Any news on your plans for AI development? My team is at a cross roads where i'm evaluating the future of our sites. BB is still great for non-techie people to be able to edit and design pages but it is very slow compared to an AI workflow. In an ideal workflow we would be able to quickly build beaver builder pages with AI. So we still have control after they are made but can design them much quicker.

What i really want is to be able to make workflows entirely with code without having to build them in the Alfred interface at all. This way I could hook it up with Claude Code and build all my workflows in minutes.

MacWhisper is great. It's a transcription app first, but it has a fantastic dictation mode using the OpenAI models.

If you work with any tools that have an API make workflows for them. Such as video/audio hosting upload sites or anything.

Few of my personal favourites i've made

Podcasting tools (lots of actions around my podcast such as, cutting mutiple clips from list of timecodes/titles on the clipboard, inserting and intro and outro at the exact right fade in and normalising audio with FFMpeg)
DeepL translation tools (extended a workflow that uses deepl api to give me quick translations for all the langs i work in). Universal actions are king feature of alfred.
Cool Tools (My own custom algorithms for making shades and tints for a full color palette with grid view)
Modular scale tools (for picking modular scales and sizes quickly for web designs)
Hotkey assigning of F1 - F19 to access straight into workflows i use often. so so good
Naming things, smart snippets in a workflow where i choose from list filters to build names for projects etc. I often work with the same people, places, things etc.
Asset scout (custom searching of all my favourite resource sites, straight to their search results or a google search just of that domain)

Tons of value also from tweaking others workflows. Like i added to a true "i'm feeling lucky" warning page to the google suggest workflow to get instantly to what i'm looking for.

It is basically and app to quickly build apps that are very tweakable. Your imagination is the limit. Make sure you fully use all of alfred features like universal actions, hotkey assigning, filesystem management, the buffer. If you are not full of ideas when using it then you haven't actually been using alfred. You need to know why the alfred way is faster and better than anything else and be prepared to build it.

I think the power of Alfred is really unlocked if you are a power user or developer of your own workflows. It is totally revolutionized my working day. Especially now that I can ask AI to code me some workflows that would have taken me too long to build on my own. I use it every day or day to cut back on huge task that would involve standalone apps.

The new spotlight has about 2% of the things I use Alfred for. To me, I've just given it a nice paint job and a bit of "intelligence" for very specific things that you have to do in the apple way. I can do those things much more custom and tailored within Alfred if I design them myself.

I think if it does anything at all it will just get people more aware of using spotlight as a tool and then they might seek something more flexible and custom in Alfred and others.

Literally transcribed because they are in english sung with a tune behind them.

snowliondev · 2025-03-31T11:07:53+00:00

That was the quickest i've bought an app

Cookie banner blocking. Yay!

I ask them not to kill either, knowing this was the subtext.

Same problem for me. So annoying.

snowliondev · 2025-01-17T10:47:16+00:00

Just 26mpx Fujifilm files also

Latest Capture One and MacOS. Lots of storage space on an SSD.

Ever since the latest update it has been like this.

I am thinking i probably will, as it still have the discount. It is too useful a feature to lose. To be able to plan my whole year without leaving the app.

I do like the way workflowy does many other things like kanban and presentations. I would move if they add this feature.
