Alfred is an award-winning app for Mac OS X which boosts your efficiency with hotkeys, keywords, text expansion and more. Search your Mac and the web, and be more productive with custom actions to control your Mac.
@rrhoover not taking away from Alfred, but if you use OS X's built-in text replace, it carries over to your other devices. I add a / then whatever. So I can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and ﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ all over the place
@ndyno@rrhoover I use them everywhere, from Facebook to Tweetbot to Snapchat to Day One to even Clash of Clans. The only app I use across desktop+mobile that blocks them is Slack, and since I start many of my own replacements with / I have a double-whammy against me there.
Edit: I should add that Chrome is one of the apps that doesn't play friendly with it, and Slack (desktop) is a wrapper of Electron which is based on Chromium, afaik.
So excited for the new release of Alfred! The new Workflow editor looks like it'll make programming your Mac to do your bidding so much better!
There's also new snippet expansion, multimedia clipboard, better theming and more.
This looks like an amazing release. The workflow editor looks great! I wonder if there are any plans for a directory or repository of pre-made workflows. Would definitely use 🙌
I have been supporting Alfred since the beginning. They have done a wonderful job with this app and I think everybody should download it and use it. If you use Font Awesome, do yourself a favor and find the Font Awesome workflow.
@redbeard0x0a to me it embodies everything an app should be: clear interface with no bells and whistles, extremely functional, bugs free as far as I'm concerned, AND incredible customer support. Can't recommend it enough.
I use Alfred since day one. This is one of the apps that I don't mind paying for an upgrade. Whenever a new Mac comes to my hands, it is the first app I install. I even install it on friends' Macs. Awesome!
It just keeps getting better and better - timely too as with the improvement of snippets (and auto expand) I no longer need TextExpander (or its renewal cost - bargain!)
Do the Alfred 2 powerpacks not work with Alfred 3? I googled alfred evernote and came across this workflow: https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/p... but it no work.
@chuckkahn Alfred 2 workflows will import into Alfred 3 perfectly fine, but some workflows like the Evernote one, require a little bit of extra love as Evernote stores data in different locations (depending on version and on whether you're using the App Store or direct download). Take a look at alfredforum.com if you need a hand getting up and running with it :)
I've been an Alfred customer for a while, and I can't live without it. If you are a 2.0 customer, you'll have to pay some euros, but it is well worth it for the work these guys have put in. This new release adds new goodies while not breaking the core of its awesome feature set. Love the refreshed look for Mac OS 10.11 too. It will be interesting to see how the new snippet feature effects installs of TextExpander...
I've been an Alfred user for a long time. It's such a great tool to increase your productivity and overall use. I can't recommend it enough. I can't wait to dive in to all of the cool new features and updates!

I cannot imagine how to use Mac without it. Finding apps by name is more convenient for me that do it with standard ways that iOS provides
Pros:Very simple UI, easy to use, speed up my navigation through the many opened apps.
Cons:None
