This is super useful! Thank you for making it. /installed

Thank you too. I am currently working on Text Substitution performance. Please check back soon.

The email extractor is super useful. I wrote a command-line script for doing this, but will probably start using this instead.

Automator is the most useful, powerful and underrated feature of OSX. It makes me sad how almost nobody talks about it.

One reason I don't like Automator so much is that it forces me think where to save the workflows I create. Automator has a very iTunes-like interface and I would expect that it takes care of organizing the created workflows. Actually, I think the Workflow app for iOS has nailed this down perfectly (together with integration of the workflows with the rest of the system).

You may go to Script / Applescript Editor Preferences and check "Show Script menu in menu bar". This way you can have scripts organized in folders and available through the menu bar. Console apps / Shell scripts supported as well and run in the background. I believe you can create a symbolic link to have them indexed by Spotlight as well.

That and the related automation scripts. I would have thought that now that they introduced Javascript for Automation (similar to Applescript), it would be a lot more popular and would spur a lot of interest in creating workflows.

So far, I've not seen anything. I do use javascript for automation myself. A useful "trick" is to write Javascript using Script Editor, save the script as a .app file and place it in /Applications or similar and have Spotlight execute that Script. I've done things like Empty Trash, Lock Screen, launching a new Swift Playground (too many steps to do that with Xcode alone), quitting all foreground apps, etc. Almost makes Spotlight act like Alfred or Quicksilver.

I would really like to see what other people can come up.

I do the same!

I have "dock" and "undock" apps for switching between mobile, and, ekhem, docked state for my macbook (switching wifi, turning bluetooth on/off, unomounting USB drive, etc).

I also have "move tabs to chrome", because I use safari for everyday and chrome for dev, and sometimes I start something in safari and it turns out it should be in chrome.

Also "Chrome Incognito" for quick incognito sessions (cmd-space, "incognito", enter). Very useful!

Oh nice tip on the Incognito mode ;). I wonder if Safari has a flag like that too.

Nice work. I use this automator for pretty printing JSON.

  import json
  import sys

  text = sys.stdin.read()
  try:
      print json.dumps(json.loads(text), sort_keys=False, indent=4)
  except Exception as e:
      print e
