What is Alfred?
- dineshgowda24 1y agoAlfred is a Spotlight replacement for macOS. https://www.alfredapp.com/ https://www.alfredapp.com/ You can build any workflow based on your use case, and you can execute those right from your keyboard. Workflows are limited only by your imagination, like turning off Bluetooth, killing a process, emptying trash, and much more, just from a few keyboard strokes. For example, this workflow allows you to open a specific service or resource page in the GCP console directly from the keyboard, eliminating the need to navigate to Google Cloud, search for the desired page, and then open it, which can be a time-consuming process. Also, lets you avoid the mouse altogether.

- Telemakhos 1y agoQuicksilver [0] and Alfred [1] are versatile search/launchers for macOS, combining aspects of Spotlight, Launchpad, Finder, and a CLI. You hit a trigger key combination, and you're presented with an app that can interact via keystrokes (generally not mouse actions) with all your other apps and docs, contacts, photos, music, clipboard history, etc. These can involve plugins and workflows that manipulate text, create calendar events or reminders, etc. [0] https://qsapp.com https://qsapp.com (source on github: https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver) [1] https://www.alfredapp.com https://www.alfredapp.com
