awork × Raycast: New Features for Better Workflows
Since we introduced our awork extension for Raycast, it’s become part of daily work for us and many other teams. Find projects, open tasks and track time, all from the launcher with a few keystrokes. This update brings awork and Raycast closer together with several new features.
Raycast 2 and Windows
With the arrival of Raycast 2 and Raycast for Windows, we’ve updated the extension to support both, while keeping it running smoothly in Raycast 1.
Project & Task Keys
awork recently introduced Project and Task Keys: unique IDs for projects and tasks, and a feature we’d often requested ourselves. The extension now supports them too. If you’ve enabled keys in awork, you’ll see them in Raycast. If you haven’t, everything works as before.
Create Task / Edit Task
Creating and editing awork tasks was our most requested feature. Now, Create Task is available as a standalone command alongside Search Projects, Search Tasks and Log Time. Select a project and open the pre-filled form from the submenu or with ^C on macOS or CTRL+C on Windows. Welcome to our new Windows users! To edit a task, choose Edit Task from its submenu or use ^E or CTRL+E. You can create subtasks in the same way, provided the selected task isn’t already a subtask.
awork Meets Raycast AI
These features are also available through Raycast’s AI tools. Use @awork to find projects and tasks, track time, or create and edit tasks in natural language. Before creating or changing a task, Raycast shows you the details to confirm, as usual.
The updated extension is available now in the official Raycast Store.
Our awork video profile shows why awork works so well for us and how we use it with our clients. The extension grew out of that everyday work: a small tool that evolves with our needs and with the expanding features of awork and Raycast.
