Antigravity for Raycast

Keyboard-first control for Google Antigravity IDE

2025-11-21

Product Introduction

  1. Antigravity for Raycast is a productivity extension that integrates Google Antigravity IDE functionality directly into the Raycast launcher. It enables developers to manage coding workflows without leaving their keyboard interface.
  2. The core value lies in eliminating context-switching delays by providing instant access to Antigravity projects, files, and workspaces through Raycast's command palette.

Main Features

  1. Search Recent Projects retrieves development environments from Antigravity's internal SQLite database using direct CLI integration, displaying projects sorted by last accessed timestamp with millisecond response times.
  2. Open File/Folder implements a fuzzy-search algorithm across configured project directories (default: ~/Documents) and executes antigravity open-file commands with full POSIX path resolution.
  3. Open New Window initializes fresh Antigravity instances through headless CLI execution (antigravity new-window --silent) while maintaining existing IDE session states through process forking.

Problems Solved

  1. Addresses productivity loss from manual IDE navigation by reducing project/file access operations from 15-30 seconds to sub-second executions via Raycast's hotkey-driven interface.
  2. Targets full-stack developers and engineering managers who utilize Antigravity IDE for multi-project workflows across JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems.
  3. Optimizes repetitive actions during feature development sprints when rapidly switching between microservices, debugging production issues across repositories, or onboarding new team members.

Unique Advantages

  1. Unlike generic IDE launchers, it directly interfaces with Antigravity's proprietary CLI using checksum-verified binary execution rather than simulated UI interactions.
  2. Implements real-time project indexing through filesystem watchers that monitor ~/.antigravity/history.log for changes, ensuring instant availability of new projects.
  3. Provides enterprise-grade reliability through automatic CLI path detection (default: /Applications/Antigravity.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/antigravity) with fallback to user-configured alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. How to resolve "Antigravity CLI not found" errors? Verify installation path matches /Applications/Antigravity.app and ensure execute permissions via chmod +x on the CLI binary.
  2. Why are recent projects not appearing? Confirm project history exists in ~/.antigravity/history.log and check Raycast extension permissions for filesystem access.
  3. Can I customize project root directories? Edit the Project Root setting using absolute POSIX paths, supporting multiple directories separated by colons for cross-volume workflows.
