• Powerful Workflows

  With Alfred's Powerpack, you can use immensely powerful workflows to perform tasks more efficiently and cut down on repetitive manual tasks. You can connect workflow objects together like building blocks to create workflows without writing any code. You can launch your workflows with a hotkey, a keyword, or even a button in Alfred Remote on your iPad. You can create your own workflows or import existing workflows from the thousands of workflows shared by the Alfred community.

• Customizable Search

  You can extend Alfred's core search functionality with customizable filters for file types and locations you need quick access to. You can view search results from sites like Google and Amazon directly in Alfred, or create searches for your own favorite sites and services. You can also locate recent documents via apps on your Mac.

• Clipboard History

  You can save text clips, images, and file paths to your clipboard with a keyboard shortcut, and paste them wherever you're working. You can search or browse through your recently copied clips, and never lose content you've copied while writing.

• Snippets and Auto-Expansion

  You can create and share collections of snippets for frequently typed text, from URLs and email signatures to complete responses. You can auto-expand your text snippets by typing a short keyword, or browse them in Alfred's Snippets Viewer. You can also save them from your Clipboard History Viewer with Cmd + S.

• Rich, Interactive Views

  The Text View Workflow Object offers a scriptable, editable text window with Markdown and image support. The Grid View makes it easy to browse your Mac visually with convenient thumbnail-based navigation. You can use the ubiquitous "View in Alfred" Universal Action to take advantage of these amazing new View features, such as previewing Markdown, images, PDFs, and text files from Finder or within Alfred.

• Music Control

  You can control the Music.app from your keyboard with Alfred's built-in Mini Player. You can search your music collection, pick by genre, or play random albums. If you prefer Spotify or another music service, you can use one of the great music player workflows created by the Alfred community to access your favorite one.

• File Management

  You can expertly navigate your Mac's file system from the keyboard and quick-look files before opening them. You can perform actions like emailing, moving, copying, and revealing files in Finder, and add custom actions like resizing or uploading to automate tasks you'd otherwise have to do manually.

• App and Site Integration

  You can eradicate repetitive tasks with customized hotkeys and keywords. You can import some of the thousands of workflows created by the Alfred community members or create your own. You'll find workflows integrated with numerous apps you use daily, from Dash and Twitter to Spotify and YouTube.

• Contacts Integration

  You can view your contacts' details in Alfred's Contacts Viewer. You can launch a new email or call, or copy their address to the clipboard. You can also add your own custom actions to show phone numbers in large type on your screen or call using your favorite VOIP system.

• Terminal and Shell Integration

  You can run commands and scripts in Terminal directly from Alfred. If you want even more power, you can use Alfred's Workflows to run your scripts without even opening Terminal.

• Custom Theming

  You can match Alfred to your desktop, your clothes, or your mood. You can create your own themes by choosing colors, fonts, sizes, and more. You can also show off your design skills and share your themes with friends, and import their themes.
