Raycast are not building Mac apps the apple way though. They are using react native and I am willing to bet that this does too.
replyI always thought it was native. You can write extensions using React, yes, but I was under the impression those got compiled to their internal Swift-based UI components

replyRaycast recently made a Windows version. So perhaps they aren't as Apple-centric.

replyNo kidding, although I think Apple would only be interested if it uses SwiftUI. (The marketing page doesn't say. Raycast itself uses React + Node for extensions, but its React components render to native widgets.)
A similar product in the mobile space is Rork - I haven't used it but I've seen it on twitter a bit. I definitely wouldn't be surprised to see Apple acquire one of them.
