I am sold...I am a senior however enjoy learning more about Mac. When i started my journey in computing Mac was not on my horizon. I enjoy using Mac more and more each day. Thank you for all of your great tutorials David A. Cox.
Thank you so much for showing this app. When I first saw Alfred, I was blown away with all the functions that it has. You are the first that i've really seen demonstrate many of the features. Sweet!!
This has been simply fantastic; I have had the paid Alfred v2 for some time now and never fully understood (even when trying to follow other UA-cam posts), how to use it effectively, UNTIL NOW. To be honest I've never heard of David A. Cox before but now I'll be a dedicated subscriber. Can't express my apprecition enough...thank you.
Your 1password data is stored heavily encrypted using your masterkey locally on your machine unless you have it sync using something like dropbox. It's a lot safer than using the same password over and over again. That's not to say it _couldn't_ be compromised, but honestly, I think it's a better security solution than most, including keepass, which stores your data on their servers.
+jpat09 I downvoted this video because of his criticism of 1Password.. Not because of his telling people not to use alfred integration with it, but just telling people to not use 1P is silly... He's ill-informed and that's a shame.
I agree, it's ridiculous to recommend against 1password, when they offer a standalone solution, do not require you to sync your data over the internet, and don't require you to store your personal and private data (vaults) in the cloud or on their server.
David, could you please explain Wolfram? I see it's in the search query section of Alfred in your vid. I actually added it as a Chrome app but have never gotten around to using it.
So The Alfred is... basically a replacement for Mac OS Spotlight. My question is this then - is there any use of spotlight that Alfred CAN'T do and if so - can we (somehow) - shut down spotlight and use this as a default (with command+space)?
I have downloaded the Workflow for Evernote in Alfred and it looks complicated to set up keyboard shortcuts. Is it something you would like to explain in a tutorial.
@David A. Cox, I don't have the Powerpack and was wondering if Alfred Powerpack would allow me to create a Workflow or something that would automatically turn OFF notifications every time I start an app, say, Zoom (Zoom.us). I might like to add a few more actions besides turning OFF notifications. TIA
can somebody help? on tab features, i only have default and file search, there are no dictionary etc. does anyone know how to apply them? or can solve this issue? thanks
do I need to get a paid version of this? I do not seem to have all these features . If I say open it does not find my files....for accessories I only have calculator and spelling whited out. I don't have contacts emailing as a feature at all......
Very nice. Thanks for this one. Now, if I can find out how to get my LIVE mail to work inside Apple mail, I could use my Macbook Pro more. Thanks for this tutorial.
***** Just wanted add a bit of information for this tutorial regarding the HotKeys set-up. I thought I'd add this because my version of Alfred has is slightly different preference set-up. There's a HotKey button available in Alfred Preferrences. I left some screenshots in my Skydrive account for the public to view. On a side note: Had even set a HotKey to launch Camouflage to hide my desktop while taking screenshots. Link: 1drv.ms/1reZ7iR
Hi David ...i need a UA-cam downloader in my iMac I try one but it's says it can harm my computer so I cancel to download do you have any idea what to download ...?thanks
Good teaching David. Alfred is a good software to have for Seniors, to keep track of things or help memory. I will invest 28 Dollars on it if it works Macbook Pro, does it?
A lot of the features on Alfred, including Workflows, are only on the paid "Powerpack Version". So Free users can't use those features, unfortunately. If you think you will use Alfred a lot, I would definitely recommend purchasing the Powerpack because you get so many extra powerful features!
I type "Im" (to do a google image search like you did) and al it comes up with is a long list of apps that have "Im" in them..stupid alfred won't even let me remove the apps folder from searches (it's greyed out in prefs)..I can use spotlight to search for apps, why won't it let me deselect them!! Grrr
How does it compare with LaunchBar? Personally I find myself more productive in LaunchBar than I've been able to be with Alfred, but perhaps I missed something.
Oh dear problems already with this software! I clicked for search and interface disappeared! Now all i can get is the small narrow box. So can't set things up.
Still very helpful video (thx!), since Alfred did not change much, if at all, since 2014. But sorry, 1Password is the safest way to handle credentials!

