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/shawnrice/alfred2-workflow-help
Download here: https://github.com/shawnrice/alfred2-workflow-help/raw/master/Command%20Help.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.

Spotifious
a natural Spotify controller for Alfred
 

So, you’ve heard of Spotifious, eh? A natural Spotify controller for Alfred? Searchs Spotify, controls your music, generally rocks?
 
It’s built off a lot of other people’s work— PHPFunk and David Ferguson especially— and tries to match the functionality of Alfred’s integrated iTunes player. It’s not perfect, but it does the job. And I think it’s pretty cool.
 
Features
 
A quick rundown of its coolness:
 
A controller, not a workflow
Spotifious just feels fun to use, like a real plugin for Alfred, not a workflow. It can do in-depth, playlist-scouring searches and gives you useful information even if something goes wrong.

Not unlike the iTunes Mini Player.

 
Alfred-like
Spotifious is also especially Alfred-like. Just start typing to scour Spotify’s servers for music. Browse through artists and albums and playlists like nobody’s business and drill down through Queen’s huge anthologies with a snappy context-based search.
 
Smart
Spotifious uses Packal to make sure you always have the latest version. It gives you a heads-up about what’s going on with Spotify the moment you start it. And don’t worry about errors— we’ll handle those.
 
 
Download & Install
Latest version: v0.13.9 | Latest dev build: v0.13.9
 
Detailed instructions available on the plugin site.
Download this repository. (Source) Open dist/spotifious.alfredworkflow by double-clicking it or dragging it into Alfred. Bind the hotkey to ^⌘⏎. Activate the plugin with your new hotkey, and follow the short (three step) setup process. Continue on with your merry day. How to Use
So let's assume you've downloaded and installed the workflow. Now what?
Press ^⌘⏎ Good! You should briefly see a loading entry, then the main menu:




You can action the song title (press ⏎) to play or pause the song, action the album or artist to search for that album or artist, or just start typing to search for cool music.



Once you’ve searched for something, you can continue to browse albums and arists through Spotifious. Actioning an artist will bring up a list of their albums, and actioning an album will bring up the track list.
 
Note: You can always leave a menu and go back just by pressing ⌫.

 
Development & Acknowledgements

A lot of people helped out on this:
vdesabou and I trade ideas a ton PHPfunk and his PHP Alfred workflow inspired much of OhAlfred David Ferguson helped with some iffy Alfred glitches a slightly modified version of Entypo icon font face for icons. and many other people mentioned in the code. Thanks to everyone who helped, and thanks to everyone who uses my work! Oh, and thanks for reading this whole README. I hope you enjoy Spotifious!

This is a personal project. I host it on Github. It is MIT licensed, except for the icons, which are owned by Spotify and Entypo. Be cool.

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:
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.) 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. The user finds the workflow in his or her ~/Downloads directory and opens it. 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.

I managed to update the "old" myPhoneDesktop - Send to iPhone extension to an Alfred v2 workflow: randomerrata.com/post/45363184146/send-to-iphone
 
Note: I am not affiliated with the original author of the extension nor with myPhoneDesktop. I just needed this for myself.
 
Hopefully someone else will also find this useful.
 
The original extension had Alfred Extension Updater support, this, for obvious reasons, does not.

Description
Alfred 3 workflow to search and create notes in Evernote.

Search

Keywords
ens to search in every note field ens @ to search in a selected notebook ens # to search notes with a selected tags You can use ent (search in titles only) or enr (search in reminders) or entodo (search to-do notes) or enrec (search notes updated within a week) or enu (search notes with a source URL) instead of ens.

You can select multiple tags to fine tune your searching. Just add a second hash sign and select or type the tag e.g. ens #tag1 #tag2 :my query

In addition, you can select a single notebook then tags too e.g. ent @notebook #tag1 #tag2 :my query

Note that, if you want to select a notebook and/or tags, the query goes after the colon sign as seen above.

