Switching (back) to alfred and creating my resizer workflow

I’ve been using Raycast for the past few months and it is a seriously impressive and accessible piece of software who’s coming to the Mac and wants more power for the first time. I also think that their ability to bring so much functionality so quickly into the base, free app is impressive.

Hyperkey support and window management are two of my most used workflows that I will certainly miss when moving back to alfred.

However, I always felt like there was something missing with raycast that I get from alfred. I worry this is a sign of getting old – some level of inflexibility – to embrace the new. However, whether rationalized or not, alfred feels “far more “native” to me.”right” to me. It also artfully models the way I think about workflows in my brain.

That said, I really really wish Alfred would natively support hyperkey for capslock. It’s such a useful addition to raycast. I am going to test if I can live without a hyperkey application for a bit. To be clear, I was using the excellent (and free) hyperkey app for what raycast built into itself just a few weeks ago.

For window management, I used to use div – an alfred workflow – that continues to still work delightfully well for my purposes. In fact, I often find that it even works pretty well on certain windows that raycast could never get to the right size – I am looking at you Whatsapp.

That said, I found it easier to just create a new workflow of my own that resizes windows just as well, if not better, than raycast did.

This really only leaves in-built hyperkey support for alfred. I wish the developers would build that in. Either ways, back to Alfred everywhere.
