Alfred Extensions to create new reminders or notes

OS X Mountain Lion ships with two new apps, Reminders and Notes, which are basically OS X counterparts of the standard iOS apps with the same names. One nice thing about these new apps is that they are scriptable.

This means that I was able to create two simple AppleScripts and thus an Alfred extensions to make a new reminder in the default list and to make a new note in the default folder.

You can view the sources of the AppleScripts below.

Examples

Given #f7dd37, this workflow will generate a line like this [UIColor colorWithRed:247.0 / 255.0 green:221.0 / 255.0 blue:55.0 / 255.0 alpha:1.0] and paste it into the frontmost application.

This also works as a short and out-of-the-box alternative:

DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5.0 ) { /* */ }
