Note from Andrew: While this is a convenient method for updating workflows, I cannot endorse the use of it unless you are fully aware of the security implications of blanket updating all of your workflows. I'm currently working on a built in workflow auto-updater, for a future Alfred 2 release, that performs the standard verification checks that Alfred currently does on manual import, along with migrating your hotkey/keyword settings on upgrading. I'll also be adding 3rd party workflow developer signatures to keep you safe.

Hey all,

I've just completed a workflow designed to make it easier for workflow developers to push updates to their work. (And to their flows.) It's called Alleyoop, it's based very heavily on the concept behind David's old extension updater, and it works a little something like this:

1. When you enter the query oop, it searches through the workflow folders for files named update.json. update.json indicates what version of the workflow is currently installed and where to check for an update. (The format is below.)
2. Alleyoop downloads a remote json file, indicated in update.json, and if that file indicates a higher version, it downloads the workflow at the address given by the remote file.
3. The user finds the workflow in his or her ~/Downloads directory and opens it.
4. There is no step 4.

Workflow developers can start implementing this workflow immediately. All you need is a static place to host a json file and an alfredworkflow file—so Github will do, failing all else, but Droplr won't. Place an update.json file in your workflow, with the following keys defined:

{
    "version": 1.0,
    "remote_json": "http://alfred.daniel.sh/Updates/Things.json"
}

version should be a float, meaning that 1.0 and 1.1 and 3.14159 are all valid, but 3.1.4 is not, and remote_json should point to a json file on a remote server that's defined like this:

{
    "version": 1.5,
    "download_url": "http://alfred.daniel.sh/Workflows/Things.alfredworkflow",
    "description": "Brief description of the update."
}

If the version on the remote server is greater than the version on the user's computer, s/he'll see something like this:

Selecting a workflow from the list will download it. No fuss, no muss.

And that's it! Enjoy implementing this, until we get a good package manager running again, and let me know if you run into any difficulties.

Evernote 6.0

Goals

• Connect direclty to Evernote API even for searching notes
• Search Evernote within Alfred window
• Add notes based on clipboard content, text selection, file, email or typed directly in Alfred window
• If the note is added from Safari, Chrome, Firefox or Mail app save also the URL
• Start Evernote automatically if necessary

Triggering

Keyword enHelp

Learn about Evernote workflow.

Keyword en

Use it to search notes content, titles and tags.

The workflow will display up to 20 notes but the total found will be displayed in the first item. Refine the search to find what you want or click Show in Evernote to continue your search from there.



You can basically search like if you were using Evernote. For example:

• use asterisk as wildcards e.g. xm*
• search in a notebook e.g. notebook:internet
• search only in title e.g. intitle:something
• search for a tag e.g. tag:something
• search for a tag with wildcard e.g. tag:some*

In addition, you can list all your Notebooks by typing a single hash sign:



Then you can select one by hiting return key and then search only in this notebook (after a second hash sign):



Direct Paste: paste the selected note text content directly in another application e.g. a text editor or email.

How to use Direct Paste:

• while writing a document with your text editor for example, bring Alfred and type the keyword en or ent (or use one of the hotkeys)
• after finding your note, highlight it, hold control key and hit return key
• The note text content will be pasted to the editor

Keyword ent

Use it to search in notes titles only.

The workflow will display up to 20 notes but the total found will be displayed in the first item. Refine the search to find what you want or click Show in Evernote to continue your search from there.

You can also use asterisk as wildcards e.g. xm*

Keyword ennew

Use it to add a new note with the clipboad content, text selection, files selected in Finder, messages selected in Mail app or with the text typed in Alfred window. Finder and Mail features will be available only if there is something selected in these applications and they are the topmost one.

ennew without any file or message selected:



ennew with a file selected in Finder:



ennew with a message selected in Mail:




What you can do while creating a New Note using the keyword ennew:

• type the note title (from clipboard, text selection and file from Finder) e.g. ennew my note title
• type tags (comma separated) after typing a hash sign e.g. ennew my note title#tag1,tag2
• add a new note to an existing notebook, or a new one, after a second hash sign e.g. ennew my note title#tag1,tag2#My Notebook
• If you are willing to type a new note the title and the note content will be the same
• Hold control key to append text to an existing note

How to append:

• Highlight one of the note content e.g. Type a Note
• Optionally type the note content and add tags (comma separated) after a hash e.g. ennew my note#tag1,tag2
• hold control key (the subtitle will indicate the appending operation) and hit return key
• a list of notes (only titles will be searched) will be displayed in Alfred
• type something to find your note then select it and hit return key

Mail special feature

You can select messages from Mail then bring Alfred window, type the keyword ennew, then select New Note from Messages Selected in Mail.

