100% Christoph - How I Use The Alfred App And Workflows

In this video, I will show you all my favorite features of the Mac app Alfred. I will also include all the workflows that I use in the video. In order to use workflows, you will need the paid PowerPack version of Alfred.

Note: The clipboard history feature is NOT included in the free version. I said that wrong in the video.

Used Workflows:

FYI - The Clipboard History is NOT a Basic feature in Alfred 4.2. You must purchase the PowerPack for that feature.

great that you shared what you are doing. But starters like myself have no idea how to implement your github.

Interesting. Thanks.
But for dict.cc, I cannot translate from fr -> ru, I need to use: en -> ru
to have the translation. :(

The clipboard history feature is not in the free version any more.. at least I installed it today after watching your video and you need an account for it now.

2:43 Not entirely true, you can make your own Apple Scripts to Restart, Shut down, Lock Screen, whatever really that you can trigger via Spotlight.
