Impressive timing for a response. Wonder if they had a little birdy that tipped them off beforehand?

- dangoor 12y agoProbably just quick typists. Alfred (of which I'm a user) was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw a screenshot of the new Spotlight.
- cake 12y agoFrom what I can see, it looks like Spotlight is becoming smarter and closer to alfred than ever. It dosen't look like the dumb file finder they seem to present it to be.
- amirmc 12y agoOnly in some ways. I doubt it will be as customisable nor the developers as responsive to feedback.
- samskeller 12y agoYeah, the new Spotlight seems to be almost inspired by Alfred
- jlavarj 12y agoThis post and comments just convinced me to give Alfred a try. I always thought it was just a UI for spotlight.
- danudey 12y agoAlfred is built on Spotlight in the same way that Dropbox is built on the local filesystem. It uses it for the backend, but it provides features far and above the core functionality by doing a lot more with that data than simply accessing it.
- peedy 12y agoThe screen shots were leaked a few hours before the keynote started. So, they might have seen it coming.
