It’s the same assistant everywhere

Start something in one place and pick it up in another. A draft you asked for by text can be reviewed in the web app; a routine you set up on the web sends its results by text. What you ask alfred_ to remember is remembered everywhere.

If your Mac gets your iPhone’s texts, you can also text alfred_ from Messages on your Mac.

What needs your OK, wherever you are

Reading and finding happen right away. Anything that sends, invites other people, or archives mail is shown to you first:

• On the web and in the iPhone app, a card shows exactly what will happen, with a button to confirm.
• By text, alfred_ texts you what it’s about to do and waits for “yes” or “send”.
• In Claude and ChatGPT, sends and invites are shown to you first, and writing is a separate permission you grant. You can allow specific actions to go ahead without a preview under Settings → Privacy → Actions without asking.

The exceptions are automations you set up yourself: an email rule that forwards mail, or a routine you’ve told to send without asking.

See Drafts and approvals for the details.
