Hey! After 6 Years of Mac abstinence I'm back to OSX and Alfred was a main reason to switch back
 
But what Skype was then, Telegram is today and I saw that there is no Workflow for Telegram 😪 - unbearable.
 
So here it is. It's a first rough prototype but it does exactly what it should.
It's a quite decent prototype, still lacking the really cool features, but quite stable - yay.
 
UPDATE: I've switched to delivering a self-compiled version of telegram-cli from a more up-to-date repo, 'treset' should unlock it - but please let me know if it doesn't run. You might have to run "brew install telegram" nonetheless to install all the linked libraries it requires - I can't really test without a second Mac around. If you don't like binary blobs, feel free to build "telegram-cli" yourself from the kenorb-contrib repo and replace it in the workflow's directory.
 
t - write to a user or group, see history 
th - show history with user and send message
tc - Talk to Groups
tr - Quick reply to last user
ta - Activate Telegram with user selected
treset - Delete cache files (should have no effect), remove com.apple.quarantine flag from telegram-cli and start telegram-cli in terminal window, so you can 
 
it requires that you install telegram-cli, which - if you have brew installed - is a mere "brew install telegram" away.
 
Before you can use it, you have to run 'treset' once, to remove the quarantine-flag from telegram-cli and log into telegram! 
 
Telegram session information is stored in /.telegram-cli and not in the workflow directory.
 
= Releases =
0.0.1: Initial Release with commands: t, th
0.0.2: Added tr, tc
0.0.4: Major update: own telegram-cli from different repo (https://github.com/kenorb-contrib/tg, vysheng's seems abandoned, and brew installs the one from vysheng), merged th, tc and t, added ta to activate telegram with a certain user selected
 
= Get It =
https://github.com/xtin/TeleFred/blob/master/TeleFred.alfredworkflow
 
= Wish List =
- tg - Talk to Groups - currently limited because telegram-cli segfaults on the dialog_list command (known bug: https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/1580 ) - so we don't know what groups there are.
- tl - show 5 last conversations (likely victim to same bug)
- tr - Quick reply to last user
- tc - Call user
- tclip - Send clipboard to user
- tss - Send last screenshot to user
- Show media in the history
- Load user pics and show them in the preview
 
= If you want to help, that's very welcome! You can also talk to me on Telegram: t.me/raf_ael =

Call top for an auto-updating list of processes, ordered by CPU usage. Type to filter by process name.



On each process:
+ ⌘↵ quits.
+ ⌥↵ forcibly kills.
+ ⌃↵ limits CPU usage.
+ fn↵ lowers priority (increases niceness).
+ ⇧↵ freezes.

↵ gives more granularity over the options.

As Andrew mentioned, among other things, Packal.org runs a virus scan on every workflow uploaded (using clamscan, and the virus database is updated daily), so I can assure you that there are no viruses in any workflow that clamscan can catch (early on I did test by uploading workflows with viruses, and Packal rejected them).
 
That being said, there can still be malicious activity, but I haven't seen any workflow that has done anything bad since Alfred 2 has been out. By bad, I mean intentionally bad. The problems that Dean mentioned have happened, but the community is pretty good about finding these and then reporting them and getting them changed.

Workflows can do the same things as any other programs you run, more or less. Under the hood, it's all code being run under your user account.
 
Because a workflow is just another program, it could theoretically do all kinds of things to any of the stuff your user account has access to, deliberately or by accident.
 
But that's the way software has always worked (at least until there was an App Store), and the sky hasn't fallen in yet. This is only not the case for sandboxed, App-Store apps, which do have limited access to your stuff.
 
The thing that worries me isn't malicious workflows, it's well-intentioned, but broken ones. I think it's far more likely for a bug in a workflow to delete the wrong file or similar than for an evil workflow to try to root your box or ransom your data.
 
If you're paranoid (like me), install Little Snitch. That'll let you know very quickly if something shady is happening on your system. Objective-See have some very interesting free security programs, too, to scan/watch for iffy-looking activity.
 
FWIW, I've been running Little Snitch for years, and I've never seen a workflow try to anything even vaguely nefarious. Not even as much as pull in Google Analytics or the like, let alone steal all your data.
 
The worst behaviour I've seen from a workflow (from the view of potential harm to the user) is password generators that generate passwords that aren't very strong without saying that they're not very strong, or storing sensitive data, like API keys or passwords, in plaintext instead of in the Keychain.

Hi Allan,
 
Alfred runs as a user level process, not system, so doesn't have elevated rights to your system. As such, workflows have the same level of access to your system as any other "normal" app you may download. I have also made the Alfred Text Service run as a separate process so that the additional accessibility access granted to Alfred Text Service isn't inherited by workflows.
 
When manually installing an Alfred workflow, a number of simple security checks are done along with stripping out things like hotkeys to avoid a workflow from conflicting with current apps or workflows you have installed. Also, if you are currently using Shawn's Packal.org to find and download workflows, this has additional security scanning/checking.
 
The active Alfred community take a close interest in workflows and if there were to be a workflow which isn't operating as advertised, this would be picked up pretty quickly!
 
One thing worth noting is that I'm planning a similar system to Apple's developer certificates for workflows which will allow a further level of protection for workflow creators and users
 
Cheers,
Andrew

I'm happy to announce that after months of development, I'm ready to make a new workflow and theme repository available to the public as an open beta: Packal. Workflows and themes are taggable and searchable. You can add in the icons, screenshots, long descriptions, and brief ones. There are many different ways to find whatever you need there. Since this is an initial announcement, there isn't much content there yet, except for the workflows and themes that a few kind testers uploaded.
 
Themes are stored as a simple application URL, which means there are no files to download, but, instead, they import directly into Alfred2. Workflows are scanned for viruses after they are submitted but before they are made available publicly. Workflow authors can easily update their workflows just by editing the page and replacing the workflow file there.
 
What is even better is that Packal has its own updater for workflows. So, you have the option to update any workflows that you have downloaded from Packal.
 
I think that these are exciting developments for Alfred, and this sort of repository is what many people have been waiting for since these forums were created.
 
One great advantage for distributing your workflows via Packal is that you do not need to maintain your own download links for your workflows anymore, so you won't need to worry about download limits on sharing services. Another advantage is that it will receive more visibility as it is a place where people can look for workflows and themes without having to page through the impressive number of posts in these forums.
 
So, please, head over to Packal, browse what's there, and, very importantly, submit your own workflows and themes.
 
--Shawn

This looks absolutely outstanding, Shawn! I've been looking forward to this ever since you first mentioned it to me. I'm going to pin this to the top of the Workflows forum
 
Also, a note to anybody who uses Packal... Shawn has done this completely off of his own back and in his own free time, so please don't hound him with feature requests etc. He has hidden a PayPal donate near the bottom of the FAQ, so if you like and enjoy it, a little donation wouldn't go a miss. I know Vero and I will be donating!
 
Cheers,
Andrew

I made a workflow to kill processes quickly.
 
You can grab it (and read more about it) on GitHub.
Direct download link.
 
Here are some highlights:
Autocompletes process names Learns and prioritizes processes you kill frequently Shows icons when possible Shows CPU usage Shows process paths Ignores case Screenshot:

Enjoy, and feel free to share any feedback you have.

For those who appreciate pink accent in macOS and wide width to see more content in descriptions / inline dictionary text, etc.
 
Updated to v1.24 - 10 Mar, 2020 : Reduced width for zoomed / scaled screens.
