Just to chime in, more than "50" in the scroll down list would be helpful to me also. Like atomix, sometimes I don't remember exactly what I'm looking for until I see it. If there was an option to adjust that to more (even if there is a memory hit), it would be used by at least two people

I converted David Ferguson's Wolfram|Alpha extension to a workflow (and made some tweaks along the way  )
 
It requires you have an AppID of your own (get one here). Note: Make sure you wait a few minutes before entering the code; Wolfram|Alpha's servers seem to take a moment to register the AppID.
 
It provides feedback with the answer and input interpretation. If you action an item, it will output all the available information to Growl. Pressing ⌥↩ will copy the answer to the clipboard; ⌘↩ will open your query in Wolfram|Alpha (in the default browser).
 
Here's a picture of the workflow editor:

 
Here's what it looks like in action:

Update (March 5, 2013): Fixed bug that prevented the workflow from saving AppID on certain setups
 
Update (Feb 25, 2013): Fixed garbled text issues, added 'Selection is OS X' argument to hotkey

Just to chime in, more than "50" in the scroll down list would be helpful to me also. Like atomix, sometimes I don't remember exactly what I'm looking for until I see it. If there was an option to adjust that to more (even if there is a memory hit), it would be used by at least two people

I had created a Volume Adjust Extension for Alfred v1, now I've updated it as a Workflow for Alfred v2.
 
More info including a download link and the source is available on my website: http://victorquinn.com/development/#volumeadjust
 
But below are the commands it will accept for changing the system volume. Includes a notification of the exact numeric (0-100) volume level. There's a prettier and more readable table version on my website.
 
vol {number, 1-100}  [invoked as “vol 30” or “vol 74”. Any number from 0-100 will work and the volume will be set to that percentage. So “vol 30” will set the output volume to 30%. Any number less than 0 will just set the volume to 0% and any number greater than 100 will just set it to 100%] vol mute || vol off  [Mutes the volume. Unfortunately, since Alfred just runs the Applescript and then terminates, it is not possible at this time to mute then unmute back to the same volume you were before the mute.] vol quiet || vol soft || vol low  [sets volume to 15%] vol medium || vol mid || vol half  [sets volume to 50%] vol loud || vol high  [sets volume to 85%] vol up || vol more || vol +  [invoked as either “vol up” or “vol up {number, 1-100}”. Used as just “vol up” it will increase the volume by 10%. But invoked as “vol up 30” it will increase the volume from its current level by 30%. So if your volume were at 10%, invoking “vol up 30” will end with the volume at 40%.] vol down || vol less || vol - [invoked as either “vol down” or “vol down {number, 1-100}”. Used as just “vol down” it will decrease the volume by 10%. But invoked as “vol down 30” it will decrease the volume from its current level by 30%. So if your volume were at 73%, invoking “vol down 30” will end with the volume at 43%.]

The previously released menu search workflow has been universally panned due to the poor performance of the AppleScript that dumps menu contents. The caching of results worked very poorly as a stop-gap. So, I've re-written the menu extraction in Objective-C. It's much faster. The source is here: https://github.com/ctwise/alfred-workflows
 
You can download the workflow directly from http://tedwi.se/u/db
 
To recap, this workflow lets you trigger an application's menu's from Alfred. For example, if you're in iTerm and trigger Alfred, you can type 'm view' to get a list of all menu items with 'view' in the name or that belong to the 'view' menu. Selecting one of the entries triggers the corresponding menu entry in iTerm. In one sense it gives you a command-line to control your applications.
 
The workflow has the beginnings of shortcut key display as well but it's currently disabled due to numerous bugs.
 
Update: 
 
v1.3 - Provide error message when assistive devices isn't checked.
v1.2 - Skip the Safari History and Bookmarks menus. They take too long.
v1.1 - I fixed the bug with Alfred not remembering selections and added AlleyOop support. Download from the same link.
 
Requires OS/X 10.7+.
 