The new note will have:

• Message subject as the note title
• Message received date as the note creation date
• Message URL or Link as the note source URL
• A short header (basic email information such as sender)
• A plain text version of the email content

Keyword typenote

Use it to easily create a note by typing in Alfred.

Read about tags, notebook and appending above.

Keyword ensync

Use it to make Evernote synchronize.

Note that in order to make all features work properly the workflow will automatically synchronize Evernote after a new note is created or changed.

Hotkeys

The workflow provides 5 hotkeys:

• en - go to search note content and title
• ent - go to search note title only
• typenote - go to type a new or append text to a note
• New Note from Clipboard - creates a new note with the clipboard content (no interaction)
• New Note from Text Selection - creates a new note with the text selection (no interaction)

File Action

Add files to Evernote from Alfred file browser.

Fallback Search

In order to use this feature add it in Alfred 2 Preferences>Features>Default Results then click Setup fallback results button.

Hi all,

I just wanted to say that I am overwhelmed by the fantastic feedback Alfred v2 has had so far.

Also, I never expected this forum to take off as well as it has, with all of you actively helping other users out with their questions and workflows, not to mention the amazing user workflows which have been created already. You are all helping make the Alfred experience so much better!

Here's to the future!

Cheers,

Andrew

Recent Docs, Folders, Apps + Favorites + Interaction with Open and Save Dialogs (now with auto path) 3.0

Features

• List and open recent Finder items by category in a drill-down menu style
• Just Now category listing the last 24 hours items
• Make recent paths interact with Open and Save dialogs (including auto path)
• Favorites: add custom files and/or folders

Usage

Browsing recent items

• Keyword rec: will list all worflow categories; select a category or type to filter, e.g. rec do will list only the Documents category (see screenshot below)
• Keyword justn: will list the very recent items of all categories; you can also set a hotkey to fast access this category
• Keyword fav: will list your Favorite items. To Add an item to Favorites use Alfred File Action or while browsing any Recent Items category hold fn key and press Return; to remove an item from Favorites, go to Favorites, select the item, hold control key and press Return
• Quick look: highlight any file or folder from any category and hit Shift key in order to preview the item (e.g. a document content)
• Alfred File Action: highlight any recent item and hit right arrow key to bring Alfred File Actions (e.g. copy or email an item)

Interacting with Open/Save dialogs - Part I

• When a open/save dialog appears bring Alfred and use one of the Recent Items keywords such as rec
• Now select an item from any category
• Hold option key and hit Return
• The path of the item will be passed to the open/save dialog

You can use the same approach to change the path from an existing Finder window.
The feature works from any category, keyword or hotkey.

Interacting with Open/Save dialogs - Part II: Auto Path

The feature saves the last used path per Application and you can use this feature to make a default folder for each application (e.g. only use the auto path when you want the most used folder for that application):

• after an open/save dialog appears bring Alfred and type apath keyword and hit Return
• the first time you use the feature for the application the Folders category will be displayed
• select one item from there or any other Recent Items category, hold option key and hit return
• the path will be passed to the dialog and it will also be recoreded
• now the next time you type the keyword the saved path will be passed to the dialog automatically

There is also a hotkey for the auto path feature.

Drill-down menu

Based on the concept by robhor it displays categories and then, once inside one of them, a list of items.

In Recent Items you can also search within a category and a gentle backspace will bring the initial categories.





What’s new

Version 3.0

• Auto path
• Improved favorites sorting
• Improved recent items filter
• Alleyoop 2.0 support

Version 2.0

• Just Now category
• Keyword justn for faster access
• Hotkey for Just Now category
• Small cosmetic changes
• Support for Alleyoop

PS: post wrote with Byword and converted using Markdown to BBCode workflow

The previously released menu search workflow has been universally panned due to the poor performance of the AppleScript that dumps menu contents. The caching of results worked very poorly as a stop-gap. So, I've re-written the menu extraction in Objective-C. It's much faster. The source is here: https://github.com/c...lfred-workflows

You can download the workflow directly from http://tedwi.se/u/db

To recap, this workflow lets you trigger an application's menu's from Alfred. For example, if you're in iTerm and trigger Alfred, you can type 'm view' to get a list of all menu items with 'view' in the name or that belong to the 'view' menu. Selecting one of the entries triggers the corresponding menu entry in iTerm. In one sense it gives you a command-line to control your applications.

