Alfred Updated to Version 2.0 with Improved Customization and Workflows

This is news about Mac related stuff??? What is this crap doing on macrumors? It is all about iOS!!!
/sarcasm

Seriously though, very happy for this update

 

Can't wait for the update on the MAS. The new workflows sound great.

 

Been enjoying Alfred v2 for a couple of months now. Great load of updates to the app and really loving the workflows.

 

Such a great app! I've been using the PowerPack version for months and it's great. Way better than spotlight.

 

Excellent App, just downloaded and upgrading the Power pack licence.

 

Alfred replaced Launch Bar for me a year or so ago. This new workflow system looks interesting although the support web page could be a little easier to follow...

 

I use this app all the time at work. Being able to load bookmarks, search various things as well as the most robust keyboard mapping tool makes this my top app.

I've gotten so accustomed to it in my workflow I'd be lost if they stopped making it.

 

I hear you can have this new version and the old one installed at the same time.

 

I got this a while back for free during a promotion, have never used it. I've tried, but I might be missing the point (?)

My bad, it is currently free. I could have sworn there was a time when it wasn't. Oh well.

 

So is it better than version 1 ? Does it take up less ram?

I have the power pack and I am wondering if I should upgrade.

 

Hands down one of the most useful apps I've ever had the pleasure of using... makes work and play on my Macs a joy, even more so with some of the amazing workflows available and the ability to craft your own.

 

Is v2 a free u/g from v1.x? Just asking as "Check For Update" in the app still says I'm on the latest version.

Not sure if it will be. The current version on MAS is 1.2, but the latest v1.x version is 1.3.3 - so why isn't that on the MAS? Perhaps they aren't distributing via MAS any more?

 

They sent out new license numbers today for those eligible.

 

The basic App is free, but if you have the power pack installed, you will need to buy the upgrade to enable the power pack features in V2, unless you qualify for a free power pack upgrade. It was £10 for me to upgrade my Power pack 1 to Power Pack 2 Licence.

 

Anyone who's followed this app for a while, does it ever go on sale?

Nevermind.. I bought it. Couldn't resist looking at the workflows. Pretty cool and powerful.

 

I also upgraded and got the Mega Support pack.

 

Nice update to Alfred, impressed. $22 dollars a bit pricey for the powerpack though

----------

This is true, V2 is rewritten and a completely new app

 

You might check out Quicksilver. It's completely free and very powerful.

 

how did I not even know about the power pack, I've been using alfred for years.. Mac App Store has dumbed me down haha

 

Thanks Ill take a look at it

 

How does this compare to Automator?