---
 
You need to turn on OS/X assistive device support to allow this workflow to operate. You can find the checkbox in Settings. The settings page looks very different in recent versions of OS/X but the wording for providing access for assistive devices is very similar no matter what OS/X version you're using. Here's an image of the settings from the latest version of Mountain Lion.
 

There is a great layout workflow based on Layouts (http://projects.jga.me/layouts/#toc0). Free!
 
However, I’m use to some of the SizeUp (shareware, $13) application Preferences regarding moving and resizing windows, snap them back and move a window to the next space.
 
So I decided to make an Alfred workflow just in case you can’t remember a hotkey or even if you prefer to use Alfred.

I think it's a TV Rage issue as I can't get it to speed up whether used on a normal PHP website or in the app. I'm looking at adding the next episode time. I hadn't heard of Alleyoop but can implement it if you're interested. Just will take me a day or so to get everything ready

Shorten URL (v1.1) - download here
 
Github Page:
https://github.com/hzlzh/Alfred-Workflows
 
This workflow support URL shortener like below. You can use Hotkey to trigger without open Alfred input window.
goo.gl/ bit.ly/ t.cn/ j.mp/ is.gd/ v.gd/ If you want more URL shortener services added, please let me know, .
 
How-To:
Choose some long links (e.g Command + A), then press `Command + Shift +L`, choose goo.gl and you will get the short link in your clipboard with notification center triggered.
 
Tips:
How to use this workflow without copy/paste?
Just use trigger HotKey, check out this wiki issue here:

Hi Everyone,
 
I've been working on putting together a TV show information workflow that will get you information about the TV show that you are searching for. I have it currently setup for two different options of handling it. This workflow shows you the Show Name, Show Status (Returning, On the Bubble/TBD, or Cancelled), and (depending on the status) air time, air day, and network or number of seasons it ran for on what network. See github for the most recent version, code, and configuration options.
 
To switch between 12-hour time and 24-hour time, use the keyword:
enable12hr
or
enable24hr
 
These will switch whether the script displays 12 or 24 hour time.
 
Current Version: 1.0
 

 
 
Option 1:
Use the 'tv' keyword in the Alfred prompt to begin the workflow, then type the name of the TV show that you would like to search for and it will return the information about that show to you in the window. Pressing "Return" on the keyboard will open TVRage to the show's page. Option 2:
Use a hotkey of your choice to pass your current text selection to the workflow and begin the search as above.  
Known issues that I am working on or that I am looking to add:
TV Episode search (so you can find information about specific episodes) — BETA 12 hour time version (currently, time is displayed in 24-hour time) Fix "seasons" on cancelled shows to correctly match singular or plural numbers Add easier timezone support. Add Alleyoop Suport

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, etc. I hope you like it!

Audio Switch
==================================================================================
 
Switch between your input sources and output devices.
 
To install just download (or my github) and doble click the .alfredworkflow file.*
 
To change your input source type input (it could take a little bit to load your sources), then select the one you desire
 

 
The same for the output device, just type output then select your choice
 

 
Since I don't have any audio device or source connected to my laptop only 1 (the default) device and source are shown.

Well there was a feature Request for adding "Rename File" to the internal commands on files here: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/1675-add-a-rename-action-to-the-file-action-list/
David Ferguson quickly replied with an custom workflow (with some smart Alfred magic making Alfred calling search on itself!)
But his version was a bit raw and limited to files only. So I enhanced it as follows:
1. It uses "mv" instead of cp / remove. This way it will work on folders (and bundles).
2. I made it so that the original name is the default when you rename a file.
3. I added Alleyoop update to it as I may enhance / debug in the future.
You can get my "Rename File" workflow version from here: https://github.com/oderwat/alfredworkflows/raw/master/Rename%20File.alfredworkflow
V1.1: Visible rename confimation. Fixed renaming of files with spaces in name. CMD Return on rename now copies the resulting file path to the clipboard. Upgraded Alleyoop code too.
All my current workflows are available here: https://github.com/oderwat/alfredworkflows

This creates a new reminder in Reminders.app
Download the latest version, for Alfred v3+ and macOS 10.12+
For older versions, go here.
Usage
To use, just type r <some text> into Alfred.
For example, r check out some of Alfred's other workflows will create a new reminder called "check out some of Alfred's other workflows".
You can also include times and dates in the text and have Alfred set a reminder for that particular time.
r this will capture the current application and turn it into a reminder.
r help will show some built-in examples.

