Info

Fill out this information if it's not already included in the error text.

• macOS version: 11.5.1

• CPU: M1

• Alfred version: 4.5.1 [1256]

• Workflow version: 3.5.0, 3.4.1

• In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy, there are checkmarks for Accessibility > Alfred 4, Full Disk Access > Alfred 4, Automation > Alfred 4 > Notes, and Automation > Alfred 4 > System Events?

  Looks like System Events might be the culprit:

  

• What type of account are your notes stored in (iCloud/On My Mac/Email)? iCloud

• If the workflow can't manage to show a list of your notes, verify that the search_notes executable file is present by right-clicking the "Search Notes" workflow in the workflow list of Alfred Preferences, choosing "Open in Finder" and opening the search_notes folder. Is there a file of the same name inside that folder? Yes

• If no error notification appears automatically, what is the output of the debug log when you reproduce the problem?

Fixed by restarting Alfred. Sorry to bother @sballin and thanks for a great workflow!