Actions
Return key to open the note Shift key to preview the note Option key to set a reminder Control key to paste the note text content to the top most application Function key to open the note URL Command key to append text (from clipboard, selected text or typed) or selected file(s) in Finder. After pressing the Command key a new Alfred window will be shown so you will be able to select the text source and the action: Return key will append without date Option key with append with current date Hint: You can also use the Command key to only add tags to a note. To do so, type or select a tag and don't type anything after the colon then select the source "Type a Note" e.g. enn #tag :

Note that Alfred Fallback Search is also supported (you have to add it in Alfred 2 Preferences>Features>Default Results, then click Setup fallback results button).

Create

Keyword enn

http://cl.ly/image/3t1e440l1c0Q/enn8.png

You can optionally type the note title or, for a more complex creation, follow the syntax below:

@Notebook #tag1 #tag2 !reminder :Title
@notebook: after typing @ a list of notebooks will be displayed then select one or type it; the default will be used if omitted #tags: after typing # a list of tags will be displayed then select one or type a new one (multiple tags are supported, type each one after a hash sign) !reminder: after typing an exclamation point a list of reminder suggestions will be displayed then select one or type a custom reminder such as in 4 days or 05/01/2014 or 05/01/2014 at 2:00 Title: at the end, after a colon (or the second colon if you are adding time in your reminder) Note that items of the syntax are optional, however the syntax has to end with a colon, with or without typing the note title e.g. #tag1 :

Note Content Source
From clipboard From selected text Typed directly in Alfred From Safari or Google Chrome URL From message(s) selected in Mail app From file(s) selected in Finder app: you can create one note with files or one note for each selected files. Alfred File Browser also supported. Type a Note also supports multiple lines and, in this case, the first line will be the title of the note e.g. enn Line 1 /n Line 2 /n Line 3

Actions
Return key: create a note Control Key: create a note and open it Command key: append text or file to a note Option key: append text to a note with current date How to Append
Highlight one of the note content source e.g. From Clipboard Optionally type tags and a reminder e.g. #tag1 #tag2 !tomorrow hold command key and hit return key select a note from the list (search by title only) and hit return key Mail
Message subject as the note title Message received date as the note creation date Message Link as the note source URL A short header (e.g. sender) A plain text version of the email content  
Note Templates
 
Read about templates here.
 
Preferences

Bring Alfred and type the keyword enpref:
Search wildcard: you can set the workflow to automatically use the Evernote search wildcard (*) or you can set the workflow to use only if it is typed (the Manual setting may by faster in a huge note collection).

Seems like either the author needs to explicitly place the version number of their workflow in the title/description or read me.  I can see a change-log in the readme would make sense.  Or better yet have something built into Alfred that allows you to set a version when you are creating your workflow and this would be displayed to the user in it's own area.

Hello, 
 
Here's a simple workflow to create a new blank email using hotkey. I personnaly set it to CMD+Shift+M
 
and here's a link to it: http://db.tt/FS7510mg
    Let me know if this is of any help to you.  Cheers.   

The workflow currently relies on WolframAlpha for getting it's data. From my testing, it only shows time in 12-hour format unfortunately (I'd also like it to be location-based, or somehow be able to get the time in a 24 hour format).
I'll have to look into other services and see if they're able to retrieve the time in other formats, or build something to convert 12 hours format to a 24-hour one.
 
In any case, I'll look into it when I have the time.

Great workflow – thanks! 
 
Is it possible to change the 12-hour-system (am/pm) to the 24-hour-system? 

Hey folks,
 
I've been chugging away building a new version of my EggTimer extension to take advantage of Alfred 2's new features. And now it's ready for whoever would like to to have a playaround with it and see what they think:
 
EggTimer v2.0
 
 
It will also be available at Tom's Alfred Repo, but I personally haven't had a chance to test that yet, so let me know how it goes for you.
 
