Alfred 5.5 is now available, with the huge exciting addition of the Grid, Text, Image and PDF views that bring your Alfred results to life in a whole new way!
Hi, I'm Vero, Alfred co-founder 👋
Alfred 5.5 is a huge release; With the Grid, Text, Image and PDF Views, you can present your results in Alfred in a whole new way!
You can see some of the highlights of what's new in Alfred 5.5 here:
https://www.alfredapp.com/whats-...
To show you how you can use these new objects, we've created a few workflows:
The ChatGPT / DALL-E integration workflow (https://alfred.app/workflows/alf...) uses the interactive Text View so that you can ask ChatGPT your question, get streaming results in-line and continue the conversation with further questions. You can also use DALL-E in-line for image generation.
The Thumbnail Navigation workflow (https://alfred.app/workflows/alf...) primarily uses the Grid View; Browse your files, images and folders visually in Alfred, and preview images, PDFs and documents in-line.
We've also created a Memory Pairs game (https://alfred.app/workflows/vit... Test your brain with a card-matching game. It saves your current state so you can come back to it later to finish your game. 😆
These new views are already being integrated into more existing popular workflows, many of which are included in the Gallery. As well as these, You'll find hundreds of curated, verified workflows created by our team and community workflow creators on Alfred Gallery (https://alfred.app)
As ever, our forum community is always there to help you pick or create the best workflows to suit your own working style and productivity habits.
Long time Alfred user — but drifted towards Raycast because it embraced the web, web services, OAuth, and modern productivity.
I'm not sure what changed on the Alfred side, but I'm glad to see that it's coming into the future, slowly, with its 5.5 release.
Alfred 5.5 maintains Alfred's status for rock solid stability and versatility embedded in a tiny app. 5.5 is a superb release adding new features which comprise great enhancements that are simple to incorpoate in workflows. As with most things Alfred-related you really don't need to be a skilled programmer to create useful and sophisticated workflows with little effort—and, for the likes of me, that is a huge advantage.
(Full disclosure: I've used Alfred for years and am a moderator on the Alfred forum.)
I LOVE Alfred, been using it for a couple of years already. Really cool feature added! Going to try it right now
I'm already a huge fan of Alfred; I can't wait to see how the addition of GPT and DALL-E makes it even more powerful!
Alfred user since 2018. Use it every 10 minutes or so 🤣 Super cool to be able to talk to ChatGPT directly from Alfred. Would love to have a workflow that integrates the Perplexity Online API
Congrats on the launch of Alfred 5.5! 🎉 The addition of Grid, Text, Image, and PDF views is a fantastic enhancement to Alfred's functionality.
How do you envision the new Grid, Text, Image, and PDF views transforming the way users interact with Alfred, and what inspired their implementation in this latest release? Can't wait to explore the possibilities!
I used Alfred before OSX had Spotlight. Great to see they have integrated AI. Makes me think that Apple might probably integrate Gemini into Spotlight with their partnership.
