I've been wanting to try the Alfred macOS app for quite some time now, to see what it's all about and how it compares to what I currently use, which is Raycast. So in this video my good friend Roman shows me how he uses Alfred and I compare it to the way I use raycast, in case you're interested in giving Alfred or Raycast a go, this video will be informative and help you understand both tools
