One of the biggest updates to Alfred — my favorite Mac launcher — in a while. And very much anticipated! Eager to update my Workflows!

Alfred 5 is our biggest and most polished release yet! Thanks to our incredible community for taking part in the Early Access, providing invaluable feedback and creating fantastic workflows using the new Automated Tasks as building blocks for even better codeless workflows. We have some awesome plans for the life of Alfred 5; As we've always done, we keep developing and adding to Alfred's features far beyond the first major release, so there's some really fun stuff ahead! Again, thanks to our Legendary Supporters, workflow creators and community members for their support over the years. You rock! :)

Thank you for being my most frequently used app on the Mac! Highly recommended.

Alfred is my first download for any new Mac & I will never stop recommending it to my friends. Excited for 5!

An amazing upgrade to my favourite multi-functional launcher. It just keeps getting better and better. Had to upgrade my Powerpack license as a thank you to the team. Congrats on the launch of v5.

My most used app of all time. Lifetime supporter of this great tool.

This is a very nice productivity tool for quickly searching for things without opening your browser. I just installed it and while I am yet to discover its true potential, it has impressed me already. Great job @chrismessina 💪

Their new competitor’s upgrade PH launch crossed 800 upvotes. How much will this one score? Or has the ray been cast?

Wow! Workflows is really amazing feature for Alfred!

Such a great tool. Long time waited for an update 🙏

I love Alfred. Use it daily ✅

Probably the app I miss the most on Windows. Even the best alternatives don't come close to Alfred.

Alfred is why I can't use another OS other than Mac, as much as Apple tries to sabotage macOS. I love Alfred.

Congratulations on the release of v5! Alfred is such an awesome tool that blends in to my daily use of macOS and feels so naturally that every time I sit in front of my Windows or Linux machine, I feel like I've jumped into a time machine that took me 10 years back. Gonna re-new my lifetime license to support you guys!

Love Alfred and looking forward to creating more workflows!

I was an instant upgrade for me. Can't wait to have enough time to play with the newbies! 🙌

One of my favorite MacOS apps. The first thing that I install on new machines.

I've been an Alfred user for years. I can't use a Mac without it. Even though I have a lifetime license, this developer stills earns my respect and continued financial support. With new features and continual improvements, Alfred is utterly incredible. With V5, I've spent a bit of time with the new workflow editor. The addition of native MacOS shortcut support is more useful than I expected. In about 3 minutes, I was able to build a super specific workflow that sent some simple user input to a MacOS shortcut that one of my apps exposed. Sure, I could have coded some AppleScript or some shell code or something to do the same task, but Alfred made this so easy. It was almost zero effort to go from "hey I could save some time if I could just pop open my Alfred dialog and get this chunk of text processed quickly" to a fully functional workflow. Really. I’m not exaggerating here. So, really, this new version maintains all the extensible power (and some new bits thrown in) from previous versions while also bringing in some ideas on how not focus so much about the underlying code for simple reusable functions. Chain them all together and you can do just about anything. I'm also interested to watch how mature the new automation tasks feature becomes.

This is fantastic! Kudos to the team!

Can't live without it.
