Hi,

Can you confirm that you have this app installed?

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/json-helper-for-applescript/id453114608?mt=12

My vision is that this forum is going to become a MacOS shortcut sharing Community that work with Alfred. 

Sure it will still require to have some of the Alfred Workflows as well like a bridge between the two apps, but it might be easier as the concept will always be almost the same: Give input get output.

Which could mean that there will be more ideas and workflows made by non-coders.

I'm just wondering what do you guys think about that? Also Shortcuts are now actually somewhat scriptable in the latest beta. 

It would be a honor if you have called me a lazy bum or anything at all, you are basically the spirit of this forum, thanks for the link ,  I will definitely have a look.

So, I have been looking for a youtube to mp3 converter, and then I have found this nice terminal based program on Github. 

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl

Is anyone interested in making an Alfred workflow for it? 

Ahhw, and before you guys call me a filthy pirate, ok yeah, I am. But I also have Apple Music subscription, and stuff that I wanna download from Youtube are not available there. stuff like old foreign songs.

I like to use my Pushcut workflow for all of my home automations. 

You can have a look at my quick video on the reddit post linked above.

I have took some of the code from the existing workflow, and modified it so it can offer me a list of servers as I'm typing. I have took my time adding country flags to the script filter as well.

@Dudeman did you run the AlfredHelper from Alfred? (using !pushcutupdate) Did you supply this workflow your webhook secret key? (!pushcutapi) (note: webhook secret is different than the API key, this workflow is using the webhook key)

It supports a few countries and both male and female names.

Example: fname en f

It wil return an English female name

fname pl m

It should return a Polish male name

It will give you a notification when the name is ready and copies it to clipboard.

It can also give you a random username for signing up to multiple websites, where you don't want to use the same username as everywhere else for privacy reasons.

For that you can just type to Alfred fuser

Requirement:

This workflow needs a free app from App Store called "JSON helper"

@mjwalfreds

May I ask how's the experiment going? Does it work as expected? Were my instructions clear?
I personally love this workflow, wanted to make it for personal use first, but then I thought I should share..

For those who are interested I have created a workflow for running iOS shortcuts from Alfred using a spare iOS (12.0 or above) device (I use a second hand iPhone SE).

Here is a short video I have published to Reddit:

This workflow requires a Siri Shortcut to get a list of your shortcuts:

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f8dcbc7ac14f4d03b1fc3bcebf28b2f5

Once the workflow has been imported you will need to put your Pushcut Webhook Secret key into the "api" variable by typing !pushcutapi in Alfred and then type into Alfred !pushcutupdate and Helper shortcut will start to do it's job. Once the shortcut has run you should be able to access your shortcuts within Alfred like on my video above.

It currently support 3 different modes.

• Using the keyword "pushcut" or keyboard shortcut: control+option+P will just run the shortcut and won't return any data. It's good for shortcuts like "Turn on the fan"
• Using the keyword "pci" or keyboard shortcut: control+option+I will ask you to select a shortcut and give it some input (input is optional), return the shortcut output in Large Type
• Using the keyword "pcd" or keyboard shortcut: control+option+D will ask you to select a shortcut and delay it. 5s , 5m , 5d ...

Link to the workflow:

This is an unofficial workflow, I am NOT affiliated with Pushcut.

This workflow requires:

• A spare iOS device (min iOS 12 and above, recommended iOS 13 and above),
• A subscription to Pushcut Automation Server, more info on the developer's website: pushcut.io

Feel free to use and maybe improve this workflow. 

Update:

ver 1.0.3:

• Making it clear that this workflow is using your Pushcut Webhook Secret instead of an API key (it can be found at Pushcut -> Account -> Webhook)
• Removed unnecessary update commands, now the only way to update the list of shortcuts is to type !pushcutupdate directly to Alfred.
• Added ability to copy shortcut output into clipboard, when using keyword "pcic" or the keyboard shortcut : Shift+Option+I
• Added ability to remove your list of shortcuts from the workflow with the keyword !rmshortcuts , in case if you wanted to export it for sharing.
• Fixed the !pushcutapi did not require argument.

Works fine, thanks.

Use the keyword "in"

So if you are looking for a letter starting with "Dear Marcus" in Dear Marcus should find it.

Looked at the Alfred remote app in app store and it talks about Alfred 2, but I have the version of 4.1 under and the "What's new?" section it shows me the latest update was 5 years ago.

Alfred on Mac is great, but that remote app is just.. so old looking. More can be achieved with Siri Shortcuts via SSH.

Is there a way to install xmlhttprequest to run on my Mac just like it would work in browsers? Or is there another method of url requests that already works in javascript?

I have downloaded the caffeinate workflow from here (or github cant remember). entered the command "caff 1hr" it tells me it will be active for an hour. Then I have walked away from my laptop came back and my screen was black and i was disconnected from the IRC channel I was on. 

What has happened? Am I not using the newest version of the workflow? Does it require permission that I might have forgot to give?

I use Caffeinate 3.03.0 workflow.

Thanks.

@Vero , so much better, thanks.

I know that I can have my own custom search for DuckDuckGo, but sometimes I forget to type "d" before my query. Is it possible to change the main search engine?

This forum runs on IPS, I love this software, it is even my choice of CMS for my webshop, it could potentially be a perfect Alfred Store where users can upload and optionally set the price and stuff.. People could still contribute for free if they want, but some people would be more motivated to create workflows for a price, and we could end up with more downloadable content. I don't think it's a stupid idea at all.

I had a feeling it would not work this way. I will come up with some SSH workaround. 

On my Mac I mainly use Safari, I was wondering if it is possible for Apple Script to access the Firefox built in menu. Should I even try to do it? 

The workflow would look like : Get safaris page -> Open the link in Firefox in Desktop 2 (so it would not pop up on my main screen) -> Send the current link to my Windows PC -> Close Firefox on Desktop 2 -> Get a notification that it has run.
