Stephen_C Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I've had the mixed pleasure this afternoon of setting up a new MacBook Pro and migrating everything from my old MacBook Pro. For a short time that left me, on the new laptop, bereft of Alfred. It was an appalling experience: no speedy access to anything, plunging around trying to launch apps, etc. Alfred, of course, returned in short measure, rediscovered his preferences, delighted in being re-registered…and my blood pressure has reduced. I think I never realise just how much I depend on Alfred until he takes a short holiday. No further holidays are now allowed, sorry Alfred. Stephen vitor 1 Link to comment
vitor Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 That made me laugh, I know the feeling! I occasionally restart Alfred for testing purposes and immediately upon quitting my instinct is to press Alfred’s shortcut. In my mind I want to bring up Alfred to tell it open Alfred. After a few times where it took way too long for my brain to realise how to open Alfred again, I readded /Applications to my Finder’s sidebar. The only reason I have it in there is to reach Alfred in those cases. Link to comment

Sridhar Katakam Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hear hear! Alfred truly is an amazing product. I tried Raycast for a few months and came back to Alfred. Alfred just feels fast. Link to comment
iandol Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I use a bunch of Linux workstations regularly for my research. There is nothing that comes close to Alfred on Linux, and I end up with a hodge-podge of utilities (launcher, clipboard manager, clipping host etc.) that cannot in any way come near the pleasure of using Alfred. While I can replace most of the general utility of Alfred, I cannot in any way replace the general "workflow" (let alone the power of workflows!). And with Alfred Gallery, this has been kicked up a whole notch! Link to comment
