Hey @gonnatryanyways, it's been a while since I messed with this, but I just tested on alfred4 and it seems to work, no longer using alfred3 though, but doesn't bring up the list of items you can quit, but for me, 'quit boom' is working to quit boom3d for me, and usually you can just do "quit oversight" or whatever is up there and it'll work. Another way if that doesn't seem to work, you can just start typing 'boom' to get it to show the boom app, then you click ctrl and there are the file lists, you can either find the 'quit' in there, or press q to jump to it and hit enter and it should close that app. Hope that makes sense. It was definitely down and dirty, and I think I got it just good enough, and never found out how to display the list of items, so hopefully it'll just work for you, and if I get some time I'll try to actually make this work how it should and show the list of items.

 

Oh my, maybe if I'd actually read your first post completely through I wouldn't have had to harass you, sorry! It absolutely works as stated. I updated to 4 before I saw your response so I can't specifically vouch for 3 but I'd bet it's fine and that it was just this user's error. 

@jer2665 Thanks for the workflow and your quick response!

Hi there @jer2665, this is an old thread but your workflow is exactly what I'm looking for; a way to exit menu bar apps (and for the same reason you listed, boom, although now I have Boom3d). 

I tried installing it but no apps show when inputing text, or at all if it was supposed to generate a list on selection of 'quit'.

I'm on Alfred 3.

Just in case you're still out there!

🤞
