Alfy is a Node.js framework for building Alfred workflows on macOS with simple input/output handling. It bundles caching, config handling, update notifications, and testability helpers so workflow authors only write their logic.

Use cases

  • create an Alfred workflow in Node.js
  • build a launcher command that searches an API and shows results
  • add caching to Alfred script filters
  • publish an Alfred workflow to npm
  • show update notifications for my Alfred workflow
  • test an Alfred workflow script

When to choose

  • you build Alfred workflows in JavaScript/Node.js
  • you want built-in caching, config, and update notifications
  • you want easily testable workflow scripts

When to avoid

  • you use a different launcher like Raycast or Spotlight
  • you don't have Alfred Powerpack
  • you write workflows in another language without Node.js
