What is TemporaryEmail?
Alfred Workflows is a deprecated collection of automation scripts and helpers for the Alfred macOS productivity app. It provided various workflows to extend Alfred's functionality, such as checking app versions, managing templates, and downloading media. The repository now serves as a historical archive, with active workflows published individually to the Alfred Gallery.
Alfred users on macOS looking for automation workflows or historical examples of Alfred scripting, particularly those interested in deprecated or experimental tools.
It offers a curated set of workflows from an Alfred team member, providing reliable examples and utilities, though users are now directed to the official Alfred Gallery for maintained versions and new releases.
