I started a new job that requires a much more locked-down laptop than I'm used to. No macOS App Store, no random 3rd party apps. I miss a lot of the convince apps I used to use HOWEVER we have unlimited access to Claude CLI. I've been able to mostly one-shot working replacements for Alfred and a meeting reminder app called `In Your Face`.

My own Alfred replacement is actually better for me, it's tailored to exactly how I want to use an app launcher / shortcut tool.

What type of Alfred functionality did you use. I entertained doing the same thing.
URL-opener, bookmark opener, URL expander (type JIRA-1234 and it’ll automatically open the correct ticket), basic text replacement stuff.
