Turning Alfred Remote Server on/off

[politicus]

Alfred remote server launches automatically when Alfred launches.

 

I do not use Alfred Remote Server everyday + Looks like Alfred Remote Server increases iPhone/iPad battery consumption substantially.

 

So, is there one (hidden?) command (just like the" Quit" command to quit applications) that would let me turn Alfred Remote Server off/on without opening Alfred Preferences?

Hi there,

 

There isn't a command in Alfred to start and stop the remote server, but I think this is a good opportunity to reassure you that having the server running won't impact battery life.

 

Alfred Remote Server does nothing at idle. Any activations are interrupt or notification based, so it will happy sit using 0% CPU until it's needed. Therefore, alongside other idle default OS X services which are waiting for network connections, having Alfred Remote Server running when you aren't using it won't use any additional battery on your Mac Laptop.

 

When it comes to your iOS device, I have specifically engineered Alfred Remote on iOS to disconnect from the server when the app isn't visible on your iOS device. At this point, Alfred Remote yields to iOS and is placed into an inactive state. So again, this won't be using any additional battery.

 

Cheers,

Andrew

@Andrew Thanks for the explanation. Will turn Alfred Remote Server on again
