Now I could probably wire up DisplayPlace to run automatically when my mac sees a new monitor but I'm fine running it manually. Even something as simple as running a single command, I've got one that runs DisplayPlacer (and must-have if you have a multi-monitor setup that you connect/disconnect from).
Pretty much anything I find myself doing over and over, I'll create a little workflow to handle it. At it's core it's a very simple map of "Label" -> "Zoom Link" but it's a really nice QoL improvement over launching the app, selecting the room from my recent rooms, and then clicking "Join". Like I have one for Zoom that will show me a list of zoom rooms I regularly connect to (Daily Standup, my boss, my coworker, my Bad Movie Night group, etc).
That example is super-custom to me but I have other that are more general-use.
I play with different sets of mods depending on how I'm feeling and so I have a workflow that I type "Factorio", then select my "Launch Factorio" workflow from the list Alfred provides, then Alfred gives me a list of my mod packs, I select one, and it launches Factorio after symlinking the mods/saves into the right place. For example, I have a workflow for launching different versions+mods for a game I like (Factorio). I know that sounds vague but that's because it's so open-ended. You can do a number of cool things with Alfred like creating "workflows" to create your own little mini-programs to do various actions.
In fact when spotlight stepped up its game I was a little worried Alfred has been Sherlocked or that the developer might stop supporting it but thankfully that's not the case. If you are only looking to launch apps, do a few math calculations, and maybe search for files then Spotlight probably has you covered.
