Initial description

To start writing scripts for this awesome tool I wanted to migrate an Alfred workflow I wrote (alfred-incognito-browser ). What I appreciate on this workflow is that it enhances the application launch feature of Alfred with the option to open your browser in incognito mode. Maybe launching an application could be a top level feature instead of being a single script?

I would love get some feedback. I know there is some room for improvements (eg. the Safari script).