Now, it's very much a beta, as there's several things that don't work as well as I'd like yet, but I'm pretty pleased with how the integration with Alfred 2's new live results feedback via the Script Filter is working. My aim is to have a really nicely polished, easy-to-use (no users fiddling with config files) workflow ready to release by the time Alfred 2 goes public, so any comments or suggestions are most welcome.  It's ready! (22 March 2013)
 
I've included a full summary of all the functionality in the documentation included in the download (enter timer help in Alfred), but here's just a quick overview of the features:
Simple timers Auto-repeating timers Alarms (set a specific time) Snooze function Repeat function Recent Timers list (choose one to restart) Full integration into Alfred's results window. Couple of quick caveats:
EggTimer currently requires growlnotify to display notifications when timers finish. This is because the timer process completely decouples from Alfred to run in the background, so it can’t feed back its output to Alfred. I’m working on a solution to use a Notification Centre alert option to make this as seamless as possible to the user.
Currently, running timers won’t restart after a crash or a reboot. I’m working on a solution to this which I aim to have working soon.
Okay, that's about it. Enjoy, and let me know how it works for you.
 
----
 
21 January 2013: Updated to beta 2
 
Changes:
Timers/Alarms now use a “while…” loop to check due time against time of day (instead of just sleeping for a duration). This prevents the problem of timers running late if the computer was put to sleep. (Don't know why I didn't just do this to begin with.) ----
 
24 January 2013: Updated to beta 3
 
Changes:
Now uses recommended working folders for storing timer info and preferences. The main benefit from the user point of view is that future updates won’t overwrite your timers and preferences. Timers and Auto-timers now accept hour:minute input. Syntax is timer HRS:MINS Reminder. Can now stop timers from the timer list using the option-key modifier. Kind of an ugly implementation though, as it will display the same information regardless of whether it’s context-appropriate. Trying to think of a better way to make this work. (Suggestions welcome!) Timers will be restored if they have crashed. This is only partially implemented though, because it’ll only check if you actually run the workflow. It won’t restore them at login yet, which is more important. Working on it. Miscellaneous minor tweaks. ----
 
27 January 2013: Updated to beta 4
 
Changes:
The big one: will now resume timers after restart/re-login. EggTimer adds an entry to the OS X launchd daemon to check for and resume timers at startup. You will be prompted to give permission for this on first launch of EggTimer. New keyword/workflow structure. Check out the workflow config panel to see what’s what. If you’d prefer the old ones (all starting with timer), just change them yourself (eg. repeat -> timer repeat). You’ll note that from the timer list (timers or hotkey Ctrl-T) you can also select to launch a new timer or alarm (courtesy of Alfred’s new Applescript-ability). Now has a “nuke” option (timer nuke) to reset EggTimer back to initial blank config. (Deletes all working folders, cancels running timers, uninstalls startup item.) Fixed bug with “08” and “09” minutes entries when using hrs:mins timer format. More specific icons and other miscellaneous UI tweaks. beta4a
Fixed minor (and embarrassing) regression. ----
 
28 January 2013: Updated to beta4b
 
Changes:
Fixed absolute path reference preventing permission dialog from launching.  
28 January 2013: Updated to beta4c
 
Changes:
Doh! One more pesky absolute path eliminated. There's still a bit of weirdness with resuming timers after a login though, so I'm still trying to figure that out. Maybe answer "no" to installing startup item for now.. beta4d
Okay, the problem was fairly minor (just me being scatterbrained ), so the startup check should work nicely now. Here's hoping! ---
 
22 March 2013: Updated to v2.0 (final)
I've finally integrated proper notifications for the completed timers. It will work with either Growl or Notification Centre, depending on what you have selected in the workflow config. growlnotify is no longer required, and you'll find "EggTimer" as a properly registered application within Growl's preferences (where you can tweak it). Miscellaneous tweaks and tidy-ups (including documentation - timer help to display)

This workflow fetches plaintext words or paragraphs of lorem ipsum from loripsum.net.  The result is copied into the clipboard and pasted into the foremost application.

I vote for that one too!

Hello,
 
I have used this workflow developed by Robert Hovath but I often want to look up and actor, so I decided to make my own workflow for searching for actors, movies and TV series on IMDb and I'ld like to share it with you 
 

 
The workflow uses one single command.
m [query] Looks up a movie, TV series or actor matching the query. If a movie or TV series is selected, detailed information will be loaded from OMDb and shown. The detailed information includes the option for watching plot summary and a poster in quick look, view a list of actors in Alfred and view a trailer on YouTube.
If an actor is selected, the corresponding IMDb website will be opened.
 
