This is a workflow for anyone who uses Keyboard Maestro and wishes it had built-in Alfred support. In Alfred simply type km followed by the name of any of your KM macros.

Alfred 2 (w/ Powerpack) and Keyboard Maestro 6.3 or greater. If you don't have them, go get them immediately. You will not regret it.

• Alfred 2 (Free, but requires £17 Powerpack)
• Keyboard Maestro (Free to try. $36/license)

Both well worth the cost.

Download the file directly or clone this repo, then double-click the "AlfredMaestro.alfredworkflow" file to install.

Type km followed by the name of any of your defined macros.

I also wrote a blog post on how I personally use this workflow for anyone who's interested: Integrating Alfred and Keyboard Maestro

Thanks to Peter Lewis of Stairways Software, the creator of Keyboard Maestro for adding a feature to KM that greatly increased the power of this workflow. Now Alfred can launch any of your macros, not just the ones with a hotkey!

Everything should still work fine if you are using Keyboard Maestro 7.0, but I haven't done any testing with it. If you are using KM 7.0 and have any issues don't hesitate to open an issue.

Important: If you have macros that you only want to run in certain applications read this.

If you create a macro group that is not set to run in all applications you will need to make sure it is set to run in Alfred 2 in addition to whatever application you want it to run in. See issue 5 for details.

This should run successfully with PHP 5.3 and above, which is standard on most macs. I think newer macs actually ship with 5.4. If you are getting empty results within Alfred then you may have an issue with an outdated version of PHP.

To figure out what version of PHP you are running you can try the following command in the Terminal: php -v. You can also run which php to see which binary is being used for the command line and where it's located.

If you are having trouble, feel free to open an issue. I try to check up on it regularly. Alternatively, ping me on Twitter: @ian_989
