In case you haven't seen our tweet from a few days ago...
 
Prepare your keyboards and stretch those finger muscles, Alfred 4 is coming in June!  
 
We've posted a very high-level list of just some of the features and improvements you can look forward to here:
https://www.alfredapp.com/v4/
 
You'll answer find answers to questions about upgrades, and an email signup if you'd like to hear about Alfred 4 as soon as it's available!
 
 
 

Download the zip file from the repo (Clone or download > Download ZIP) and extract it. Go into the new directory, select all the files, right-click and choose "Compress 11 Items". That will create Archive.zip. change the name to Archive.alfredworkflow and double-click it.
 

@Luciano Santana (and anyone else following along), there are a few commands (Create New Timer, Create New Alarm, and View Recent) that are still broken in Alfred 3. I have a branch that fixes them. (I also submitted a PR to Luciano's repo.)

Here is my own custom version : https://github.com/lucianosantana/EggTimer2  (based on the updated version for Alfred 3 by @ianhowson)

For the issues with the notification I had to change the notify_functions.sh .
I've completely erased the original and added the following : 
notify () { if [ "$5" = alarm ]; then nc_icon="$PWD/resources/icon_alarm.icns" else nc_icon="$PWD/resources/icon.icns" fi osascript <<EOD set img to POSIX file "$nc_icon" display dialog "$3\n$4" with title "$1" with icon img buttons {"OK"} EOD } I'm using AppleScript to display a Dialog (not a notification). This way the message sticks on the screen until I interact with it and I don't loose the reminder if I'm temporarily away.
I also had to invert the order of execution of the sound and alert. Originally it executes the notification then the sound. But changing the notification to dialog blocks the script execution, therefore the sounds executes after user interaction. To solve this issue just search for 
afplay sounds/alarm_done.mp3 & in the files timer_alarm.sh , timer_auto.sh and timer.sh . Then move it just before the notify command.

Might be helpful for you @Basket and @Dzier .
 
 

Search for emoji and copy them to the clipboard ?.

Download v1.8.1 (2019-09-27)
 
Usage:
emoji [query] Press [return] (↵): Copy the symbol of the selected emoji (e.g. ?) to your clipboard. Press [alt]+[return] (⌥↵): Copy the code of the selected emoji (e.g. `:rofl:`) to your clipboard. Press [cmd]+[return] (⌘↵): Paste the code of the selected emoji (e.g. ?) to your frontmost application.  
Automatic Updates:
 
This workflow will automatically check for updates at most once per day. If a new release is found, it automatically downloads and installs the latest version of the workflow. All downloads come directly from official GitHub releases.
 
Optional Hotkey and Snippet Triggers:
 
Customize the workflow with either a custom hotkey or a custom snippet.

Hi everyone, 
 
I created an simple workflow for Pushover. It allows you to push text and URLs to your various devices.  
 

 
The workflow has to keywords: "push <your text, URL>" and "pushc" for pushing your clipboard.
I use it primarily for pushing URLs to mobile devices for mobile website development. But also pushing plaintext comes in handy at some times.
 
To get it running you have to create an application on Pushover and fill in your USER and API tokens in the workflow settings. 
 
It works only with Alfred v3 since I used some of the new stuff.
You can grab it here: https://github.com/stroebjo/alfred-pushover/releases
 
Hope it's of any use for somebody! If you have any feedback or suggestions, I'm looking forward to it! ;-)
 

Alfred Preferences > Features > Contacts > Advanced > [X] Use Spotlight metadata for searching contacts
 
That should do what you want.

Currently if I type in "andres" while searching for a contact named "Andrés", the results come back with nothing.
 
It would be great to be able to find contacts with accents within their names, without having to type it specifically.

Hey all,
 
I have just published the Alfred Confluence workflow.
The Alfred Confluence workflow let's you find and open Confluence pages and blog posts from Alfred.
Once installed and set up, just type c <search terms> ('c' standing for Confluence).
 
Download & Links:
Latest Release: https://github.com/skleinei/alfred-confluence/releases/download/1.0.2/alfred-confluence.alfredworkflow Docs: https://github.com/skleinei/alfred-confluence Packal: http://www.packal.org/workflow/alfred-confluence-quick-search  
I've tested with Alfred 3 and on macOS Sierra. Hope you find it useful.
 
Cheers,
-Stefan

This workflow is officially deprecated if favour of Alfred’s Dispatch Key Combo Output. You can find the old source on Github.
 
Quick reference for when you need to tell application "System Events" to key code in AppleScript. Call it with kc.



Type a search term to filter keys.

Call nf followed by a file name (if no extension is given, .txt will be used) to make a new file. Calling nfo instead will open the files after creation.

nd and ndo behave similarly, but for directories. Two important diferences: no extension is added, and subdirectories can be created with /.

If a Finder or Path Finder window is the frontmost window, the new paths will be created there, otherwise they will be created on the Desktop. Use | to separate the names of multiple entries (surrounding spaces will be trimmed).

It looks like this is unmaintained, so I took the latest release, made the tweaks to suit Alfred 3 and stuck it on GitHub. 
 
Grab it at https://github.com/ihowson/EggTimer2/releases/tag/v1.0.0
 

Since getting the AirPods, I wanted to be able to switch between them and the default audio device(s) with Alfred.
 
And I wanted to change both the input and output devices to the AirPods and back. e.g. avoiding the state of input = Built-in Microphone, while output = AirPods.
 
Usage is pretty simple with the default being to enable the AirPods:
 
airpods or 
airpods on or
airpods blah and to disable the AirPods or revert back:
airpods off More detailed setup and configuration as well as dependencies and code are here:
 
https://github.com/paulsri/alfred-airpods-selector
 

⌘+H hides the active application.

You could try a Run Script action (with Language = /usr/bin/osascript (AS)):
 
tell application "OmniFocus" to activate

I've noticed a few threads on the forum that integrate Alfred with JIRA but wasn't quite able to find one that did everything I was looking for so I decided to try my hand at writing my own (in Node.js). 
 
Here are a few of the features:
List issues assigned to you List issues that you are "watching" Search JIRA Assign an issue to a user Transition the status of an issue Quickly add a comment to an issue View an issue's priority Watch/Unwatch an issue Open issue in a web browser I'm still in the process of developing the workflow so I haven't yet created an .alfredworkflow file. That said, if you'd like to install and test the workflow for me, instructions can be found on my github page. If you have suggestions/features those are certainly welcome as well. 
 

Hi Sean,
 
To preview a snippet, pop up either the Clipboard History viewer or set a hotkey for the Snippets Viewer (in Features > Snippets, set a hotkey). When you press that hotkey, you'll be presented with a list of your snippets on the left, and a preview of its content on the right.
 

 
You can find out more about Snippets and text expansion here:

Cheers,
Vero

Thanks for this!

Thanks for the offer of help, the issue was PEBCAK... I failed to take into account the importance of the "to" in the command. Thanks!

Your new changes have made it useable for me again, thank you! Definitely one of my most used workflows so it's very appreciated.

Hi,
 
For the sheer number of hotkeys that I'm recreating from v1, and the already large number of workflows I'm already using (awesome stuff from people here in the forums!); it would be great if the v1 hotkeys windows was brought into v2.  Not only is it faster to setup, but it's much easier to see what is using which key combinations,  and it would help keep the volume of workflows down in the workflows screen. As well, for new Alfred users, it would be a lot easier to set up than having them have to understand the workflows.
