Alfred Workflow for doing
March 16, 2014 ยท View on GitHub
Please read the project page for doing by Brett Terpstra. He's a LaunchBar user and suggested that someone could whip up an Alfred Workflow, so I did. This is a straight port of his LaunchBar script that allows either the simple adding of a new item or asking what are the recent items. Much more is available via the CLI, and could be added later, but let's start with this.
How to use
- Follow his instructions (tl;dr:
gem install doing) - Install this Workflow
- Type
doing ?to get a Large Type display of your recent items. Identical to runningdoing recent. Hold Command to get the list from the Later list. Identitcal to runningdoing show later. - Type
doing "new item to do"to add "new item to do" to your current list. Identical to runningdoing now "new item to do". Hold Command to send it to the Later List, identical to runningdoing later "item to do".
How to make sure Alfred's query window is dismissed after running doing ?
After you run doing ?, you may notice Alfred's window is still hanging around, to fix that change this:

Hat tip to Sam Kimbrel for that, along with the way to get Alfred's Large Type to be scriptable.
