I've thrown TextExpander out of the window thanks to the new snippet thing in Alfred 3.
Do the Alfred 2 powerpacks not work with Alfred 3? I googled alfred evernote and came across this workflow: https://www.alfredapp.com/blog/p... but it no work.
@chuckkahn Alfred 2 workflows will import into Alfred 3 perfectly fine, but some workflows like the Evernote one, require a little bit of extra love as Evernote stores data in different locations (depending on version and on whether you're using the App Store or direct download). Take a look at alfredforum.com if you need a hand getting up and running with it :)
I use Alfred since day one. This is one of the apps that I don't mind paying for an upgrade. Whenever a new Mac comes to my hands, it is the first app I install. I even install it on friends' Macs. Awesome!
So excited for the new release of Alfred! The new Workflow editor looks like it'll make programming your Mac to do your bidding so much better!
There's also new snippet expansion, multimedia clipboard, better theming and more.

@chrismessina Yeah, I've been using the beta and, sadly (for them), I think it might replace TextExpander
Super update, happy to have sent some more money over for v3. I can't imagine using a computer without Alfred anymore.
Been using it for a few days now, as I got in early due to my Lifetime Powerpack. Have only seen improvements so far.
This looks like an amazing release. The workflow editor looks great! I wonder if there are any plans for a directory or repository of pre-made workflows. Would definitely use 🙌
The introduction of snippets is enough for me, but the other features being added here are absolutely amazing.
Alfred is the bee's knees.. the cat's pajamas.. understand? Download it. Get the Powerpack. Do it. Do it now.
So pumped for this. I have had powerpack for a very long time. Can't wait for more!
@rrhoover not taking away from Alfred, but if you use OS X's built-in text replace, it carries over to your other devices. I add a / then whatever. So I can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and ﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿ all over the place
@ndyno @rrhoover I use them everywhere, from Facebook to Tweetbot to Snapchat to Day One to even Clash of Clans. The only app I use across desktop+mobile that blocks them is Slack, and since I start many of my own replacements with / I have a double-whammy against me there.
Edit: I should add that Chrome is one of the apps that doesn't play friendly with it, and Slack (desktop) is a wrapper of Electron which is based on Chromium, afaik.
Workflow is a killer feature. Also, you can configure Alfred to be called by double tapping one of the modifier keys. This is super convenient.
Pros:I've stopped using GUI for launching apps ot switching between them.
Cons:None
