Developer Productivity: How I use Alfred 4 to speed up my work

[@quincylarsonmusic]

Alfred basically turns your entire mac into a CLI. I love it and have used it for years. Thanks for creating this video and sharing your Alfred tips.

[@FaradayAcademy]

Thanks! Maybe you should make a video about your setup too.

[@CsabaKissColorado]

Finally somebody explaining Workflows clearly and concisely. Thank you very much. I learned a lot.

[@JeffSzuc]

I've been on the fence about switching to the paid version of Alfred. The real-life examples in this video were really helpful in deciding to go for it.

[@ryanjm]

The idea of using it for context switching is brilliant. I am going to have to try that. With snippets, I'd recommend trying out the auto-expand option. That can really save a lot of time too.

[@OtRatsaphong]

Thanks for this walkthrough of Alfred. Very useful! I don't know I missed Alfred. Will definitely be installing it.

[@abrownecreative]

Thanks. I love your clear explanations. I've just started using Alfred 4, so I'm going to use some of your tips.

[@pnddesign]

You sold me! The dev work flow, open localhost, tab terminal ...YES !!! Pair this with moom to recall windows positions and you are golden :-p

[@sykim4293]

Alfred, Keyboard Maestro, Karabiner to glue everything together to custom hotkey, macros, workflows!

[@xiaojueguan5144]

love your video very much, your video is awesome !!!

[@akinney123]

This is fantastic, thank you!

[@BryanJenks]

ooo yes, ill be watching this. I use alfred on my machine too and i like it, do you stick to the free version or do you use the paid version? and if you do use paid do you feel its worth it? if you do; why?

[@FaradayAcademy]

I use a lot of workflows and I don't think you can use those on the free version. I'm also really liking the snippets now. I've been using the clipboard history and searching for a long time too.

[@BryanJenks]

i guess i should wait to see if thats covered in the video xD im too impatient lol

[@BryanJenks]

@@FaradayAcademy oh neat, i assume you'll be showcasing those in the video?

[@FaradayAcademy]

@@BryanJenks Yes :)

[@BryanJenks]

@@FaradayAcademy sweet! definitely looking forward to it then. ive been on the fence about buying it cause its pricy for an app/service

[@ekowee730]

Thanks for the concise video, was super helpful, i didnt quite get the part about copying and pasting across devices, do you mean the mobile app?

[@FaradayAcademy]

I didn't know alfred had a mobile app. I mean that I can copy something on my phone and paste in on my laptop or vice-versa. I don't need any other applications installed to be able to do that with Alfred.

[@DiegoMadrigali]

What theme do you use in VSCode?

[@maqdala]

Thank youf for sharing your Alfred workflow tips. Btw, why are not you using auto expansion for your snippets? Instead of firing up Alfred and then type the snip keyword, you could have a keyword to trigger the expansion. Say :twitter will expand your twitter link.

[@FaradayAcademy]

Thanks. I actually started using auto expansion after I made this video 😁. I also have a lot more stuff in Alfred now like emojis 😎

[@maqdala]

@@FaradayAcademy I see. Nice. I use the snippets for emojis and more too. But now sending you 👍👍👍👍from my windows pc using espanso ( a multiplatform text expansion tool) .

[@thehappyalgorithm7707]

It's a shame there is no Alfred for windows or nothing that compares. Nice video - you just earned another subscriber

[@jmmpoy]

Very useful ! thanks

[@robinx6138]

So it's basically dmenu for mac! I currently only use it for opening apps but it's so powerful. Too bad I use Windows at work and mac only at home

[@BryanJenks]

dmenu fam! yes!!! windows the best we got is pressing the mod key and typing the name of the app. or writing a batch file, or using MOD+R to open the run menu but thats not really useful beyond CMD or notepad >.>

[@halfalligator6518]

I'm guessing the "argument" field is useful when you want to use the same process for many similar projects but maybe you just change one aspect like the project itself?

[@teeI0ck]

brilliant

[@GajendraJena]

wonderful app

[@zouyuemail1610]

thanks。谢谢你的分享

[@DreamingDolphing]

Windows has programs similar to Alfred: Wox, Keypirinha, Launchy, Listary.

[@0xDEAD_Inside]

Windows alternatives that I use. Microsoft Powertoys, Listary, Ditto.

[@FaradayAcademy]

Thanks for the suggestions

[@iankastelic881]
