This is another one of those "to all my Twitter followers" posts. Due to external factors I plan to reduce my posting here on Twitter as I focus my update efforts elsewhere.

Just finished my monthly write up of what I got up to in December. A few blog posts, some forum answers, and a bit of other stuff too. Find out more at buymeacoffee.com/sylumer/dec…
Following on from my Shortcuts and @obsdmd post from yesterday, I also took the opportunity to outline the equivalent approaches with @draftsapp too.

Yesterday I put up a walk through post about a couple of options for creating new @obsdmd notes from Apple #Shortcuts.

A little later than originally advertised, but early access to the Alfred workflow gallery has arrived. Just note when it says navigate to ‘alfred.app’, that’s the website and not the local .app for Alfred.
The Alfred Gallery is now in Early Access!
Update to Alfred 5.0.6 and visit alfred.app to start browsing the Gallery. 😊

A recently released SnippetsLab beta has allowed me to link my code snippets to locations (like documentation in @obsdmd that describes a script/app/etc.) using @hookmarkapp. A great addition for my 'automation documentation' workflow.

A bit of advice on searching your Johnny Decimal indexed @obsdmd vault.

Congrats on being put forward as a nominee. 🎉
Honored to be included with such a great group of apps! Thanks to @ClubMacStories members for their support!
I *think* I have now finished the updates (changes, tests, docs) for my most popular @alfredapp workflows for gallery submission.
If you use Bypass, Conductor, Doctor Drafts, Dose, or Slink, you can download updates now.
All workflow links available at thoughtasylum.com/alfred/
I managed to spend a bit of time this morning adding a new integration for @hookmarkapp based on a feature request I made for an app beta I’m using. It will make a nice addition to my automation documentation workflow. I’ll share all the details when I have a bit more time 🤓
For anyone interested in what I’ve been up to this past month, my October 2022 activity summary is now available.

A last minute rush, but we made it into #York on time to see @DaveGorman. Who would have thought I'd be looking forward to more PowerPoint slides? 🤣
Just finished submitting five of my most popular @alfredapp workflows for consideration for the new Alfred Gallery that’s launching soon. Hopefully, it will help other people find them and get the benefits others have been enjoying.

Small update to Dose (the @alfredapp workflow for controlling the Amphetamine app) is also out today. Hopefully it resolves a local/time related issue in ‘awake until’ calls.

Version 1.9 of Doctor Drafts, my @alfredapp workflow for @draftsapp is out now. A bit of a housekeeping release before I start dabbling with some more complicated ideas I have for it.

As requested by @AlwinSamson I’ve updated my @alfredapp workflow, Dose. It controls the Amphetamine app to keep your Mac awake. It now supports specifying a specific time to stay awake until. Plus I’ve created a new page documenting Dose’s features. Enjoy!
