Raycast

What is Raycast?

Raycast is a launcher for Mac, a command bar you summon with a keystroke to do things fast without reaching for the mouse or hunting through apps. Type a few characters and you can open an app, run a calculation, search, or trigger an action, then it disappears again. It's built around staying on the keyboard and not breaking your flow. Extensions let it reach into other tools, and the Fabric extension lets it reach into your Fabric library.

What you can do with Fabric from Raycast

The Fabric Raycast extension puts three things a keystroke away, so you can use Fabric without leaving what you're doing.

Search your Fabric library. Open Raycast, start typing, and search across everything you've saved in Fabric, your files, notes, and saved content, then jump straight to what you find. The thing you need is there without opening the app and losing your place.

Save a link or file. Found something worth keeping? Send it to Fabric from the command bar in the moment you see it, rather than leaving a tab open as a reminder to deal with later.

Create a note. Catch an idea the second it lands. Open Raycast, write the note, and it's in your Fabric library, no app to open, no flow to break.

The point is the absence of friction. The small tax of switching apps, the one that turns "I'll save this" into a tab you never come back to, is what the extension removes. Fabric stays a keystroke away while you work in everything else.

How people use it

Developers and people who live on the keyboard already run their day through Raycast and add Fabric so saving a link or capturing a note is part of the same muscle memory, never a detour into another app. It fits the way Fabric works for developers.

Researchers save sources the instant they find them, straight from the command bar, so the thing they spotted mid-task makes it into their library and turns up later in their research workflow.

Writers and creators catch ideas the moment they arrive, a line, a reference, a thought, without breaking the work they're in to do it.

Anyone deep in focused work can pull up something from Fabric or drop something into it without the context-switch that opening an app would cost, then carry on.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Fabric Raycast extension?

It's an extension that brings Fabric into Raycast, the Mac command bar, so you can search your Fabric library, save links and files, and create notes without opening the Fabric app. It's made by Fabric.

What can I do with Fabric from Raycast?

Three things: search everything in your Fabric library, save a link or file to Fabric, and create a note. Each runs from the Raycast command bar, so you stay in whatever you were doing.

Can I search my whole Fabric library from Raycast?

Yes. The extension searches across what you've saved in Fabric, so you can find and open something without switching to the app. For the deeper, meaning-based search, the full search experience lives in Fabric itself.

Do I need a Fabric account to use it?

Yes. The extension connects Raycast to your existing Fabric library, so you sign in with your Fabric account. If you don't have one yet, you can start free.

Does it work on Windows?

Raycast is a Mac app, so the Fabric Raycast extension runs where Raycast runs. On other platforms you can reach Fabric through the web, mobile, and desktop apps and the other connections.

How is this different from the other Fabric connections?

Most connections bring content from another service into Fabric. The Raycast extension goes the other way: it's a fast way to reach your Fabric library, search it, and add to it, from outside the app. It's about speed of access rather than syncing a new source in.

Is it made by Fabric?

Yes. The Raycast extension is built by Fabric.

Is my data secure?

Everything in Fabric is encrypted in transit and at rest, with AES-256 encryption on stored content. The extension works against your own Fabric library. The details are in the privacy and security guide and Fabric's privacy commitment.

Does Fabric work with other tools as well?

Yes. Raycast is one of many connections. Alongside it you can bring content in from Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion, and Gmail, and search across all of it.
