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!!
Almost 10 years and this video I still relevant! You rock mate! I hope you're doing well in life!
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 TH-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.

Thanks David - Love the info on your videos. Thanks.
Very useful review David! Thanks
thanks , was very useful
Thanks for the effort on making this video, useful and no wasting any second!
with no doubt the best review for this app so far.
Thanks David for this nice video! Could you please say something about the difference between paid and free version of alfred?
Fantastic as usual.
Thanks for this great video on using Alfred2.
I can't use contacts, clipboard, iTunes, 1Password, Workflows, and Custom Appearances without the powerpack version
Im not a techy but you explained it better than the others I was trying to follow....many thanks. Im also passing your site to others
Thanks for the tutorial on Hazel...found Alfred tutorial. Thanks so much.
Excellent tutorial --- suited my needs perfectly
David, From Holland a very big thanks. learnt a lot in just 17 minutes.
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.

1Password is definitely the saves method to manage your credentials!
Thank you David !
Excellent tutorial… as usual
Thanks very much
Lovely app. Thanks for explaining.
Very clear and completely understandable. Thanks.
Very Helpful. I am a new Mac user. Thank you!
Really good app but didn’t know how to launch it. Now I do thanks to David Cox. He makes it sooooo easy.
Your videos are great and very informative.
Great video, thank you!
Very clear intro to Alfred
🎉😊
GREAT video well done!! thanks from friends and fans Amsterdam Holland!!
Any suggestions Alfred Vs launchbar ?
David can you make the video NTFS usb format cant read or write in MAC.
using it back and forth between Mac and PC
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)?
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 so much for tutorial Video.
this is very helpful thank you!!
@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
Thank you. It is very helpful
I did not yet started watching this video but i think i am going to love it!
It’s also good for power users, who want something a lot more functional and customizable than Spotlight.
awesome. Thank you again! Great video.
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.
Fantastic!
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.
Nice video. Is there any equivalent of alfred for windows 8 ?
Does Alfred could be a mix between Spotlight and Automator?
thank you so much for this!!
Thanks, good video
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.
Great Video.
useful... wondering is Alfred moonlights on the PC?
awesome review! Thanks :P
This is life-changing. Is there any way to use a hotkey to open the application in fullscreen mode?
Good stuff. How about an advanced Alfred tutorial?
Thank you that was very very good! I didn’t know my friend Arthur was that smart. Uncle John
Thank you!
Hi David ...i need a TH-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
Thanks David it is great APP
Is Alfred you use in the video the Powerpack?
you have more options than me under feature, do you have the paid version?
Ia Alfred and Launchbar 6 similar apps? If so, which is better?
great app!
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......
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
i was wondering if alfred can help with deleting the hidden files from things like "memory keeper"
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
What happened to the iTunes tutorial?...can we type a song and play it like spotlight search
good app
2:19 actual vid starts
***** 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.

How to search for external hard drive? THX
I am beginning to love Alfred thanks to your video. However, when i OPEN Facebook, iTunes pops up. What's up with that?
why aren't the contacts or the clipboard showing on my left column?
I'm 69 I needed this to google my porn I can't remember the porn stars name so this is just perfect
great
What makes this better than spotlight?
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
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.
Very interesting video but it would be great if you could do a more in depth video about Alfred.
Is there a Siri interface for Alfred?
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.
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.
When he said this app is for seniors...
That really hurt
hahaha! fred@barneysbitch.com at 10:20
you dont remmend 1Password with Alfred? or dont recomment 1Password in general?
If i could like this video 10x just for Fred Flintstones email address alone, i would.
what does iTunes do?
COOOOOOL
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!
