Tutorial Description

Alfred has been Lee's go-to app and file launcher since he first logged onto a Mac over 10 years ago. During that time, it's continued to evolve with new features added on a regular basis. It can be a one-stop shop for creating automation workflows to make your Mac sing and dance, which can at times seem daunting.

For many of us though, the free version is more than enough to make you switch from, or use alongside Spotlight. Finding and opening files, creating custom web searches, and easily accessing many system settings is easy with Alfred.

In this video, Lee shows you how to make the most of this great utility without spending a dime (yet...).
