Alfred as a launcher it's free and way more efficient than spotlight. But just as the comment above, paid version is really nice and worth that price. Even deserve more. There is a website packal.org for workflows. It's amazing. Really miss fuzzy search on Gnome-shell or windows search.

I got the lifetime supporter pack for about 40 bucks and I've been using it for the last 6 years or so with free upgrades. Not a bad investment for something that you literally use almost every single day.

I've been using Alfred for probably 7 years or so, every single day, and I can't imagine not using it. Even if it had cost double what it does, I still think it's worth it.

tbh, ive been hoping that a paid launcher for windows would come along at some stage because all the current ones only half fit my needs and are probably going to stay that way for a while since they only developed in someones free time
