My Raycast Setup: The Ultimate Spotlight Replacement
Christopher Lawley
@chrislawleyAbout
This channel is all about doing more with the devices you already have. Whether it's taking better photos with your iPhone, using your iPad for productivity, getting more out of your Mac, or building custom automations to help with your tasks. I cover everything from apps to interesting gadgets, new tech, and more. I started this channel in 2016 with a series called App Walkthrough. The channel grew from that, and I have covered topics like making the iPad my main computer, building custom Shortcuts automations, and weird and interesting tech gadgets. There is so much to explore, so be sure to subscribe.
