I just wanted to share my moment with Alfred today.
 
As Ive started to do more things with code, I started using big old blocks of ASCII text to make my code more fun and browse-able. For example:

 
So I had been using this web site (https://ascii.today/) where I would type out my heading, then scroll to find my preferred typeface, then click copy, switch back to my text editor and paste.
 
So many clicks!
 
Today I realised I'd done this enough times and it was inefficient. Time to put Alfred to work. So I went to the source and found that website was built on figlet.js. Within about 10 minutes I had it installed (along with its CLI) and a tiny little Alfred workflow that puts it to use. Now sure, one might argue that 'it's going to take a few headings before I break even on that 10 minutes spent', but its not just about time. Now I have this capability at my fingertips, I can perform the task without breaking flow. That's the magic, that's the Superpower!
 

 
Anyway, I just wanted to post this as a little anecdote. Ever since I started dabbling in the command line / scripting / Alfred node based workflows – my time spent on the computer has become way more rewarding. I have styled Alfred to suit my personality, and every time I invoke Alfred to do something unique to my workflow, I am utterly delighted. 
 
 

It is not, but thank you for the thought.
 
 
And thank you for the kind words too.

Google Drive isn't really indexed by macOS, it uses a different mechanism / workaround to return results to macOS. 
 
This is why we recommend the Google Drive workflow, as it continues to work reliably, regardless of what shenanigans Google get up to when releasing new versions of Google Drive  
 
 

The Touchbar was an experiment by Apple, which is more or less falling by the wayside now. It's only available on a shrinking subset of Macs. As such, it hasn't been an area of focus given all the other ideas we have that will benefit the broader Alfred community.

@meeffe A quick look online tells me that Nimbus (https://nimbusweb.me/note.php) is an Electron apps. 
 
Developers sometimes choose Electron because it makes it easy to create one cross-platform app, rather than creating a native Mac app, as well as native ones for their other platforms. However, Electron also usually means that the app lives in its own box, with no integration possible.
 
You may need to contact them to find out whether any way of searching the app from an external app is possible.

@mickjsanders Welcome to the forum  @Floating.Point has a great suggestion; List Filters are super useful.
 
You could also have a look at the nicknames trick, setting all three as "browser"; They'll then all show up when you type "browser" into Alfred, and you can then use Cmd + number to trigger the correct one.
 
Have fun

I just logged in to write you a massive thank you for providing this. Was just about to write my own workflow when I found yours, thank you for saving me the time. 

@dtong Welcome to the forum  Take a look at the Appearance Options, where you can set where you want Alfred to appear; On the default screen, mouse screen or active screen.
 
Here's more about the Appearance options:

@mathieudaudelin I would second @Stephen_C's suggestion that a collection of snippets is likely your best way to have non-time-sensitive clips of text you can use any time.
 
You can add them via a snippet keyword, or by using the Clipboard / Snippets Viewer to browse the collection of items. They'll be backed up / synced and therefore protected from any clipboard expiry
 

@Jason Lau Have you had a look at the link I provided in my previous reply? Based on your reply and diagnostics, it seems likely that you're encountering a known issue with the macOS Monterey Migration Assistant. The issue and workaround are outlined here:

Let me know how you get on after following step 2 and widening your search scope.

@tga Drop us an email on our info@ address and we'll help you get that updated

@Chris Messina Yes, it's been around for a long time and is intended for companies who want to distribute a single-key license to their team. Many of the companies you're familiar with use that method to share the Alfred love with their team
 
All the details are here:
https://www.alfredapp.com/help/corporate-licensing/
 
More specifically, the 5.0.2 update is the first Alfred 5.x that will be suitable for corporate licensing activation, as we roll this out a few weeks after the general 5.0 release, which ensures everything's nicely settled down by the time we distribute to these larger teams. 

@Sam Tang Welcome to the forum. What @deanishe is saying in his very succinct response is that this has been answered many times in recent months and that the best first step when looking for answers is to use the search feature.
 
Having said that, we've now created a step-by-step guide to troubleshooting this issue, which seems to be caused by a bug in the macOS Monterey Migration Assistant, resulting in files not being found when they should be. 
 
Please take a look at this guide and follow the instructions carefully:
https://www.alfredapp.com/help/troubleshooting/indexing/monterey/
 
I'm confident this will solve your issue, but if for any reason, you still have indexing issues, please follow up in the relevant thread linked below. I'll now lock this thread to avoid splitting up the discussion of the same topic any further.

Thank you, good point! I've updated the Workflow, the download link should give you the new version with User Configuration implemented.

@smoitzheim Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing your workflow
 
As a suggestion, you could set up the configuration to be done via the User Configuration feature:
https://www.alfredapp.com/help/workflows/user-configuration/
 
This would mean that users don't need to dig into the Run Script to add their own configuration details.

@Tom Barbaro Taking a look at the ChangeCase workflow (found here), it uses Python 3, which isn't installed by default in macOS, so you'll need to install Python 3 if you haven't already done so.

@mlondon The built-in workflow you can use for this is under Workflows > [+] > Examples > Simple Folder Search

@bo9 Alfred Snippets are synced between your Macs (if you've set up syncing), but the Clipboard History is stored locally only. 
 
Having said that, if both of your Macs use modern versions of macOS, the macOS Universal Clipboard feature takes care of copying the latest entry to your other device.

@bo9 To copy from Alfred's Clipboard History, either use the Return key if the location you want to paste to is the frontmost app already, or use Cmd + C to copy it to your current clipboard. It's not possible to drag a clipboard entry with the mouse.

@Nuno iCloud isn't currently recommended due to being slower at syncing (sometimes not syncing at all for a long period of time), being less reliable and doing a poor job of file conflict resolution.
 
In our internal testing and when supporting users who chose to use iCloud, we saw preferences being lost, especially due to file conflicts where iCloud loses files or reverts to old versions when it's unable to resolve them.
 
We're very keen to improve the sync options and already have a broad plan for this. There are quite a few aspects to doing this well, such as adding an automatic local backup option, ensuring that if syncing goes wrong, you have a recent backup you can go back to, so we'll be looking into this further once Alfred 5 is out and settled.
 
Having said that, if you'd like to experiment with using iCloud, you can do it; Just make sure you keep your preferences backed up using Time Machine or another regular backup service of your choice.

@marfon Welcome to the forum
 
First, to customise a theme, make sure you're using either a custom theme or duplicate one of the default ones (as it's not possible to modify a default theme).
 
Next, hover on the left or right side of the theme where you'll see "Drag to enlarge window width" as subtext at the bottom
 
Let me know how you get on.

@sepulchra What exactly didn’t you like about the existing options? That is important information to have before considering an alternative. Not all pomodoro timers use tomatoes.
