Could this be a plugin for Alfred? https://www.alfredapp.com/





I took a look at Alfred Workflows when we were first starting to build this a few months back but couldn't figure out a way to implement the local crawling and indexing functionality esp. for online services. The alternative would have been indexing and storing data on the cloud but we wanted to prioritize privacy. We wouldn't use a service which crawled our personal data and stored it in the cloud so it didn't seem fair to ask anyone else to do so!

IMO this is your business model. Build an Alfred clone that is AI first. It has a potential to be a nice lifestyle business.

Mac users still buy software and I’ve wanted to buy something like this for years.


I'd be okay with installing both and just having a callout to the program via alfred :). It'd be a useful way to trial. Totally understand if not worth it though, looking forward to seeing this grow!
