This workflow can list documents and apps opened recently.
Especially, it can list files opened recently by the foremost app.
System: macOS 10.11+
No test for 10.11
You can press Enter
to open the file in result, or press ⌘CMD-Enter
to reveal it in Finder.
For example:
- Recent folders will be listed when Finder is foremost.
- Recent rtf, text files will be listed when TextEdit app is foremost.
- Recent *.sketch files will be listed when Sketch app is foremost.
- Recent *.xcodeproj project files will be listed when Xcode app is foremost.
The subtitle of each result consists of ⏱modified time and 📡path of the file.
Opening recent folders is very common in use. Tapping rf
is a more efficient way, even though you can activate Finder and then tap rr
.
These files were recently opened by user, not like rr
which is just for the foremost app.
You can add private folder pathes separated by colon :
to the Workflow Environment Variable ExcludedFolders
. The results will not show private folders and any files inside them.
For example: ~/privateFolder1/:/Users/G/privateFolder2/