Dates
To be reminded at a specific date/time, simply type a date into the command, for example:
r today release the hamsters into the wild r tomorrow bring about financial ruin upon my enemies r in 5 minutes drop everything r in 2 hours laugh out loud r on 24/12/13 forget everything I know about things in movies r on 12 June 15 come up with some interesting ideas r on 31-12-99 23:22 panic about the millennium bug r at 2pm wait for nothing in particular r next thursday at 15.30 ask some difficult questions
Priority
To set the priority of the reminder, either use exclamation marks right at the start or end of the command (! for low priority, !! for medium priority, !!! for high priority), or type the priority right at the end of the command (these can also be abbreviated, for example mp or p lo). For example:
r !!! in 2 weeks an important meeting r thursday have a banana medium priority r decide what to have for lunch !lo r make a turkey sandwich p3 Lists
To choose a list to use on a per-reminder basis, type in <list name> list right at the end of the command, for example r Get Santa outfit !2 in Christmas list. If a matching list can't be found, you won't be able to action the command.
In all other cases, the default Reminders list will be used (typically the first one). If you prefer, you can edit the defaultList variable within the workflow's Arg and Vars node (note that you'll have to edit this each time you upgrade the workflow however).
Apps
Get reminded about the app you're using, for example the selected file in Finder, or the current tab in Chrome or Safari.
To create a reminder about the active app, simply type r this. Or keep typing to set a date, priority or a custom title, for example r this drop some sick beats on Friday !!!.
The following apps are currently supported:
Adobe Acrobat (Pro/DX) Chromium Contacts Finder FoldingText Google Chrome Google Chrome Canary Mail Mailplane 3 Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Word Safari TextEdit TextMate Vienna WebKit Apps can be added on request. Just raise an issue with the app you use. As long as it's freely available and has AppleScript support, it can be added.
Getting help
r help will display the above examples
All sorts of combinations are possible!
Configuration
If you want to change the default reminder list, edit the variables component at the top of the workflow, otherwise it will just use the first one (unless you use "in Y list" at the end).
External Trigger
To call the workflow as an external trigger, use applescript such as
tell application "Alfred 3" to run trigger "remind" in workflow "com.surrealroad.alfred-reminder" with argument "something tomorrow at 5pm"

Feedback
By far the best way to give me feedback is to submit an issue on GitHub. Alternatively, just reply to this post.

alfred-mountain-lion-builtin-sharing
==========================
Use built-in sharing introduced in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion directly from Alfred!
Description
This workflow is using the amazing command line terminal-share
You can call directly share command (or use a hotkey) if you just want to share a message.
If you want to share a file (image, video or any other kind), you can select it using a File Action, or set a hotkey.
It currently supports all services except sinaweibo,youku and tudou (I can add them in a future release).
Based on the type of the selected file, services proposed will change.
Here are some examples:

I’ve gone and created a workflow to dial numbers found on your Mac with your iPhone via PushDialer, as I found Florian Pellet’s PushDialer workflow a bit simplistic for my taste. This one has the full trimmings (dial from text selection via hotkey, from the Alfred prompt, or from the Alfred contact viewer), more robust filtering and error handling, Alleyoop support for updates as well as a nice little extra in the form of script filters allowing you to find numbers to call right out of Alfred:


There is a somewhat more detailed post announcing it on my blog, and the workflow itself is on GitHub (direct download link is here). Hope somebody finds it useful.