The workflow has the beginnings of shortcut key display as well but it's currently disabled due to numerous bugs.

Update: 

v1.3 - Provide error message when assistive devices isn't checked.

v1.2 - Skip the Safari History and Bookmarks menus. They take too long.

v1.1 - I fixed the bug with Alfred not remembering selections and added AlleyOop support. Download from the same link.

Requires OS/X 10.7+.

---

You need to turn on OS/X assistive device support to allow this workflow to operate. You can find the checkbox in Settings. The settings page looks very different in recent versions of OS/X but the wording for providing access for assistive devices is very similar no matter what OS/X version you're using. Here's an image of the settings from the latest version of Mountain Lion.

UPDATE by Vero (Alfred's mum):

The AlfPT site was a pilot project for an installer/updater by Tom Hunt and is no longer available.

AlfPT was a wonderful idea by an Alfred user, Tom Hunt, to create a way for workflows to be updated and gathered in one place. However, Tom has decided to take the project offline (due to school/work commitments and the bandwidth requirements of that project). As such, documentation in this thread is now outdated.

Here's what's coming soon:

- Other users are working on their own repositories for workflows

- We are working on an official v2 Extras site, which will include curated workflows (which we've tested and checked) and themes

We'll also be publishing a few blog posts with our favourite and your favourite workflows very soon, so keep an eye on the blog for the links to the above!

The Unofficial Alfred Workflow Repository

Hi all

Introducing AlfPT - the easy way to install and update your Alfred v2 Workflows.

Download the AlfPT workflow here

Workflow Users

Once you've installed AlfPT use the following commands:

alfpt install {query} :  to find new workflows to install

alfpt install {query} -a {author} -b {bundleid} : filter results by author/bundle id. Both flags are optional.

alfpt update : to list any workflows you've installed through AlfPT that have new versions available. Select one to update.

alfpt update -f : to list all of your workflows, regardless of whether there are new versions available. Select one to update.

Workflow Developers

Want to get your workflows into the repo?

Visit the AlfPT homepage to register and start uploading workflows. 

If there are any files in your workflows that you do not want to be overwritten during the update process (config files and the link) prefix them with an underscore e.g _icons 

It's very likely that the AlfPT workflow will be updated regularly over the next few days so keep alfpt update-ing to get the latest release.

If you run into any problems just let me know.

Happy workflowing!

Tom

(--- update: currently on version 1.05 -- download links all the same)

So, I have a workflow problem in that I like to install them. Quite a few of them, and I can easily lose track of the commands for each of them. Hence, I present to you a tool that I needed for me: Alfred2 Workflows Help.

Basically, this is a python script that will cycle through your workflows folder, process the info.plist files, and grab the hotkeys and commands from each of them. Then it will compile all of them into a Markdown file, and then show that file in a Quicklook window. Yes! Screenshot is below.

Github Repository here: https://github.com/s...2-workflow-help

Download here: https://github.com/s....alfredworkflow

Currently, there is just one command: help.

The file can take a few seconds to generate, and it is generated every time. This will change in a later version.

---

Some notes: The main script (help.py) is written in python, and it's really my first venture into python, so the code might be laughable. I welcome collaboration and commits. I can give you access to the repo if you private message me. I do think that this workflow has a lot of potential.

This is version 1.0, and there are many improvements to be made. It has Alleyoop support, so updating should be easy.

Quirks and files included:

• This workflow displays the file generated through a debug mode of Quicklook (so that the focus doesn't need to switch to finder), so there will always be a "[debug]" message on the window.
• I've included a Quicklook Markdown generator in the workflow to make sure that it always displays correctly.
• There are some images that are included that are not currently used (these are in the "images" folder). They will be used to show the hotkeys later.
• ALP is included. Right now, only part of the library is used, so I might strip it down to make the workflow smaller.

So, the size of the workflow is larger because of these things in there.

---

Roadmap:

• Clean up the help.py code.
• Cache the generated file and update it only when the workflow folder changes.
• Make the display of the file nicer.
• Add in more images to the file.
• Display individual workflow helps (show the data for that workflow as well as the readme.md file).
• Have a better precedent to show either text or subtext for the command help.
• Try to figure out a way to describe arguments taken for different commands / hotkeys.
• Make it understand file actions better.
• Clean up the file/folder structure.
• Maybe some more... any ideas?

