Alfred
Alfred is a powerful application launcher and productivity tool for macOS that serves as a replacement for Spotlight search. It allows users to quickly launch applications, search files and folders, perform web searches, execute custom workflows, and automate repetitive tasks using hotkeys and text commands. Power users often rely on Alfred's advanced features like clipboard history, text snippets, file actions, and third-party workflows to dramatically speed up their daily computing tasks. The app has both free and paid (Powerpack) versions, with the latter unlocking workflow automation and advanced productivity features.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionGood news! Alfred already has full native Apple Silicon support. The developer has released a Universal Binary version that runs natively on M1/M2/M3 Macs. Based on the search results, Alfred has been running as a Universal build since the Apple Silicon transition began, with the developers noting 'remarkable performance' on M1 chips. The current version (5.7.2 as of the Homebrew data) should include native Apple Silicon support. You can download the latest version directly from the Alfred website to ensure you have the Universal Binary.
