FAQ
Does this require an Alfred account? No. Alfred Gallery is publicly accessible without login.
What is Alfred? Alfred is a productivity app for macOS that provides hotkeys, keywords, text expansion, and custom workflow automation. Workflows require the paid Powerpack license.
What tags are available?
Alfred Gallery organises workflows with 100+ tags including: ai, audio, automation, bookmarks, browser, clipboard, developer, dictionary, email, files, git, markdown, music, productivity, search, system, terminal, text, translation, utilities, video, web, and many more.
What's the difference between modes?
search: scrapes all workflow listing pages then fetches detail pages for workflows matching your keyword filter.browse: scrapes workflow listing pages (optionally filtered by tag), then fetches detail pages for each.
Why does scraping take time? Alfred Gallery is HTML-based without a public JSON API. The actor must scrape listing pages to discover workflow IDs, then fetch individual detail pages for full metadata. A 300ms delay between requests is used to be polite to the server.
Are all available workflows included?
The actor paginates through Alfred Gallery listing pages to discover workflows, subject to your maxItems limit. New workflows are added regularly to the gallery.
