Why would you call it Raycast? Does cast rays in any way?

It’s a bit of a metaphor. It’s one app to control all your tools. A bit part of that is searching. So the app “casts rays” to find content.

Though yeah, bit farfetched maybe but also somewhat fitting.

I assumed it was something to do with ray tracing or video casting (Miracast, Chromecast).
