Info

Fill out this information if it's not already included in the error text.

  • macOS version: Sonoma
  • CPU: Intel or Apple (M1)? Intel
  • Alfred version: 5
  • Workflow version: latest
  • In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy, there are checkmarks for Accessibility > Alfred 4, Full Disk Access > Alfred 4, Automation > Alfred 4 > Notes, and Automation > Alfred 4 > System Events?
  • What type of account are your notes stored in (iCloud/On My Mac/Email)?
  • If the workflow can't manage to show a list of your notes, verify that the search_notes executable file is present by right-clicking the "Search Notes" workflow in the workflow list of Alfred Preferences, choosing "Open in Finder" and opening the search_notes folder. Is there a file of the same name inside that folder?
  • If no error notification appears automatically, what is the output of the debug log when you reproduce the problem?

You may need to disable/re-enable full disk access for Alfred: https://github.com/sballin/alfred-search-notes-app#required-permissions (worked in this thread: #68 (comment))
