Tutorial Description

With Version 5, Alfred released its own built-in gallery that allows you to download workflows from a centralised location.  Prior to this, workflows needed to be sourced from GitHub repositories and other locations on the Internet.  They still can be retrieved that way, however having a one-stop shop for finding tools that make your day-to-day tasks on macOS easier is a great feature. In this short video, Lee guides you through browsing the new Alfred Gallery, and goes through installing useful workflows such as a Thesaurus, and Currency Converter.

  • Alfred requires macOS 10.14 or newer

I have downloaded this workflow, but when I go to use it, it does not take me to a thesaurus. It shows Google and other search engines. Does this not work in the US? Or am I missing something?

Hi Nick,

It does indeed. I'll email you separately to get some information.

Henry Gauthier

I have the same issue as Akerman.

Thanks Henry - I have logged a ticket with the devs to try and get some guidance as I can't replicate it myself.

Hi Henry,
Nick's issue was resolved using the following steps - if you could try also please?
1. Open Alfred's preferences to Workflows and click "Alfred Gallery" at the bottom of the sidebar
2. Hold Alt and "Resolve dependencies..." will change to "Repair tools..."
3. Click "Repair Tools..." and follow the steps to check and update any dependencies as needed.

Thanks

Lee
