What Raycast Store does for a launch

Developer directories list libraries, open-source projects, APIs, self-hosted apps and MCP servers. Developers search them with a job in mind, and many are built from GitHub repos or pull requests rather than a submit form, so a clear README matters as much as the listing.

How to get listed on Raycast Store

  1. Check how Raycast Store adds projects: a submit form, a pull request to a list, or automatic indexing from GitHub or a package registry.
  2. Make your README do the selling: what it does in one line, a screenshot or GIF, install steps and a license.
  3. Pick the most specific category or tag; developers browse narrowly.
  4. If Raycast Store works from pull requests, follow its contribution guide exactly: format, alphabetical order and description length.
  5. Keep the project active. Many developer directories rank or hide projects by recent commits and releases.

Tips for Raycast Store

  • An extension for your product puts it in front of Raycast users every day; follow Raycast's extension guidelines to publish.

What to prepare before you submit

You'll paste the same things into every launch platform and directory, so write them once:

  • A tagline under 60 characters that says what it does (see how to write a product tagline).
  • A description under 160 characters, plus a longer one of two or three short paragraphs.
  • A square logo (at least 256×256) and three or four screenshots at the same size.
  • Your pricing in one line, including whether there's a free plan.
  • A spreadsheet of where you submitted, the listing URL and whether the link is followed.

Frequently asked questions

Is listing on Raycast Store free?
Most developer and open-source directories are free, and some are community-maintained lists you add to by pull request. Check Raycast Store's submit or contributing page for its current rules.
Does my project need to be open source for Raycast Store?
It depends on the directory. Open-source lists require an open-source license, while API, MCP and tool directories often accept closed-source and paid products too. Raycast Store's submission rules say which.
Does a Raycast Store listing help SEO?
It helps developers discover the project and gives search engines another page about it. Links from lists on GitHub and many directories are nofollow, so the value is mostly in being found.

IndieLaunch isn't affiliated with Raycast Store. What's here comes from its own site, checked October 18, 2026; prices and policies change, so check before you submit. Our full list is in the startup directories guide.