Dependencies and Testing:

Built on 10.8.3, but this should be compatible for all systems as the only dependencies are included in the workflow.

Screenshot:

Hey!

I've created this first workflow to try out the new possibilities of Alfreds workflow. It provides two different search methods:

• de - Translating a german word to english and vice versa.
• df - Translating a german word to french and vice versa.
• ds - Translating a german word to spanish and vice versa.

When hitting 'Enter' the translated word is copied to the clipboard. When hitting 'Shift + Enter' the selected word translation is opened with Leo. With Version 1.2 newly introduced a somewhat "automatic" detection of the language of the entered word.

Thanks, at this point, to David Ferguson, whose workflow.php I used to pass the results to Alfred.

Here is the workflow:

https://github.com/psistorm/alfredapp

V1.1:

- Added hotkeys transferring selected text (please choose your own hotkey)

V 1.2:

- Only one keyword per language needed now. The language of the entered word is automatically detected.

- Opening Leo with the selected word when hitting 'Shift + Enter'.

- Fixed problem with german umlauts.

V 1.2.1:

- Fixed problem with opening the URL in some cases.

- Fixed problem with some words.

Best regards,

psistorm

Introduction

With the introduction of Alfred v2.0, the built-in iTunes mini player is now the only way to interact with my iTunes library in Alfred, which includes searching for and playing a particular song. However, I would prefer to quickly search for and play a song without entering the mini player first. Therefore, I created a workflow that would allow me to do so, quickly and easily.

Usage

• Choosing a result from the list will play the song in iTunes.
• Holding down the Command key will reveal the chosen song in iTunes.
• Holding down the Option key will reveal the chosen song in the Finder.
• Holding down the Control key will search the chosen song on Google.

Download

Download "Play Song" Workflow

Enjoy!

Updates

• 2013-03-19: Updated the script with an option to include podcasts (see the podcastsIncluded preference in the script)

Another similar workflow I found here (http://www.alfredfor...ses/?hl=process). It uses `top` command which is too slow.

updated and uploaded to github: http://zhaocai.githu...2-top-workflow/. The initial motive is to avoid frequent visits to the Activity Monitor when the fan goes loud.

Suggestions are welcome. And Please go to http://zhaocai.githu...2-top-workflow/ for better view of the installation instruction.

I like mine minimal. 

v3 Download here (Over 1000 downloads already. Thank you all!)

Although you can't see it, it has a very slight transparency letting th back show just a tad.

Tip: Install the latest version and apply a blur to it. Looks SO cool.

Hi,

I just created an alternative Pinboard workflow that allows searching for pinboard bookmarks within Alfred. It can fetch data asynchronously, so there should not be delays during searches and the matching code has some fuzzy logic. Might come in handy for Pinboard users so I wanted to share.

NOTE: It requires Node.JS to be installed. Please get it from http://nodejs.org if you dont have Node.

Keywords:

pinboardauth username:TOKEN <- set access token (get it from https://pinboard.in/settings/password)

pb query <- search for query

pbunread <- items in read later list

pbreload <- force data reload

Hold cmd while selecting a bookmark to copy it's url to clipboard.

Hold ctrl while selecting to delete a bookmark from your pinboard.

Workflow:

http://db.tt/0y41oFlJ (mirror: http://d.eknkc.com/L6QO)

Source Code:

https://github.com/e...alfred-pinboard

Let me know if it works for you.

This workflow lets Alfred create new reminders in reminders.app, and show current reminders.
 
Basic Usage
 
To use, just type "r reminder_text" into Alfred. E.g. "r check out some of Alfred's other workflows" to find an existing reminder with the search text, or to create a new one.
Actioning an existing reminder marks it as complete.
 
Advanced Usage
 
Hold option to view the new/existing reminder in Reminders.app, hold control to delete it instead of marking it complete.
 
To set a reminder for a specific date, use any of the following commands:

• r today release the hamsters into the wild
• r tomorrow bring about financial ruin upon my enemies
• r thursday have a banana
• r in 5 minutes drop everything
• r in 2 hours laugh out loud in random thoughts list
• r in 3 days 1 hour pick stuff up off the floor
• r on 24/12/13 to forget everything I know about things in movies
• r on 12 June 15 to come up with some interesting ideas
• r on 11 12 13 to check what the weather's like
• r on 31-12-99 23:22 to panic about the millennium bug
• r at 2pm to wait for nothing in particular

• r thursday at 15.30 to ask some difficult questions

You can use most of the same keywords to show existing reminders, so for example "r tomorrow" will show you all reminders that are due tomorrow, "r in thoughts list" will show you the reminders in the "random thoughts" list, and yes, you can do combinations like "r tomorrow in thoughts list"!
 

