## Overview

[Raycast](https://www.raycast.com/) is a fast and extendable launcher for macOS that lets you control your tools with a few keystrokes. The [Prisma Postgres Raycast extension](https://www.raycast.com/amanvarshney01/prisma-postgres) brings database creation and management directly into your workflow.

With the extension, you can create Prisma Postgres databases without leaving Raycast, which suits rapid prototyping and development.
