When I open a new MacBook, Alfred is the first app I install. It’s so ingrained in me that MacOS will be different without it.

The best spotlight upgrade in the business. Faster, more customizable, and with endless extensions and upgrades that don't cost a penny. Totally worth it.

This is a must-have Mac app for me! So many useful workflows, and that's before any of the AI integration. Snippets, quick links, and converters are all so handy.

For me, Alfred is a tool that at this point is essential to the Mac OS operating system. It would be really hard to go back to a life without the shortcuts and functionality it enables.
