Capacities for Alfred

Capacities Pro

Capacities for Alfred is a workflow for the Alfred app on macOS. You can search your Capacities space and add notes from the keyboard, without opening Capacities first.

Community integrations are not part of the official Capacities product. We review and test all integrations and are in contact with their developers to ensure quality. However, we cannot guarantee performance and are not responsible for any issues that may arise from using them.

Capacities for Alfred is maintained by Tarık Gandur. The code is free to view and reuse on GitHub.

Set up Capacities for Alfred

You need the Alfred Powerpack to use workflows. The workflow also needs Python 3. If your Mac does not have it, open the Terminal app and run xcode-select --install.

  1. Download Capacities.alfredworkflow from the dist folder on GitHub.
  2. Open the downloaded file and click Import in Alfred.
  3. In Alfred, start the workflow's connection to Capacities. Your web browser opens.
  4. Sign in to Capacities if you are asked to, then choose the space you want to use.
  5. Approve the connection.

The workflow keeps your sign-in in the macOS Keychain. To disconnect it, go to Settings > Capacities API > Connections in Capacities.
