Alfred 5 Powerpack 5.7.3 Overview

Alfred is a productivity application for macOS. Alfred lives on top of the OS and offers a hotkey driven search bar for launching apps, opening files, searching the web and controlling your Mac without the mouse. The base app is free and covers fast app and file search from the keyboard; the Powerpack is a paid license that unlocks Alfred's more advanced capabilities — custom workflows, clipboard history, snippet expansion, file actions, and related power-user features. Version 5.7.3 (Build 2320) April 1, 2026 A small maintenance release on the Alfred 5 line, focused on compatibility-oriented changes rather than major new features. It comes after Alfred 5.7 (September 2025) focused on preparing for macOS Tahoe and overhauling built-in System Settings search, and 5.7.2 (December 2025) which tweaked File Search fallback ranking following changes to the metadata index. In 2022, Alfred 5 was launched with a rebuilt Workflow Editor for better performance and accessibility, Automation Tasks with macOS Shortcuts integration, better universal search, and rich workflow views like Text View and Grid View – all Powerpack-only features. Alfred requires macOS 10.14 or above.

Key Features

Search Bar Hotkey With a customizable hotkey, you can instantly summon Alfred to launch apps, open files and perform web searches right from the keyboard, without having to switch focus to Finder or a browser. Powerpack: Visual Workflows Combine commands, scripts, and actions into visual workflows to automate repetitive multi-step tasks and run complex sequences with a single trigger. Rework Workflow Editor Alfred 5's Workflow Editor was rebuilt from the ground up for higher performance, adding keyboard shortcuts, new mouse interactions, a customizable and searchable object palette, and VoiceOver accessibility for building and editing workflows. Powerpack: Clipboard History Includes a searchable history of text and image clipboard entries so you can paste something you copied earlier without having to re-copy it. Snippet Auto-Expansion (Powerpack) Define text snippets that automatically expand into longer blocks of text as you type, speeding up repetitive typing tasks like email templates or code boilerplate. Deep File Actions Browse, preview, and take action on files directly from Alfred's results — moving, renaming, tagging, or opening them — all without leaving the keyboard-driven interface. Custom Search Integrations and Scopes Configure custom web and file search scopes, integrate with Contacts, run Terminal commands and scripts, and search 1Password bookmarks directly through Alfred. Settings Sync Sync Alfred's settings and configuration across multiple Macs using cloud services like Dropbox, keeping workflows and preferences consistent on every machine. Thousands of Community Workflows You can access a massive library of workflows created by the community that range anywhere from controls for music services (like Spotify) to development tools, taking Alfred far beyond what it can do by itself. Alfred Remote for iOS Alfred Remote Turn your iPhone or iPad into a remote command center for your Mac with the companion Alfred Remote app, triggering Alfred actions from a mobile device.
