Syllo workflows and tradeoffs
Open Syllo's launcher and search for an app, file, setting, note or copied item. Pin frequently used results and keep supported commands close. The same notch opens into the Shelf, capture tools, music and the Agent tab. The launcher guide explains search and actions.
Raycast's extension ecosystem is a central part of its workflow, and its manual covers clipboard history, notes, window management and AI features too. Syllo does not import Raycast extensions or promise equivalent commands. Compare the actual commands you use; choose Syllo when the notch and its built-in tools suit your work, with a paid plan and supported hardware.
Explore Syllo for Windows or Syllo for Mac for platform features, requirements and downloads.
Which to choose
- If your work depends on particular Raycast extensions, stay with Raycast or check each one first. Syllo doesn't run them.
- If you want the launcher alongside a file shelf, screenshots, recordings and agent activity at the top of the screen, try Syllo.
- Syllo can bring in quick links, snippets and notes from another launcher's local backup. See Launcher.
- Syllo has no Intel Mac build.
Questions
Does Syllo run Raycast extensions?
No. Syllo uses its own built-in tools and supported integrations. Check any workflow that depends on an extension before you switch.
