Raycast vs Alfred: Which macOS Launcher Is Better? (ft. Roman V)

About this episode

I've been wanting to try the Alfred macOS app for quite some time now, to see what it's all about and how it compares to what I currently use, which is Raycast. So in this video my good friend Roman shows me how he uses Alfred and I compare it to the way I use raycast, in case you're interested in giving Alfred or Raycast a go, this video will be informative and help you understand both tools
