Warninghero
Hero doesn't explain what you DO
The headline 'Your shortcut to everything' + subheading 'A collection of powerful productivity tools all within an extendable launcher' tells you WHAT it is, not WHAT you get. A cold visitor doesn't yet understand: do I search? Do I automate? Do I control my Mac?
FixRewrite the hero to lead with the outcome: 'Control your Mac and all your tools from one keyboard shortcut' or 'Launch apps, search files, run AI, and automate — all without touching your mouse.' Then support with 'Fast, keyboard-first, and extensible.'

Secondary CTA 'Try the new Raycast' bleeds attention
The button 'Try the new Raycast' + 'Learn more' sits near the primary 'Download for Mac' CTA, creating a competing action. Visitors may click 'Learn more' instead of downloading, delaying conversion.
FixRemove or demote 'Try the new Raycast' to a small link below the download button. Keep one primary action: 'Download for Mac.' If you want to highlight a new feature, do it in a secondary section after the fold.

Clever headlines obscure the core promise
Sections like 'It's not about saving time' and 'There's an extension for that' are witty but don't reinforce what Raycast actually does. A visitor scrolling may not connect these to the core value proposition.
FixPair each clever headline with a benefit-led subheading. E.g., 'It's not about saving time. It's about feeling like you're never wasting it.' → Add: 'Launch any app, search any file, run AI commands — all in milliseconds from your keyboard.'
Warningtrust
Testimonials buried; no proof near download CTA
User testimonials (Guillermo Rauch, Marques Brownlee, etc.) appear far down the page, after the hero and feature sections. A visitor deciding whether to download sees no social proof or outcome evidence at the point of commitment.
FixMove one or two short, outcome-focused testimonials (e.g., 'Raycast is incrementally turning my Mac into an AI-native OS') into a small trust section immediately above or beside the primary download CTA.
Warningclarity
'There's an extension for that' doesn't explain the value
The section shows 20+ integrations (Linear, Notion, Slack, etc.) but doesn't explain WHY this matters. Does it save clicks? Does it keep you in Raycast? A visitor doesn't know if extensions are a core feature or a nice-to-have.
FixAdd a one-line benefit statement: 'Use your favorite tools without opening them — search Notion, check Slack, manage Jira, all from Raycast.' Make the outcome concrete: 'Stay in your flow.'
Warningfriction
AI features shown but pricing not explained upfront
The page highlights 'AI where it's most useful' and shows AI Chat, Quick AI, and Automation Assistant, but doesn't clarify if these are free, Pro-only, or token-based. A visitor interested in AI may download only to hit a paywall.
FixAdd a small note under the AI section: 'AI features available on Raycast Pro' with a link to pricing. Or show a pricing table inline: 'Free: Launcher + 1000+ extensions. Pro: AI Chat, Quick AI, Automation ($8/mo).'
Minorcopy
'And much, much more' is lazy; no specificity
The section 'What else can Raycast do?' lists 13 features in a bullet list, then ends with 'And much, much more.' This is filler that doesn't reinforce the core promise or drive action.
FixEither expand the list to show the breadth (e.g., 'Window management, note-taking, flight tracking, file search, script execution, emoji picker, screenshot OCR, translation, distraction blocking') or replace with a single outcome: 'Raycast replaces dozens of separate tools — everything you need is one keystroke away.'
Minorfriction
Windows beta option may confuse Mac-first audience
The nav shows 'Download for Windows (beta)' as a primary option, but the page is entirely Mac-focused. A Windows user landing here will see Mac-only copy and may feel out of place; a Mac user may wonder if they're on the right page.
FixKeep Windows in the nav but add a small note: 'Raycast for Windows is in beta. Mac version is production-ready.' Or, if Windows is not a priority, move it to a footer link to reduce cognitive load on the primary audience.
