Overview

Your vault grows with everything you share with Alfred. Here’s how to explore it — from your dashboard or via the API.

Dashboard vault browser

Your Alfred Black dashboard includes a vault browser where you can:
  • Filter by type — Use the dropdown to show only people, tasks, decisions, or any other record type
  • Search by keyword — Find records matching a search term
  • Click to view — Open any record to see its full content and connections
