:metal: A collection of Alfred 3 and 4 workflows that will rock your world
A curated collection of Alfred Powerpack workflows for macOS that add developer-focused commands including browser compatibility checks, color conversion, package lookups, and process management.
This repository is a curated collection of workflows for Alfred, a macOS productivity application. Alfred itself is a launcher: users press a keyboard shortcut to open a search bar, type a command or keyword, and Alfred performs an action. Workflows are add-ons that extend Alfred with additional commands, each triggered by a short keyword typed into that search bar.
Using these workflows requires Alfred with the Powerpack upgrade, a paid feature that unlocks the workflow system. Each workflow in the collection is available as a downloadable file that users open directly in Alfred to install.
The collection spans a range of developer-focused tasks. Several workflows speed up web lookups: one queries the caniuse.com database to check which web browsers support a given HTML or CSS feature; another searches documentation across dozens of programming languages and frameworks; a third checks domain name availability. Others handle common developer chores: converting color codes between HEX, RGB, and HSL formats; encoding or decoding strings using base64, HTML entities, or URL encoding; and looking up packages across many package managers including npm, pip, and Homebrew.
A few workflows tie into desktop tasks rather than web lookups. One prevents the Mac from sleeping by running a system command in the background. Another finds running processes by name and closes them. One opens GitHub repositories in the browser, and another shows the machine's internal and external IP address without needing to open a terminal or a browser.
The workflows are largely created by different contributors and collected here by the repository author for convenience. Each entry notes its version number, its trigger keyword, and a screenshot.
Where it fits
- Check which browsers support a CSS or HTML feature without leaving Alfred's launcher bar
- Encode or decode base64, URL, or HTML strings during development with a single Alfred keyword
- Search npm, pip, or Homebrew package docs from Alfred without opening a terminal or browser
