Orion
Manage your Orion browser from Raycast: search open tabs, bookmarks, history, and reading list, switch profiles, and use a unified Command Bar.
Commands
- Command Bar: an Arc-style unified palette. Search open tabs, bookmarks, reading list, history, and the web from one place, with live search-engine suggestions. Results open in Orion.
- Search Tabs: switch between your open Orion tabs.
- Search Orion Bookmarks, Search Orion Reading List, Search Orion History: browse each, filterable by profile.
- Search Profiles: open one of your Orion profiles.
Use the Command Bar as Orion's new-tab page (Arc-style)
You can make a new Orion tab open the Command Bar, similar to Arc's command bar:
- Get the Command Bar's deeplink. In Raycast, find Command Bar, press
⌘K, and choose Copy Deeplink. It looks like raycast://extensions/plonq/orion/command-bar.
- In Orion, open Settings → General and set Homepage (and, if you want every new tab to use it, New tabs open with → Homepage) to that deeplink.
Now opening a new tab (or pressing the home button) launches the Command Bar. When Orion hands off to Raycast it leaves a blank tab behind; the Command Bar automatically closes those leftover tabs when you open a result. You can turn this off with the Auto-close launcher tabs preference.
Prefer a keyboard shortcut instead? Assign a hotkey to Command Bar in Raycast (Settings → Extensions → Orion → Command Bar) and trigger it from anywhere.
Preferences
- Search Engine: engine used for the Command Bar's live suggestions and web-search fallback (DuckDuckGo, Google, Brave, or Kagi).
- Auto-close launcher tabs: when using the deeplink-as-homepage setup above, close the blank tabs Orion leaves behind. On by default.
- Use Release Candidate: read from
Orion RC instead of Orion.
Notes
- The History command (and the History section of the Command Bar) reads Orion's local history database, which requires granting Full Disk Access to Raycast in macOS System Settings. If it is not granted, history is simply omitted.
