Alfred
- Current version £34
- Lifetime licence £59
Alfred is basically the macOS spotlight but way better. Here's some core things it can do. The lifetime licence was a tough cookie when I got it 4 years ago, but after around 100K usages I feel it's paid itself back.
- Open any file on disk (FAST)
- Open chrome bookmarks (very nice)
- Really good clipboard history
- Global snippets!
- Complex workflows that can do anything if you're brave enough
Note: highly recommend Superkey shortcut for clipboard history (super + c
for me)
Getting started
- set Alfred shortcut to
cmd + space
to replace Spotlight.