Reminders from Applications

You can use "r this" to turn the current application into a reminder, such as the current page in Chrome or Safari, or the current Mail message. Again, combinations are possible, "r this today website to check out in procrastination list" is perfectly feasible!
Currently supported applications: Safari, Google Chrome, Mail, Contacts/Address Book, Finder, Chromium, TextMate, TextEdit, Vienna, OmniFocus, WebKit Nightly.
 
Please post with requests for other applications and I'll do my best to add support.
 
 

Getting help
Type "r help" to show the above examples in Alfred
 

 

Dates & times

The order of d/m/y (as well as HH:mm) I believe will depend on your region settings in the OS.

The workflow tries to be smart about times, but due to needing to support both 12 and 24-hour clocks, you will get more predictable results when using "at 11am" rather than "at 11:00"
 

 
Other keywords

• "r all" will show all current reminders
• "r refresh" will show all current reminders and refresh the list
• "r overdue" will display all overdue reminders
• "radd" will show options just for adding reminders
• "rshow" will only show existing reminders
• "rtest" is for debugging purposes and will identify anything that might be broken

If you want to change the default reminder list, edit the applescript property at the top, otherwise it will just use the first one (unless you use "in Y list" at the end).

Disclaimer
This workflow is provided as-is, use it at your own risk. I can't take any responsibility for anything bad that happens as a result of using it, including, but not limited to, loss of data, loss of sanity, spontaneous human combustion.

This workflow was inspired by David Ferguson's Color+Converter extension.

Type a CSS color declaration (like 'rgb(0,0,255)') into Alfred to activate this workflow, or type 'c' and a CSS color to search named colors. The syntax is quite permissive, and will accept things like 'rgb26,30,70', 'hsl ( 62º, 80%%, 90(', etc.; just make sure you spell the named colors correctly. 

You can also use the OS X color picker by typing a keyword ('c', 'rgb', 'hsl', or '#') without any arguments. The color you choose will then be returned to Alfred so you can pick the format you like.

It can convert Hexadecimal, RGB, RGB percent, HSL, and CSS named colors to each other format. It can also handle 32-bit Hexadecimal (has alpha channel), RGBA, RGBA percent, and HSLA formats for you transparency lovers  . Actioning an item will copy the respective declaration (e.g. 'rgba(232, 49, 236, 0.7)' or 'hsl(190, 60%, 80%)') to the clipboard.

Here's what the workflow editor looks like:

I have finally converted my Send URL extension into a workflow.

The workflow selects the URL from the frontmost App or a URL from the Clipboard. Supported Apps are:

• Safari
• Webkit
• Google Chrome (Beta/Dev/Canary)
• Camino
• Opera (and Opera Next)
• Omniweb

You can then send the URL to a variety of Apps

• Safari
• Webkit
• Google Chrome (Beta/Dev/Canary)
• Camino
• Opera (and Opera Next)
• Omniweb
• Firefox (and Aurora)
• iCab
• Sleipnir
• Paparazzi!
• Mail
• Sparrow
• Postbox
• Gmail
• VLC
• Adium (as a chat to an online contact)
• Droplr
• downforeveryoneorjustme.com
• and the clipboard

The workflow only list the Apps installed on you mac.

EDIT:

I have updated Send URL.  

The update fixes a bug where the workflow would not work if the URL contains a '&' and downforeveryoneorjustme.com is not working correctly.

I have also included options to copy the URL as a HTML or Markdown link (including the page title)

As a second workflow using this I built an alternative client workflow to Tom Hunt's Alfred Workflow repository.

It has some performance improvements over the "official" AlfPT workflow, and a few extras like updating all workflows, uninstalling and opening workflow folder from within the workflow.

 

Download: here or via AlfPT

Hi,

Just wanted to share the workflow I just created with other Alfred 2.0 beta testers. I hope that this is the right place to do so.

The workflow allows the user to search YouTube and have the results returned to Alfred and then choose a video to watch. Just type youtube followed by the query. For example, the below will search for Rebecca Black videos.

youtube rebecca black

You can downloaded the latest version here and the source code is available at GitHub.

Find and paste unicode symbols. I included a lot of them, like really a lot, over 20k I think, but for me workflow works pretty fast.

Symbol can be pasted as symbol (mh...), in html encoding, as python string and as unicode code point.
