Why has this ridiculous thing only been updated twice since it was first released 10+ years ago?
Especially given how much Alfred for Mac still promotes it, links to it, and continues to include it in new work flows. The current version isn’t even designed for the current version of Alfred (5.5)! Its last update was 3 years ago and designed for Alfred 4. I wonder how many potential customers of Alfred for Mac were turned off when they saw this bizarre app. I was put off from anything Alfred for years - when I first heard of Alfred I looked it up on my phone to see what the internet had to say about it, and this iOs Alfred app showed up for me to click before even any search engine results. I was just as embarrassed for Alfred then than I am know. Only difference is that I forgot about the remote app for so many years that I did actually eventually get the Mac version. So now I’m embarrassed on behalf of both the team AND myself.

Don’t buy
App is unreliable. It allowed me to connect and hasn’t allowed me to connect since. Don’t waste your money.
