Alfred

Alfred is a keyboard-driven launcher for opening apps, finding files and searching the web. You can use hotkeys and keywords to reach results, and Alfred prioritises results based on how you use your Mac. Files can be browsed, previewed and acted on without switching to the mouse.

Clipboard History lets you find and paste text, images and files you copied earlier. Snippets store frequently used text and expand short abbreviations into longer responses, URLs or other saved content.

Workflows connect hotkeys, keywords and actions to automate repetitive tasks without writing code. You can build your own or import workflows shared by the community. Alfred also supports calculations, dictionary lookups, system commands and opening Terminal to run shell commands.

File tools let you collect several files and apply an action to them together, or locate recent documents for particular apps. Alfred can also search local contacts and control Music.app, including browsing your collection and playing albums.
