Commands
-
Upload Clipboard
Uploads the copied file or screenshot and copies its link.
-
Upload Selected Files
Uploads the files selected in Finder (or File Explorer on Windows) to your default destination.
-
Upload File
Pick files, a destination and an optional folder, rename a single file, or have uploads deleted after a set time. The default, Automatic, sends each file to the destination whose Use For claims it, or to your default destination. Pick whether it makes a short link, or leave it to the destination's setting.
-
Search Uploads
Search your upload history with thumbnails of photos, videos, PDFs and documents, copy links as URL, Markdown, HTML or your own template, or show a link as a QR code. Replace File (⇧⌘R, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows) puts a new file behind the same link, and the details show when it was replaced. Uploads with a short link show its clicks: copy the short link (⇧⌘L, Ctrl+Shift+L on Windows) or the original, or create one for an upload that has none.
-
Browse Buckets
Browse every folder and file in your buckets with thumbnails, copy public or temporary links or show them as QR codes, rename, move, delete, replace a file without changing its link, and upload into any folder.
-
Watched Folders
See the folders Aktar uploads from automatically and what each one is doing, turn folders on or off and pause watching for an hour, until tomorrow or until you resume.
-
Toggle Watching
Pauses or resumes all watched folders with one keystroke.
-
Connect to Aktar
Pairs the extension with Aktar in one click.
Ask Raycast AI things like @aktar find the invoice I uploaded last week or @aktar give me a 2-hour link to backups/notes.md. Raycast AI asks before it creates a temporary link, which lasts 1 hour unless you ask for longer (24 hours at most). It can also make a short link for an upload, and asks first, since the shortener sees the link.
Setup
- Install Aktar (0.18.0 or later on a Mac, 0.11.0 or later on Windows) and add a destination in its Settings.
- Install the Aktar extension from the Raycast Store.
- Run Connect to Aktar in Raycast and click Connect in the dialog Aktar shows.
Your keys stay in Aktar
The extension never sees your storage credentials. It asks Aktar to do the work over a local connection on your computer (127.0.0.1), which is off until you connect and never accepts connections from other computers or web pages.
Every request needs a random token that Aktar keeps in the Keychain on a Mac, or in Credential Manager on Windows. Turn the connection off or create a new token any time in Settings → Integrations.
Requirements
- macOS 14 Sonoma or later, or Windows 10 or 11
- Aktar for Mac 0.18.0 or later, or Aktar for Windows 0.11.0 or later, with at least one destination
- Raycast for Mac or Raycast for Windows