I like to keep the commands I often use very short and therefore I chose just 'm'. If you don't like it, I'm sure you know how to change it.
 
You can download the latest version here or grab the source code at GitHub. I'm sorry that the workflow is not yet available on AlfPT but I'm unable to upload my workflows

Another update, you can now change the search language by using the "interactive preferences".
 
By default, the US store is searched. Change this by entering 'apps-pref lang <new language>' into Alfred.

I´ve just made my first workflow. It´s just a simple workflow which turns on or off Airplay mirroring based on a keyword input.
I am sure that the workflow can be tweaked and improved a lot. And if anyone is up for it, then please go ahead and make it great 
http://cl.ly/NeL1

I wonder if anybody could and would make a workflow for inline search with openthesaurus.de. The Site has an API, but I really don't know, if it is possible to use it for an Alfred workflow. It would be great if somebody could help!

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. However, I would prefer to quickly search for and play songs without entering the mini player first. Therefore, I created Play Song—a workflow designed to make playing songs in iTunes extremely quick and convenient.
 
Download
 
Download Play Song (latest)
 
Usage
 
Play Song enables five keywords which allow you to search for and play songs in your iTunes library.
In order for Play Song to function properly, it requires access to assistive devices. You can enable this for Alfred via the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
 
Playing a song   To play an individual song, use the playsong keyword. Songs whose names match your query will populate the list of results. Choosing a song from the list will play that song once.   Playing an album   To play all songs from a particular album, use the playalbum keyword. Albums whose names match your query will populate the list of results. Choosing an album from the list will play all songs from that album (ordered by track number).   Playing an artist   To play all songs by a particular artist, use the playartist keyword. Artists whose names match your query will populate the list of results. Choosing a artist from the list will play all songs by that artist (grouped by album).   Playing a genre   To play all songs within a particular genre, use the playgenre keyword. Genres whose names match your query will populate the list of results. Choosing a genre from the list will play all songs within that genre (grouped by artist).   Playing a playlist   To play all songs within a particular playlist, use the playplaylist keyword. Non-empty playlists whose names match your query will populate the list of results. Choosing a playlist from the list will play all songs within that playlist (according to playlist order).  
Support
 
If you have a bug to report or a feature to request, please submit an issue on GitHub.
 
Release Notes
 
Release notes for the workflow are also available on GitHub.

Dear all, 
 
I have written a worklflow that shows a list of all available VPN services and allows to connect or disconnect via Alfred:
 
VPN_Toggle.alfredworkflow (Latest Version: 1.2 as of 2013-11-03)
 
Enjoy, Sebastian

I still have about 100 notes. Most of them vey short.
 
Can you please make an intitle search in my workflow? Open Alfred window and type en intitle:your query
 
Replace your query for something else of course.
 
I’m saying that because my workflow is also searching notes content.
 
@ All
 
I have played around with Evernote and spotlight. Though I see it can be useful for some users the Evernote preview is very limited. It is just a screenshot of part of the note. For me it is barely usable. If I search for content the tiny screenshot can’t show anything that helps identify the note.
 
But as soon as Evernote provides a command to handle preview I’ll surely add the feature.
 
In the meantime, the workflow now always displays a first item that will show the results in Evernote just in case the note title isn’t enough:
 

 
Download the new version here.

Thought I should share this workflow to search Mail.app
 
Use the following keywords to search:
emfrom to search the sender's name and email address em for a general subject + content search emsubj to search specifically for a subject line  
You can download it here. Enjoy!
 
This version is suitable for both Alfred 3 and Alfred 4. 
 
Compatible with macOS versions up to Mojave.  Unfortunately, due to some changes made by Apple in macOS Catalina, it's no longer possible for third-party apps to access your Mail data. This may change in the future, but currently, using this workflow in Catalina or Big Sur will not return any results.
