In last week's show, Lee walked you through the features available with the free version of Alfred. This week, he takes it up a notch by showing what you can do with a purchase of the Powerpack. It both extends the free functionality as well as adds new features to an already rich application.
In this video, you'll learn how to use Alfred to navigate your folder structure, buffer files for actioning later, access Contact information, manage Music playback, integrate with 1Password as well as get started on building your own workflows to improve your productivty.
Alfred from Running with Crayons runs on macOS 10.14 and newer.

Excellent video as usual! I am looking forward to the workflows video.
Thanks Robert - I enjoyed this one and have just started the outline for the Workflows one. Hoping it's a winner too!
Really useful stuff that will enhance my use of Alfred. Thank you! One question: I'd like to make it so that clicking Alfred's Contacts addresses takes me to Google rather than Apple maps, as shown in your video. But when I replace the existing Apple URL in the Contacts/Map URL slot with the one you used, https://google.com/maps/search/?q={query}, then clicking the Contacts address only takes me to Google maps home page, not the location for the address. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Antony,
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. The URL should work! I've just tested again here it's OK - so perhaps copy paste either one of the below directly into the field:
https://google.com/maps/search/?q= {query}
https://maps.google.com/?q= {query}
Cheers!
Thanks, Lee... but neither working. I get Google's map page appear, fir sure, but a message saying "Google Maps can't find ... and then the address I clicked with each field's contents enclosed in %20 and %19 characters.
Hi Antony.
You can send me a screenshot if you like to [email protected] - happy to try and help
This was my first video watched as an SCO subscriber. Excellent resource. Looking forward to doing even more with Alfred in the future! Really excited for the Workflows video
Great to hear Kara! I enjoy creating videos on topics I use daily, such as this, and the outline for the Workflows video is taking shape nicely.
Fantastic screencast. Been using Alfred for a long time, but STILL learned stuff.
Thanks, Lee.

Thanks Jess, that's why I still love doing this because I learn stuff myself when I'm researching as well and it improves my workflows personally! More to come on Alfred too, just buttoning up the workflow video now.
