Raycast is a fast launcher that replaces Spotlight and can run script commands and extensions. It is excellent at finding and opening things. It is not built around repeatable shell commands that live in your tray and get scheduled.
Ordito is purpose-built for the commands you already know and run over and over. It lives in the system tray, runs commands with one click, schedules them, and keeps a full history of every execution. It complements a launcher rather than replacing one.
Use Ordito if you want
A dedicated home for repeatable shell commands with scheduling and history.
Keep Raycast if you want
A general launcher for apps, calculations, clipboard, and extensions.
