Is there a way to exclude certain apps from showing in the spotlight/alfred results
If you go to System Preferences &gt; Spotlight &gt; Privacy and click the [+] button to add an application they are grayed out and cannot be added in this method.
However, you can, instead of clicking the [+] button, simply drag and drop the application(s) from Finder onto the list area of the Privacy tab to have it removed from Spotlight searches.
