› Raycast Extension

Since v2025.2, BarCuts has an official Raycast extension, "BarCuts Companion", so you can access your tagged workflows right from your favourite launcher.

What it does

The extension's single action, "Get Active Shortcuts Workflows", returns the same list of workflows as the BarCuts menu: Both the workflows tagged for the currently active application and the global (always-available) workflows.

Here's an example showing the results for my currently active app, Xcode – one app-tagged workflow, and the single global workflow I've set up:

Screenshot of the Raycast window with the BarCuts logo in the upper right corner, two workflows in the selection list, and the Raycast action panel open, displaying the actions "Run Workflow" (Return) and "Open in Shortcuts Editor" (Shift-Return).

Selecting one option and hitting ↵ will run the workflow, while pressing ⌘↵ will open it in the Shortcuts editor.

Installation

The extension can be downloaded from the Raycast Store. (Unfortunately, it's not possible to bundle the extension with BarCuts itself, or to offer it outside of the Raycast Store.)

BarCuts must be running for the Companion to work.

Configuration

The extension offers no configuration. That said, I suggest setting the standard Raycast options, namely defining an alias (keyword) and/or a keyboard hotkey.
