Sharing on the forum is the recommended way to get people to use your workflow and help you polish it by finding bugs and requesting features. Once a workflow is determined to be generally stable and trusted by a number of users, the Alfred team will invite you to submit it officially to the Alfred Gallery.
The strongest candidates follow the Style Guide, have keywords with three characters or more, allow for user configuration, and include icons which are at least 256×256px.
Workflows in the Gallery can have a single function or perform a set of related tasks. They can use no code or be programmed in any language, and they can satisfy a niche or interconnect popular services.
Workflows must respect user privacy and be safe. They can rely on external software but should never download and run it themselves after being installed or bypass macOS safety features like Gatekeeper. If they contain compiled binaries, they must be signed and notarised. The Alfred community expects to be able to audit a workflow’s contents.
Expressed as a list, to make your workflow ready for the Gallery (click each item to expand details):
pip install
, gem install
, brew install
, or curl
ing a binary. Bundling libraries with the workflow is accepted. Homebrew dependencies must be handled by Alfred.
