- This is sort of a plugin to a great OSX app, Alfred. It adds all notes in Evernote “Snippets” Notebook as a quick-paste snippet in Alfred. I use both alfred and evernote extensively, so Im quite happy about this one! Provided you have Evernote, Alfred and powerpack and this workflow installed.

This command save html caches of all of notes from your Evernote client. When the command is running, you are not able to run note searches with the `ens` command. In this case, the `ens` command displays the number of notes that are cached to show you progress. If you haven’t heard yet, Alfred 2 is out. The new version introduces workflows to the Powerpack, which I’m quickly finding to be indispensable. I’ve created a workflow for adding a single to-do or a to-do list to Evernote. It works by typing “todo” then the text you want to follow a checkbox.
08 Jul 2011Evernote Alfred
At the time of writing, this new version of Alfred really is hot offthe keyboard. It may be by the time you’re reading this post that thenew features are on general release, but if not I grabbed my copy ofAlfred 0.9.9 dev 1 build from the dev download page. The feature you’re going to needavailable is that of importing an extension in order to use this Evernote Search.
The packaged up version of my search Evernote script is available todownload using the link below. Save the zip file to a convenientlocation then open up Alfred’s preferences. Navigate to the “Extensions”settings and simply drag and drop the zip file onto the window. On thenew pop-up just click the “Import” button and you’ll now be looking atthe Search Evernote extension.
Rather than running via osascript from the terminal, Alfred now allowsAppleScript to be called directly. The script is almost identical tothat posted previously, but nowfits to the couple of lines of AppleScript Alfred uses to pass the queryparameters in.
For more on how it all works go back and check out my previous post, but the realbeauty is you can just import with a drag and drop and you’re ready tosearch.
- Alfred 2.0 was released into Beta in January 2013. The search is now included as part of the Evernote Search+ workflow for Alfred 2.0.

Alfred Workflow - Drafts
22 Apr 2021
Building on my recent spate of Alfred workflow posts, it’s time to share my most complex workflow to date, and it is for one of my favourite applications, Drafts. As you might know I do quite a lot with Drafts, and I’m really excited to share what I’ve come up with as a 1.0 workflow. It might be a bit more than you expect, and it is certainly far more than I had expected!

23 Mar 2021
If you speak to anyone who more than dabbles in automation on macOS, Keyboard Maestro is almost certainly going to be a utility that gets mentioned. I’m certainly no stranger to the application and have been using it for over a decade to manage a large proportion of my Mac automations. But when you invest like that, you do tend to build up a large set of macros and having memorable ways to access them with short codes, hot keys, gestures, palettes, etc. can become a little overwhelming. I’m personally much better at remembering parts of the names and so searching an index of the available macros helps me with the ones I don’t have in regular circulation, and that’s what today’s Alfred workflow enables.

22 Mar 2021
Recently I’ve been working on smartening up some of my personal workflows for Alfred, the launcher application for macOS. I’ve been a long time user of Alfred and while I created a popular workflow for working with Evernote back in it’s early days, I’ve not posted something about Alfred for the best part of a decade. This seems ridiculous to me given how often I use it and how embedded it is in so much of the way I work on my Mac.
The time is long overdue to put change that and I have several workflows to share in the not too distant future. Today, I’ll be starting off with one of my simpler workflows, but one that I use regularly. It is one to control the Mac app known as Amphetamine.

This is a brief post that addresses an obstacle I find myself coming across quite frequently when I’m working with images on my Mac. While I use several image manipulation apps for various purposes and levels of work, Pixelmator Pro is my daily driver. One thing I find overly complex however is getting a clipboard image into the app as a new image. There’s just a couple two many manual navigation bits that in many other apps is a simple key press. But there’s a simple solution.

Alfred Evernote Search
If you haven’t heard yet, Alfred 2 is out. The new version introduces workflows to the Powerpack, which I’m quickly finding to be indispensable. I’ve created a workflow for adding a single to-do or a to-do list to Evernote. It works by typing “todo” then the text you want to follow a checkbox. You can also append tags with a “#” (each tag gets one, this allows for tags with spaces). To create a to-do list, type “todos” followed by the list title (optional) then mark off each to-do with a “*”. Tags work here as well.
If you’re not already using checkboxes in Evernote, you’re doing it wrong. They’re searchable, so as you’re taking notes just drop in checkboxes next to your actionable items. Later you can search for unchecked checkboxes to build your to-do list. If you’re big on the GTD approach (as I am) you can include tags for context (i.e. at work, at home, calls, etc.). There will be more from me re: Evernote and GTD, so stay tuned.
