What it does

Search for Norwegian companies directly from Raycast. View company details, financial information, and locations. Save favourites for quick access. All data comes from the official Brønnøysund Register Centre (Brreg) API.

Quick start

Type a company name or 9-digit organisation number in the search bar.

Examples:

  • Equinor — search by name
  • 916880286 — search by organisation number (must be exactly 9 digits)
  • DNB — partial name search

Search rules

  • Name search: Type any part of a company name. Results update as you type.
  • Organisation number: Must be exactly 9 digits. Incomplete numbers (fewer than 9 digits) won't trigger a search.

Favourites

Favourites are stored locally on your device using Raycast's local storage. They appear above search results and are hidden while you're typing.

Managing favourites:

  • Add: ⌘F from search results or company details view
  • Remove: ⌘⇧F from search results or company details view
  • Customise emoji: Choose from predefined categories (⭐ Star, 🏦 Bank, 📈 Growth, 🧪 Test, 🛍️ Retail, 🧑‍💻 Tech, 🏗️ Construction, 🏥 Health, 🍽️ Food, ⚙️ Industry) or set a custom emoji
  • Automatic favicon: Company website favicons are detected and displayed automatically
  • Reorder: Enable move mode with ⌘⇧M, then use ⌘⇧↑ and ⌘⇧↓ to reorder favourites
