Hi, I just changed my keyboard to 60 keys, and now I can use the commonly used shortcut for 'open with' using Alfred. Anyone knows where or how I get that menu? (Mac)

basic features you'd like to see in such a workflow?

Taskade has been upgraded with incredible add-ons that now allow you to unleash the full potential of your productivity. With the ability to create agents to perform tasks for you and to set up automations, the possibilities are endless. However, I would love to leverage Alfred seamlessly:

1. Select text or links and seamlessly send them to a project as a task or as part of a task list.

2. Download PDFs or assets directly into Taskade's media tray from a link by simply copying to Alfred.

3. Access a project using an Alfred shortcut and view its tasks, enabling me to easily mark them as completed.

4. Effortlessly create a project or add a task to an existing project directly through Alfred.

I have more specific requirements, but these are the essential features that I would love to see integrated into a workflow.

you can make one in any language you like

I am completely unaware of the meaning behind your words.

@harlowhenry Got it! I’m only good at html/css java and php! So, I think Alfred will never handle Taskade for me then…

in your case, you will need to write some code to use this API.

Thank you, Andrew! Although I'm not a programmer, I would absolutely love to utilize Alfred with Taskade. Now that the API is accessible, I am determined to figure out a way to make it happen.

I was looking for a workflow to use with Taskade, my Task Manager tool. Unfortunately, I discovered that an API was required to create one, but the developer of Taskade didn't have one at the time. This dashed my hopes of having the workflow I wanted. However, now the developer has released an API for sharing, and I'm wondering if using it will allow me to finally create my desired workflow. There's just one problem - I'm not a programmer, and this will be my first attempt at using the Alfred platform for that. Is it possible for me to create a workflow with the API, or is it beyond my capabilities?

They have an API now! https://developers.taskade.com/docs/

My apologies if I inadvertently gave the impression that your assistance was not appreciated. I assure you it was not my intention. Moving on to another matter, @Andrew input was more along the lines of "aiding" rather than simply "delivering information". The inclusion of a useful link and his pinpoint accurate responses were indeed commendable. Thanks to both for your patience and help! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

@Andrew So, I need to erased the one I have and Install that version and everything will be back to normal? OMG! yes! thanks. BTW I'm running in my Mac mini M1 Version 5.1.3 is that the latest version for Ventura? So far so good with that version.

You can view which version of Alfred you're using from the hat in the menu bar

Don't have the menubar icon but I was able to get this:

Every time I try to see preferences or about the app it crashes. Is there other way to see the app version? Maybe if you tell me how I can tell you.

@Stephen_C Help me answer

Can you clarify which version of Alfred you're using on that Mac?

I told you what Machine and OS I am using. Every time I try to see preferences or about the app it crashes. Is there other way to see the app version? Maybe if you tell me how I can tell you.

This week, the status changed to 'In Progress'! That's promising! 

I have a Mac from 2011 running macOS Yosemite 10.10 and lately I can access the preferences. I can use it for everything I was used to the only thing I can't is accessing the preferences and I need to update a couple of workflows. Is there a way to fix this or this is too old for you to resolve? In case you need to know I have various Macs from different years. Some are used as servers other as App especific machines and M1 as well... 

My team use a Team Collaboration Platform called Taskade and It will be great to use Alfred to add tasks and update projects. They even offer API.

Just wanted to share some key pointers so others in a similar position can get this up and running asap

Hopefully @Andrew won't delete your post. Evidently it is not easy for a non-tech user.

macOS does this by prompting to install Apple's developer tools

Thank you for taking down the link. The OP lacks technical knowledge and may not comprehend terms like Dependency Resolution, Homebrew, and manual installation of Python 3. If the OP can install Python 3 through Alfred, that's fine. But if they need to take additional steps to install it, they might harm their computer. It's important to pay attention when someone says they are not technically inclined. Initially, I thought I was assisting by providing installation guidance, but I appreciate you taking action.

This workflow specifically requires Python 3, which is installed automatically by Apple / macOS

If I’m not mistaken, macOS has Python 2 installed by default. 
Here’s how to upgrade to 3. Not easy for a not technical user.

I am not technical

I've been using Alfred since its debut, and it's important to understand that this app can be either simple or complex depending on your needs. If you're not tech-savvy, I recommend not experimenting with things you're unfamiliar with. Installing additional programming languages like Python involves using the terminal, which can potentially harm your computer, and no one will assist you afterward. The only challenge or advantage with Alfred lies in its versatility, making it difficult to create a tutorial or provide an easy learning curve. To fully benefit from it, you need to have technical knowledge. Chatfred is useful until your free API credits run out, but you can purchase an app for audio transcription in the app store with a one-time payment. Additionally, you can enjoy ChatGPT for free indefinitely with Wavelength on your Mac, which is perfect for non-technical users.

My company switch the task manager app to Taskade and I wonder if there's a workflow for it or an easy way to use it with Alfred. Thanks

allows you to see how much you've used daily.

Why I can’t use ChatFred if I still have free time?

you still need to set an API key so I see no indication that solution allows you to use ChatGPT without paying

I'm using it now (ChatGPT) without problems, but the workflow (ChatFred) is not working. It simply stops working. I even created another Gmail account, a brand-new account on Openai website and the workflow still doesn't work. Keyboard Maestro is working like a charm.

@zeitlings To clarify, do I need to pay a monthly fee to access ChatGPT with the workflow? Although I can still utilize ChatGPT on Openai.com, why pay for the luxury of using a workflow when this is a better solution: Keyboard Maestro and ChatGPT

After the 30-day period ended, I received a notification stating that I could no longer use the workflow. However, when I visited Openai.com, I was still able to use the ChatGPT without any issues. I created another API, hoping that it would allow me to continue using the workflow, but it did not. Therefore, I would like to inquire if this workflow can only be used once.
