homever Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Can you provide url scheme? So we can launch remote within Launch centre pro. Need screen uncluttered. cbsjin 1 Link to comment
Januz Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes, please!! That would be the key feature motivating me to buy the app. Generally, I don't need to control my Mac from iOS. Some other apps also provide the possibility to run AppleScripts from iOS. But what would be really great would be to start Alfred workflows from LaunchCenter Pro or, for really important ones, using gestures defined with Activator (Jailbreak)... Link to comment
dfay Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) There is an existing alfred:// URL scheme on the Mac but I believe it's only used for adding workflows and themes at the moment. I tried typing an alfred:// URL into Safari on the iPhone and got a Cannot Open Page message. This is totally unrelated (or really, the exact opposite of what is being asked for) but I stumbled across this interesting link about using Alfred for Mac to run URL schemes on iOS devices: http://www.geekswithjuniors.com/note/launch-ios-actions-from-the-mac-using-alfred-and-command-c.html Edited January 28, 2015 by dfay Link to comment
DJay Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Bear April and still miss URL scheme for iOS Alfred Remote App. alfred:// or alfredremote:// Installed Launcher App on my iPad and tried to add a custom laucher for Alfred Remote to start it right from the Notification center. It's just a line of Code that you have to put in an updated version of your iOS App of Alfred Remote, isn't it? Thx in advance. Link to comment
Andrew Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Bear April and still miss URL scheme for iOS Alfred Remote App. alfred:// or alfredremote:// Installed Launcher App on my iPad and tried to add a custom laucher for Alfred Remote to start it right from the Notification center. It's just a line of Code that you have to put in an updated version of your iOS App of Alfred Remote, isn't it? Thx in advance. It's significantly more than this... primarily the security implications. As soon as an app has a URL scheme, this can be run by any app (including websites) at any point. [simplified], this would mean that a website could run things on your Mac. If a URL scheme comes to Alfred Remote, it would need to be a negotiated and secured scheme to only allow authorised apps to run things on your Mac. Take a look at this search term on Google for more info: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=secure+url+scheme Essentially, inter-app communication will come to Remote, but only after careful consideration.

Andrew Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Oh oh, just re-read... if it's just a URL scheme for launching remote (and not posting commands to Alfred), then I already have a ticket for this Link to comment
DJay Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Your 2nd Post. Thanks Andrew. Very looking forward to this URL scheme just to launch Alfred Remot App on iOS. Link to comment
homever Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think we'll just have to wait a bit. Thanks Andrew. Link to comment
Calion Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I'm interested in this because I have some old Sherlock bookmarklets that I'd like to use with Alfred: javascript:x=escape(getSelection());window.location='sherlock://com.apple.dictionary?query='+x+'&new_window&toolbar=hidden'; sherlock://com.apple.flights?new_window&toolbar=hidden sherlock://com.apple.movies?zip=62903&new_window&toolbar=hidden javascript:x=escape(getSelection());window.location='sherlock://com.apple.stockQuotes?query='+x+'&new_window&toolbar=hidden'; javascript:x=escape(getSelection());window.location='sherlock://com.apple.translation?source='+x+'&new_window&toolbar=hidden'; javascript:x=escape(getSelection());window.location='sherlock://com.apple.yellowPages?query='+x+'&zip=95014&new_window&toolbar=hidden'; Link to comment
dfay Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Unfortunately these all depend on various services that were provided by the Sherlock app itself. But I'd bet that all of them can be replaced by existing Alfred workflows or custom searches. Link to comment
