Lipsum Alfred

This is a collection of snippets for Alfred (an application launcher and productivity software for Mac) that generates Lorem Ipsum dummy text. It’s useful when you are working on a design and you need to quickly generate random text.

It doesn’t randomize the text like some other workflows do, but there aren’t install dependencies and that can be useful if you are using a computer with a strict security policy (like my work laptop).

Here’s how you use it

1. Launch Alfred’s snippets search bar (type snip or use the hotkey ⌥⌘S).
2. If you want to insert paragraphs, type >p and the number of paragraphs (up to 5).
3. If you want to insert sentences, type >s and the number of sentences (up to 9).
4. If you want to insert words, type >w and the number of words (up to 9).
