Switching from Raycast to Tucket

Raycast is a launcher first, and its Clipboard History is one extension among many. Most people asking about an alternative do not want to leave Raycast, just to have a clipboard that does more. That works fine: keep Raycast for everything else. Here is the comparison, from Raycast’s own pages. I build Tucket, so weigh it accordingly.

What Raycast does well

  • It is already there if you use Raycast, and the clipboard is free for personal use.
  • Text, images, colours and links, with pinning for the entries you reuse.
  • Stored encrypted on your Mac, and it ignores passwords from password managers.
  • One keyboard-driven place for clipboard, launcher, window management, snippets and more.

What Tucket does differently

  • It is a clipboard manager and nothing else, so it has room for more of one job.
  • Every image you copy is read on your Mac, so screenshots are searchable by their words.
  • History can be unlimited without a subscription, and pinboards are never auto-deleted.
  • Notes on clips, reminders, sequential paste, background removal and mood boards.
  • It costs $10 once. Raycast’s clipboard is free.

Who each one is for

Stay with Raycast if:

  • Raycast’s clipboard already covers what you copy, and you like one tool for everything.
  • Three months of history is enough, or you pay for Pro anyway.

Tucket is the better fit if:

  • You want screenshots searchable by their contents.
  • You want your clipboard organised into pinboards that last.
  • You want unlimited history without a subscription.

What switching involves

  • Keep Raycast. Only its Clipboard History extension overlaps with Tucket, and you can turn that extension off in Raycast’s settings if you do not want two histories.
  • Your existing history does not come with you. Tucket has no importer, so it starts empty and fills up from the first thing you copy.
  • If you gave Raycast’s clipboard a hotkey, make sure it is not ⌘⌃V, which is what opens Tucket.
  • If Tucket turns out not to suit you, email within 10 days for a full refund.

Try Tucket

$10 once, for up to 3 Macs, with every update included. If it is not for you, email within 10 days for a full refund. Needs macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

Questions

Do I have to stop using Raycast?

No. Tucket only replaces the clipboard part. Keep Raycast as your launcher and turn its Clipboard History extension off if you do not want two histories.

How long does each keep history?

Raycast’s pricing page lists 3 months on the free plan and unlimited on Pro. Tucket keeps 50 clips to start with, adjustable up to 1,000 or unlimited, and pinboards are never auto-deleted.

Does Raycast read text in screenshots?

Its Clipboard History page does not mention it. Tucket reads every image you copy, on your Mac.
