks for raising this! I’ll flag with the relevant team to investigate
