Craft is a smooth, beautiful, and well-thought-out note-taking/knowledge-management app.

Here's how I've set up shortcuts/workflows for

• opening Craft's daily note using Alfred.
• quick entry into Craft's daily note (at the end) using Alfred or via the keyboard shortcut, ⌘⇧L (L for log).
• passing a search input term to Craft from Alfred.
• creating a new titled document via Alfred.
