How to create a Shortcut

With Raycast 1.92.0, we introduced two Shortcuts to automate Raycast Focus.

  • Start Focus Session
  • Complete Focus Session

They can be discovered in the Apple Shortcuts app sidebar. This can be used to create complex workflows. Such as playing music and set Do Not Disturb on along with a focus session.

The duration parameter is optional. If you don't specify it, a focus session without a timer will start. You'll need to manually end it or complete it using the Shortcut.

FAQs

There's an error with the Raycast Focus Shortcut action.

Raycast is not distributed through the Mac App Store; therefore, errors may occur when Raycast Focus Shortcuts are updated with new features. To resolve this error, you can try the following:

  1. Restart your Mac. This should reinstall the faulty shortcut.
  2. Remove the affected action from your shortcut and re-add it. Ensure that you complete all required fields.
