JetBrains: Open project

Alfred5 workflow to easily open your projects with your favorite JetBrains product.

Requirements

You need Node.js LTS and Alfred 5.7+ with the paid Powerpack upgrade.

This workflow need one of JetBrains products (2019.1+), and its shell script to works

About issues

It's my daily tool, so I will fix issue that I can reproduce with my environment, which is

• macOS 26.1
• Alfred 5.7 (latest available)
• at least Node 22, but not really important, node is only required to install this workflow

Please check the troubleshooting guide first, and other issues. And please follow the issue template for bug report 🙏

Installation / Update

npm install -g @bchatard/alfred-jetbrains

or download binary from alfred-jetbrains-cli releases page

# Since the bin is not (yet) signed
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./alfred_jetbrains_cli
chmod +x ./alfred_jetbrains_cli
./alfred_jetbrains_cli install

(new process to remove Node dependency, it might not work for all cases)
