Raycast extension for Hex #1686
Description
What are you trying to do?
I’d like to search my Hex dictation history and control common Hex features directly from Raycast on macOS. The Superwhisper Raycast extension inspired the idea.
I put together an early Hex extension that I’ve installed locally:
What would help?
A Hex extension in the Raycast Store with these commands:
- Search retained dictation history and copy or paste a result.
- Search and toggle Labs and settings flags.
- Start or stop recording.
- Copy the latest saved transcript or paste the last dictation.
The prototype uses Hex’s existing CLI and runs locally.
Would you be interested in publishing a Hex extension to the Raycast Store with these features, potentially using the prototype or its specifications?

cool idea. the release cli already covers almost all of it:
hex history --search,hex settings,hex labs on|off,hex dictation start|stop|toggle|cancel,hex paste-last. only gap is copying the last dictation straight to the clipboard, thoughhex history --limit 1 --jsongets you there. command shapes can change between versions, so call thehexinside the installed Hex.app and use--json.we haven't decided yet whether we'd ship and maintain an official store extension ourselves. want to keep publishing yours under your own name? and would a stable json contract plus a copy-last command be what unblocks you?

I’d prefer the Hex team to publish it, since an official extension would be easier for people to find and trust. I’m happy to help polish it.
There’s no immediate blocker. The extension uses
hex history --limit 1 --jsonand Raycast’s clipboard API to copy,hex paste-lastto paste, andhex settingsplushex labs listto show and change settings.I’ve tested the extension locally, and the commands seem to work well.
