Text Enhance

Raycast extension for rewriting rough drafts with Raycast AI.

It is built for a fast keyboard-first flow:

• select text in another app and open the command
• adjust purpose, enhancement, tone, model, and instructions
• generate improved text and copy it instantly
• save reusable named presets
• reopen previous results from history

Commands

Enhance Text

Main command for rewriting text.

Features:

• uses selected text first, then clipboard as fallback
• supports purpose-specific rewriting such as email, Telegram, Slack, proposal, or plain text
• supports named presets through a dedicated preset dropdown
• supports follow-up correction prompts for regeneration
• copies generated output automatically when enabled in preferences

Enhancement History

Separate command for browsing previous generations.

Features:

• list previous generated outputs
• inspect full draft and result
• copy a previous result back to the clipboard
• delete a single item
• clear all history

Presets

Presets are named saved configurations, not Raycast drafts.

Each preset stores:

• purpose
• enhancement
• tone
• model
• creativity
• extra instruction

How it works:

• choose No Preset to work with custom settings
• choose a named preset from the preset dropdown to apply it
• press Cmd+S to save the current settings as a new preset
• press Cmd+Shift+Backspace to delete the selected preset

If you manually change preset-controlled fields after applying a preset, the UI switches back to No Preset.

Remembered Settings

When no preset is selected, the extension remembers the last used settings for:

• purpose
• enhancement
• tone
• model
• creativity
• extra instruction

The draft text itself is not remembered.

Use Cmd+Shift+R in the main command to clear remembered settings and return to your extension preference defaults.

Preferences

The extension includes global defaults in Raycast preferences:

• default purpose
• default enhancement
• default tone
• default model
• default creativity
• default extra instruction
• auto-copy generated result

These are startup defaults only. They are separate from named presets.

Model Access

Models in this extension are provider-specific.

Examples:

• Google Gemini models require Raycast Pro or a Google API key configured in Raycast Settings > AI
• Anthropic Claude models require Raycast Pro or an Anthropic API key configured in Raycast Settings > AI
• OpenAI GPT models require Raycast Pro or an OpenAI API key configured in Raycast Settings > AI

Important:

• OpenRouter keys in Raycast do not automatically apply to provider-specific Google, Anthropic, or OpenAI model selections in this extension
• the extension uses Raycast's public AI model API, which does not expose the same dynamic model picker as Raycast Quick AI

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run in local Raycast development mode:

npm run dev

Validate the extension:

npm run lint
npm run build

Requirements

• Raycast installed on macOS
• Raycast AI enabled for the user account, or compatible model access configured through Raycast

Storage Model

The extension currently stores three kinds of data:

• presets: named saved settings
• history: saved generation results
• Raycast preferences: global startup defaults

Raycast form drafts are intentionally disabled.

The author field in package.json must match your Raycast username for publishing and validation.
