About
Alfred is an award-winning macOS app that boosts your efficiency with hotkeys, keywords, text expansion and more. You can launch applications, find files, and search your Mac and the web, and Alfred learns how you use your Mac and prioritises results. Custom actions let you control your Mac, and the core of Alfred is free to download and use.
Alfred also includes Clipboard History, which lets you search and paste past copied text, images, file paths and colour hex codes. Snippets let you save frequently used text and auto-expand a short abbreviation into the full text. Other built-in tools include a calculator, spell checking and definitions, system commands such as sleep and emptying the Trash, and Quick Look previews that open when you tap the Shift key.
The Alfred Powerpack adds workflows, which you can build by linking hotkeys, keywords and actions together without writing code, or import from the community, as well as themes for customising Alfred's appearance. Powerpack also provides control of Music.app. Alfred Remote for iOS is sold separately and turns an iPhone or iPad into a command centre for your Mac.
