In the changelog for the most recent version, it looks like the keywords have changed, but the README hasn't been updated to reflect the change:
 
 

@Chris Messina I think what's showing up are not the 5 different case change universal actions, but the placeholder title for the three keyword script filters ("cc", "change", "case") that you created in your edit of the workflow. I guess you're stuck with those unless script filters can exclude themselves as actions for specific file types (can they?)

I've actually had this disabled for the last few years.  Glad to see it was such an easy fix.

Look at me! I'm early this year 🤪
 
Based on early searches, macOS 12 Monterey seems to use the same commands as macOS 11.
 
Update the code to more clearly identify new OS' going forward and add support for macOS 12.

@troycurtisjr With help from someone on reddit, I was able to cobble together code that tests for Do Not Disturb status on Big Sur. The plist file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ncprefs contains a plist item dnd_prefs. That item contains a base64-encoded binary plist (bplist). When that is decoded, if DND is enabled, it would look something like this:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>dndDisplayLock</key> <false/> <key>dndDisplaySleep</key> <false/> <key>dndMirrored</key> <false/> <key>facetimeCanBreakDND</key> <false/> <key>repeatedFacetimeCallsBreaksDND</key> <false/> <key>userPref</key> <dict> <key>date</key> <date>2021-01-15T04:35:29Z</date> <key>enabled</key> <true/> <key>reason</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> </dict> </plist>  
The presence of the <key>userPref</key> and the <key>enabled</key> within the adjacent <dict></dict> indicate DND is enabled.
 
So the following code produces 1 if DND is enabled, and 0 if it is disabled:

 
#!/bin/zsh dnd_enabled=$(plutil -extract dnd_prefs xml1 -o - ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ncprefs.plist | xpath -q -e 'string(//data)' | base64 -D | plutil -convert xml1 - -o - | xpath -q -e 'boolean(//key[text()="userPref"]/following-sibling::dict/key[text()="enabled"])') echo $dnd_enabled  
Note: there seems to often be a lag time of a few seconds before the result reflects any change to DND.
 
Feel free to incorporate that in your workflow.
 

I think so. Most of the code is re-purposed from the web frontend. I use it, in any case.
 
 
They're at least as safe as a browser extension, and arguably better than copy-pasting passwords from another app.
 
The main advantage of a standalone password manager is that you can put more than just website passwords in there.

It is (in my opinion) still way better than not using a password management at all. 
 
I am not really in a position to judge that. The github issue is more than 4 years old, so I hope they learned something since then. Personally, I am using the Firefox extension without having investigated any closer, I'm trusting (perhaps wrongly so) that a security company does at least a few things right.  

I guess they were referrring to
 
So storing both the encrypted data and the en-/decryption key in the same unprotected storage ("plainly on disk") is indeed a horrible idea. Storing it in a place that is potentially vulnerable to direct access via malicious websites in case the browser itself is attackable via a browser vulnerability is another issue. The latter is the reason why it is generally not the best idea to use a browser's own password management feature.

Good day to you ladies and gentlemen,
 
just a little introduction:
When I was looking for a 2Do workflow, I did not find something that really fits my needs. But I found this: http://www.packal.org/workflow/apple-reminders
That is why I decided to create a 2Do workflow similar to the workflow above.
 
You can add following information through Alfred:
Keywords are: rm, twodo and todo Task title (can't be empty) Due date (if empty or wrong format, it will use your default) Due time (if empty or wrong format, it will use your default) List (if empty or list doesn't exist, it will use your default)  
Other functions:
st <keyword> - will search for your keyword in 2Do nt - launches the app with new task screen   
Some further information to due date and due time:
Due date formats:
<day> - will add the current month and current year <day>.<month> - current year will be added <day>.<month>. - current year will be added <day>.<month>.<year> <weekday> - the next <weekday> (f.e. Friday) will be your due date today tomorrow next week in <days> days - due in x days  <days> days - same as above  
Due time formats:
<hours> - will add ":00"  <hours>:<minutes>  
If you have any suggestions, please keep the 2do url-schemes in mind: https://www.2doapp.com/kb/article/url-schemes.html
But feel free to post them! Also don't forget to ask questions.

I've incorporated @paulw snippet to hopefully support Big Sur and previous releases. I can only test on Catalina currently, so if anyone on Big Sur would try out v0.1.3 I would really appreciate it! Let me know how it works out.
 
@paulw While it might work to make mods to that plist file to do the enable/disable, I assume it'd be roughly equivalent to modifying the similar plist file in Catalina and before. That means we'd need to kill the Notification Center process to force a re-read of the preference. However, the indicator would be out of sync, which is why I opted for the keyboard shortcut method, even though that requires more manual setup.

@paulw, thank you! Works better than my hacky applescript.

@troycurtisjr With help from someone on reddit, I was able to cobble together code that tests for Do Not Disturb status on Big Sur. The plist file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ncprefs contains a plist item dnd_prefs. That item contains a base64-encoded binary plist (bplist).

The presence of the <key>userPref</key> and the <key>enabled</key> within the adjacent <dict></dict> indicate DND is enabled.
 
So the following code produces 1 if DND is enabled, and 0 if it is disabled:

Note: there seems to often be a lag time of a few seconds before the result reflects any change to DND.

@deanishe – According to Patrick Wardle, the macOS 11.2 beta 2 suggests that Apple is removing this policy going forward! 
 
And kudos to @blacs30 for an awesome workflow!

Go to the workflow environment variables, and change "2FA_ENABLED" from to "true" to "false", and then you can log in.

No. Changing the SQLite database is a bad idea:

Hi there,
 
Just sharing my first workflow. Some OCR workflow already exist but are relying on some obscur chinese API with exposed personal credentials... This one use your system own installation of `tesseract`. Just take a snapshot and paste the text. The script usually takes no more than a few seconds.

PR welcome.
Hope it helps!

Mega useful for me. Thnx.
p.s. I excluded the warning message by Alfred's utility "Replace" with regex:
Warning: Invalid resolution.*?\nEstimating resolution.*?\n  
 

I had to create a new Urban Dictionary workflow as my previous one was broken.
 

 
It's available on GitHub.

I'm sure it has been! Can't even imagine!

Howdy Paul,
Thank you for the feedback, I have often wondered if anyone got use out of this particular part of the workflow. So I will certainly take your request into account in future versions. Having just gone through two major releases in one holiday period and exhausting a LOOOOOOOT of Dev time, I don't foresee any major changes (or deprecation of anything) for some time so you are definitely safe for now.
 
Also Glad to hear you are happy with it, haha it is a LOOOOONG labour of love.

Hi, I just configured your complex and amazing workflow. I wonder if it's possible to simply call up a map of an address, rather than always have to look up directions from one location to another?
 
I see that I can use the "maps" keyword to look up a map of an address without needing directions between two locations. I also see that the "maps" keyword may be deprecated. I'd like to see the functionality of a non-direction map be kept in the future!
