Review Alfred?

Reviewers mostly describe Alfred as an essential Mac utility that replaces Spotlight with faster search and broader keyboard-driven control. They repeatedly praise shortcuts, snippets, clipboard history, workflows, app and web search, and quick setup of small automations, saying it becomes one of the first apps they install and hard to live without. A maker of Apparent for Gmail says they use it every day, but notes one small annoyance: calculator results can disappear instead of opening in Apple’s Calculator.

I'd find macOS unbearable without Alfred. It's easy to forget what "clean" macOS was like, because they've been shipping features that replace or complement what was a separate app, back in the day. I use this instead of Spotlight. I use it with a Pomodoro timer script that someone wrote and I just grabbed in <5m. I use it for all my keyboard shortcuts, because it's much faster than cmd+tabbing or anything similar. I use it for expansions for boilerplate code and LaTeX. I'm sure there are other, fancier features, but I don't use those. Alfred 4 was worth the money. The upgrade to 5 wasn't super worth it for me, but I did so to support the creators anyway.
