Unit Converter — Convert between different units of measurement

[vitor]

Usage

Convert dimensions via the conv keyword. Type a number to see all available units with their full name and symbol.

Type a unit to filter.

Pressing ↩ on a partial match triggers the autocomplete. See all possible conversion targets when matching a unit exactly.

Type further to filter for target units. Connector words (“to”, “as”, “in”) are optional to help with readability. Rounding precision and notation can be set in the Workflow’s Configuration.

• ↩: Copy result to clipboard.
• ⌘↩: Paste result to frontmost app.

Configure the Hotkey or use the Universal Action as shortcuts to convert results from Alfred’s Calculator, Clipboard History, or selected text.

great workflow!

a couple of suggestions:

 

1) to add the option of showing thousand separators

e.g. speed of light:

2) it would be great to accept as input imperial measurements (e.g. 5ft8in to cm),

3) accept ' for ft and '' for inches (e.g. 5'8'')

+1 for currency conversion (even via an API download list), like this one: 

 

 

[vitor]

Currency conversion was planned as a different workflow from the start, because it’s a different type of measurement that changes unpredictably over time and requires an internet connection, the APIs are completely separate. This allows having each workflow play to their strengths (e.g. including flags for currencies). Currency Converter is now live.
