A Python helper library for authors of Alfred 2/3/4 workflows on macOS. It handles feedback JSON generation, fuzzy filtering, caching, settings, Keychain storage, HTTP requests, background tasks, notifications, and self-updating via GitHub releases.
Use cases
- write an Alfred workflow in Python
- generate Alfred Script Filter JSON feedback
- add fuzzy search filtering to an Alfred workflow
- cache API responses in an Alfred workflow
- store API keys securely in the macOS Keychain
- make an Alfred workflow self-update from GitHub releases
- run background tasks from an Alfred workflow
When to choose
- you are building a workflow for Alfred 2, 3, or 4 in Python
- you want caching, settings, Keychain, and feedback generation out of the box
- you need Alfred-like fuzzy matching with diacritic folding
When to avoid
- you target Alfred 5 or newer features
- you write workflows in another language like Go or Swift
- you need Python 3 support - the library targets the system Python 2.7
