Alfred Workflow to Toggle WiFi

[hboon]

I often work on my Mac while running on battery and in the interest of reducing battery usage and reducing distractions from the internet, I often want to switch my WiFi on or off. I’m a keyboard person and will avoid reaching for my mouse if I can avoid it. Hence this Alfred workflow was born.

 

 

From the README:

 

This workflow for Alfred provides 3 shortcuts to switch on and off your WiFi.

 

1. w1 switch on your WiFi

2. w0 switch off your WiFi

3. w01 switches off and then switches on your WiFi

 

w01 is very useful when you want to refresh the list of WiFi access points.

@hboon Thanks for this wonderful workflow. 

You can add one more use case. When Mavericks Network fails to reconnect after Sleep/Wake Up.

I think I would use it at least 10 times every day

@hboon Is there a way the workflow show "Network Name" as an argument? 

 

I would type the workflow keyword, Alfred's Bar would appear with the list of the wi-fi networks available. 

 

That would be cool. Thank you.
