 ==== Alfred ==== ==== Alfred ====
 +Ever though 'I wonder how I can be more efficent with my mac' and cmd-space's spotlight is not cutting it anymore... then Alfred 4 is the mac app for you.
 +Made for people who are at home on the *home rows* of the keyboard, a master of Alfred never (well almost never) has to touch a mouse or trackpad again.
 +
 +Alfred is a more effective search tool and what Apple's spotlight search wishes it could be. Through the use of hot keys, key commands and shortcuts you can and I quote //jump in and take action without lifting your fingers off the keyboard.// From navigating your endless collection of uni files and mic plots to controling your *home office DJ hits* from your keyboard, alfred is sure to make a positive impact on your productivity.
 +The powerpack (alfred's paid upgrade) enables you to create custom workflows and shortcuts which enable you to fully take control of you keyboard hotkeys and shortcuts as welog l as for the design conscious tech customise the themes and fonts of your searchbar so you can finally achive the perfect all black performance ready mac desktop of your dreams
 +
 +There are two price points:
 +  * The £29 Single License will get you the current version's powerpack, however this is without any updates
 +  * Whereas the £49 Mega Supporter will get you the powerpack and "free" lifetime upgrades
 +
 +However, unless you really want to make the most of alfred, I don't think you need to be in any rush to upgrade (unless your just wanting a way to splash your bday money!) as the free version is such a significant upgrade over apple's native spotlight search already!
