Alfred AppScripts Workflow

List, search and run/open AppleScripts for the active application. You can also specify directories that contain scripts that will always be shown, regardless of the active application.

Download

Note: Version 3.0 and above are not compatible with Alfred 2.

The workflow can be downloaded from GitHub releases or from Packal.

Usage

• .as [<query>] — Show/search list of AppleScripts for the active application
  • ↩ — Run the selected script.
  • ⌘+↩ — Open the selected script in Script Editor.
  • ⌥+↩ — Reveal the selected script in Finder.
• appscripts [<query>] — Show workflow configuration.
  • Help – Open this file in your browser.
  • (No) Update Available — Whether or not the workflow can be updated. Action the item to update or force an update check.
  • Search Directories Recursively – Whether the script directories should be searched recursively. Use with some caution.
  • Edit Script Directories — Open the configuration file in your default editor. The file contains a detailed description of how it works.
  • Reset to Defaults — Delete configuration and cache files.

Where are these scripts?

The workflow comes with a default set of directories. These are defined in a settings file that you can edit yourself. Use the Edit Script Directories option in the configuration (keyword appscripts) to open the file in your editor.

These are the default directories. {app_name} will be replaced with the name of the currently active application, e.g. BBEdit or OmniFocus, and {bundle_id} with the application's bundle ID, e.g. com.barebones.bbedit or com.omnigroup.OmniFocus2:

• ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/{app_name}
• ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/{bundle_id}
• ~/Library/Application Scripts/{app_name}
• ~/Library/Application Scripts/{bundle_id}
• ~/Library/Application Support/{app_name}/Scripts
• ~/Library/Application Support/{bundle_id}/Scripts
• ~/Library/Containers/{bundle_id}/Data/Library/Application Support/{app_name}/Scripts

Any *.scpt, *.applescript, *.scptd (script bundle) or *.js (JXA) files found within the above directories will be shown.

If you add a directory path that doesn't contain {app_name} or {bundle_id}, it will match every application and the scripts will always be shown. See the settings file (AppScript Directories.txt) for more information.
