Got a new Mac? Follow this guide to migrate your Raycast setup and stay produtive the minute you open your new device.
Steps to Follow
- Install all your applications first. This guarantees that aliases and hotkeys work right away without further setup.
- Open Raycast and skip the the onboarding.
- When you open the Raycast app and go to Raycast Settings (
⌘,), then Account tab, make sure that you are logged in. - If you have a pro account, you can enable Cloud Sync on your new Mac. Make sure that Cloud Sync was previously enabled on your old Mac. Otherwise you can loose some data.
- Run the
Export Settings & Datacommand on your old Mac. - Airdrop the exported file to your new Mac and double click to import your previous configuration.
Depending on the amount of installed extensions and customizations, the import might take a few minutes.
Things that aren’t migrated
The export command doesn’t migrate the following:
- Screenshots. To migrate those, simply copy them over to your new machine. If you want to keep them always synchronized, you can set up a folder in your iCloud Drive or Dropbox.
- Clipboard History
- Emoji Picker custom keywords
