# Chirp Powerpack Theme Collection for Alfred

[![Chirp](./assets/chirp.jpg)](https://twitter.com/DerritDeRouen/status/1354548649561186306)

This is a collection of 18 [Alfred Powerpack Themes](https://www.alfredapp.com/help/appearance/) inspired by Twitter's [custom typeface Chirp](https://twitter.com/DerritDeRouen/status/1354548649561186306) and its [customizable view options](https://twitter.com/i/display).

[**Download Themes**](https://github.com/chrismessina/alfred-theme-chirp/releases/latest)

## Installation

This theme uses the Chirp font, which is not available for public distribution. If you happen to work for Twitter and have a license, you can use the themes in the "Chirp" folder.

Alternatively, since Chirp is just a custom version of Grilli Type's [GT America](https://www.grillitype.com/typeface/gt-america), you can [purchase GT America Standard Light and Bold weights](https://www.grillitype.com/cart?id=OA6uSY5E) and achieve a similar look. Once purchased, install those fonts, and then install the themes in the "GT America" folder.

You can either double-click each `.alfredappearance` file to install it or use [@vitor](https://github.com/vitorgalvao)'s [Batch Theme Importer Workflow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vitorgalvao/requested-alfred-workflows/master/Workflows/Batch%20Import%20Themes.alfredworkflow) to import them all at once.