Updates:
1.0.1 fixes escaping of shell metacharacters (aka “who wants to dial your $PATH”). 1.0.2 queries with non-ASCII characters now work (aka “der Süden tanzt”). 1.1.0 Searchlight edition: significant improvements to the search functionality of the call family of script filters (see this post for the details). 1.1.1 fixes sorting of script filter results (aka “Alphabet, sagtest Du Alphabet?”). 1.1.2 fixes case sensitiveness in incremental searches (aka “a flock of cases”). Check for updates with Alleyoop, or re-download from GitHub.

Alfred 2 Top Process Workflow
  The initial motive of this workflow is to avoid frequent visits to the Activity Monitor when the fan goes loud. Now it has been evolved with two major features:   Suggestions are welcome. And Please go to http://zhaocai.github.com/alfred2-top-workflow/ for better view of the installation instruction.   - 1) List/Kill Top Processes by Memory/CPU/IO Usage       - 2) (working in progress) Get a glance of system status including internal battery, fan speed, CPU/GPU Temperature, bluetooth battery, disk capacity, etc.     Usage   0. Show Help   Just type -?, -h, or --help after the keyword to show help.     1. Top Processes   A. Keywords:   1.) top: Show a mixed processes list based on top cpu/memory usage.          1. top -m, top --memory to show processes ranked by memory usage        2. top -c, top --cpu, to show processes ranked by cpu usage        3. top -i, top --io, to show processes ranked by io usage with callback from top io trace collector.      Top IO requires [DTrace][Dtrace] and it would take a while to finish. The new callback design is to run the job in he background and post a notification (OSX 10.8+) using notification center. Click on the notification to show the result in alfred.           Modifier Key      - none    : The default action is to list files opened by process ID    - control : Kill the selected process    - command : kill forcefully (kill -9)    - alt     : Nice (lower) the selected process's cpu priority    - shift   : Search web for process information     2.) kill: Filter process to kill.   Modifier Key      - none: The default action is to kill by process ID    - command : kill forcefully (kill -9)   3.) lsof: List files opened by process id   Modifier Key      - none: The default action is to reveal file in Finder   B. Filter by Query   1.) To search for process state, use :idle, :sleep, :stopped, :zombie, :uninterruptible, :runnable, etc.       2. Glance an Eye on your system   #### A. Keywords:   glance: Show system information including internal battery, bluetooth battery, disk capacity, etc.       B. Change Display Order   Activate Alfred Preferences → Advanced → Top Result Keyword Latching       Hit Enter for the feedback item you wish to show up on the top.     Installation Two ways are provided:
You can download the Top Processes.alfredworkflow and import to Alfred 2. This method is suitable forregular users.
You can git clone or fork this repository and use rake install and rake uninstall to install. Check rake -T for available tasks. This method create a symlink to the alfred workflow directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows". This method is suitable fordevelopers.
    Troubleshooting   1. Does not work in Mac OSX 10.9 (Maverick)   In OSX 10.9, the system ruby is upgraded to 2.0.0. You need to download the new version of this workflow which packs the ruby gems for 2.0.0 inside.   If the downloaded version does not work, try    1.) open Terminal.app. If you use rvm or rbenv, switch to the system ruby. run cd "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Alfred 2/Alfred.alfredpreferences/workflows/me.zhaowu.top" && rake bundle:update   2. iotop causes mouse lagging   This issue is not caused by this workflow but by [DTrace][DTrace]. The related system log message is IOHIDSystem cursor update overdue. Resending.. In my Macbook Pro, any [DTrace][DTrace] based program will introduce this issue including the mac built-in /usr/bin/iotop, and /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app .   I upgrade to OS X 10.9 and this issue is resolved.   3. Encoding::CompatibilityError: incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8   Add the following contents to /etc/launchd.conf. Restart is required.   setenv LANG en_US.UTF-8 setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8

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.

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.

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.

Here's a workflow that's useful for developers; it allows you to convert between timestamps and formatted datetime strings with ease.
 
Simply type "df" followed by: "now", a UTC unix timestamp, or a formatted datetime string.
 
This will present you with the parsed date in various formats ready to copy to your clipboard.
