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