1Password is definitely the saves method to manage your credentials!
David, From Holland a very big thanks. learnt a lot in just 17 minutes.
Thanks David; your video tutorials, and your thoughtful delivery are outstanding ~

I can't use contacts, clipboard, iTunes, 1Password, Workflows, and Custom Appearances without the powerpack version
Thank you David. Your El Capitan OS X Tutorial brought me to this video. You are awesome! I've learnt a lot.
AWESOME!!!!
thank you David! Alfred is my all time favorite app!! great video.
Thanks for the effort on making this video, useful and no wasting any second!
Excellent tutorial --- suited my needs perfectly
with no doubt the best review for this app so far.
Very clear intro to Alfred
🎉😊
It’s also good for power users, who want something a lot more functional and customizable than Spotlight.
This is life-changing. Is there any way to use a hotkey to open the application in fullscreen mode?
Thanks David for this nice video! Could you please say something about the difference between paid and free version of alfred?
Thanks David - Love the info on your videos. Thanks.
Nice video. Is there any equivalent of alfred for windows 8 ?
Wow! This is the most amazing app! I instantly bought the upgrade. Thanks for all the tips! You rock!
David, could you please explain Wolfram? I see it's in the search query section of Alfred in your vid. I actually added it as a Chrome app but have never gotten around to using it.

Thank you that was very very good! I didn’t know my friend Arthur was that smart. Uncle John
I have downloaded the Workflow for Evernote in Alfred and it looks complicated to set up keyboard shortcuts. Is it something you would like to explain in a tutorial.
GREAT video well done!! thanks from friends and fans Amsterdam Holland!!
Very Helpful. I am a new Mac user. Thank you!

Excellent tutorial… as usual
Thanks very much
Very useful review David! Thanks

Thanks for this great video on using Alfred2.
Good introduction to a great app!
David can you make the video NTFS usb format cant read or write in MAC.
using it back and forth between Mac and PC
Any suggestions Alfred Vs launchbar ?
Is Alfred you use in the video the Powerpack?
Dave, is it possible to extract pdf highlights using Alfred? Automator doesn't really do it even though it has the inbuilt function for it.
Very nice. Thanks for this one. Now, if I can find out how to get my LIVE mail to work inside Apple mail, I could use my Macbook Pro more. Thanks for this tutorial.
I did not yet started watching this video but i think i am going to love it!

Hi David ...i need a UA-cam downloader in my iMac I try one but it's says it can harm my computer so I cancel to download do you have any idea what to download ...?thanks
why aren't the contacts or the clipboard showing on my left column?
Good teaching David. Alfred is a good software to have for Seniors, to keep track of things or help memory. I will invest 28 Dollars on it if it works Macbook Pro, does it?
+sunday owuna This app will work on all macs.
Does Alfred could be a mix between Spotlight and Automator?
GREAT CLASS, but really it seems just like "SPOTLIGHT" , maybe a little more advanced but I don't know if it is worth the 30 dollars for it.
i was wondering if alfred can help with deleting the hidden files from things like "memory keeper"
2:19 actual vid starts
How to search for external hard drive? THX
Your videos are great and very informative.
Is Alfred still needed now that Yosemite has the improved spotlight facility? Thank you
Alfred has a lot of more features than spotlights offers.
thank you
Thanks for the video!
But I don't have "Workflows". Why?
A lot of the features on Alfred, including Workflows, are only on the paid "Powerpack Version". So Free users can't use those features, unfortunately. If you think you will use Alfred a lot, I would definitely recommend purchasing the Powerpack because you get so many extra powerful features!
Thanks a lot!
Ia Alfred and Launchbar 6 similar apps? If so, which is better?
Lovely app. Thanks for explaining.
you have more options than me under feature, do you have the paid version?
What happened to the iTunes tutorial?...can we type a song and play it like spotlight search
I type "Im" (to do a google image search like you did) and al it comes up with is a long list of apps that have "Im" in them..stupid alfred won't even let me remove the apps folder from searches (it's greyed out in prefs)..I can use spotlight to search for apps, why won't it let me deselect them!! Grrr
I am beginning to love Alfred thanks to your video. However, when i OPEN Facebook, iTunes pops up. What's up with that?
Fantastic as usual.
thanks , was very useful
awesome. Thank you again! Great video.
Is there a Siri interface for Alfred?
Very interesting video but it would be great if you could do a more in depth video about Alfred.
What makes this better than spotlight?
you dont remmend 1Password with Alfred? or dont recomment 1Password in general?
Good stuff. How about an advanced Alfred tutorial?
Thank you David !
How does it compare with LaunchBar? Personally I find myself more productive in LaunchBar than I've been able to be with Alfred, but perhaps I missed something.
Thank you so much for tutorial Video.
thank you so much for this!!
Oh dear problems already with this software! I clicked for search and interface disappeared! Now all i can get is the small narrow box. So can't set things up.

Your Videos and tutorials are great. Lot of help. But why are you keep saying "AL-FORD"? its AL-FRED
great
Woohoo, I fit 2 out of the three user groups that would benefit from Alfred 🤣
