Audio Switcher

[Beet]

I started with the idea in https://agileadam.com/2020/05/switch-audio-input-output-device-using-alfred/, turned it into an Alfred workflow, and collaborated with https://github.com/Jeffr89 to make the setup easier.

 

It has an external dependency which can be installed with `brew install switchaudio-osx`.

 

It doesn't use ENV vars for configuration, but is a bit naughty in writing workflow variables directly to the .plist file when it autodetects switchaudio-osx.

 

Usage and screenshots in the README: https://github.com/beet/alfred_audio_switcher

That’s indeed a bit hacky. What’s the reasoning behind it? Alfred 5 has the Homebrew paths in PATH by default, so you can just call the tool directly, no need to write it.

 

If there are other settings, they should be User Configuration, which not only is user-facing but creates a prefs.plist. If the written data is not for user tweaking, it should instead go into alfred_workflow_data.

 

Additionally, could you share some backgroundless screenshots, as per the pinned post?
