Alfred KAT

GitHub Release Build Status Quality Score Code Coverage GitHub Downloads


WHAT IS THAT

Get your KAT torrents without all the advertising crap. Type "kat" followed by what you're looking for, wait a bit (it's quick), choose your torrent and make some space on your HD.

Now you can also use #tags.

Now you can also sort ^seeders.

MANDATORY SCREENSHOT

Beautiful Video

WHY IS THAT

There's a KAT workflow already on packal.org, but it doesn't work for me (SSL error). I contacted the author but got no answer, so I built this one. If the other one on Packal works it might be better to use it, it might have more options, or maybe not, I don't know, la la la la la.

SETUP

NO SETUP! But the KAT URL is an Alfred workflow variable so you can replace it with a mirror in case the main site is down.

PRO USERS

The workflow opens the magnet with the magnet default application of your Mac. If you prefer using a command-line client, you can add a cli variable in the Workflow Environment Variables. The value should be the full path to your torrent client with a {magnet} variable that will be replaced by the selected magnet (e.g. /usr/local/bin/transmission-remote -a {magnet}).

You can also copy the magnet to the clipboard rather than opening it (and starting the download) by using the ⌘ modifier.

HUH WASNT THIS WRITTEN IN PHP B4?

Totally. But Apple is getting rid of interpreters in macOS. That means that to use this Workflow I would have to ask you to install PHP. And probably some specific version. And probably in some specific place. That Sucks™. So it's now written in Swift.

PHP version is still available here: https://github.com/godbout/alfred-kat. It will be missed. Source code was beautiful. (The last comment might be due to delusion of grandeur.)

BUT YOU LOST ALL YOUR DOWNLOADS COUNT LMAO

WHO GIVES A SHIT.
