You might think that both Spotlight and Alfred can open files so what's the big deal, but there is a difference between the two.
You type an app name, it searches your computer, and then you can open the app.
I think it's worth going over them so you get a general sense of the bare minimum you can achieve with it. There are a number of basic commands that Alfred has that Spotlight can also do.
Alfred for mac review movie#
(btw Wall-E is the best Pixar movie ever made don't me) Basics of Alfred If Alfred and Spotlight were both cartoon characters, Spotlight would be something you see on Cartoon Network whereas Alfred would be made by Pixar. In essence, Alfred can do everything that Spotlight can do but then some. Spotlight is what you get when you press CMD + Space Bar and it brings up that bar where you can search for an app or a file and open it. The best way to describe Alfred is that it is a suped-up version of the Spotlight feature on your Mac. Given that this is the state of the world right now (though maybe that should change and we should hang out in nature more), we might as well figure out ways to make our computer usage more efficient, right? Enter Alfred. You are spending 2.5 hours on your computer each day (not including other screens) which means that 912.5 hours or about 38 days of your life will be spent in front of that screen each year. We interact with our computers for almost 2.5 hours a day.
