Create Emacsclient.app using AppleScript

Open Automator and go to File->New. Click on Application.

Then search for 'Run AppleScript' and drag it to the window on the right.

Copy paste the following gist to the window

on run {input}
  try
    set emacs_client_path to "usr/local/bin/"
    set pathtofile to quoted form of POSIX path of input

    set frameVisible to do shell script emacs_client_path & "emacsclient -e '(<= 2 (length (visible-frame-list)))'"
    if frameVisible is "t" then
      do shell script emacs_client_path & "emacsclient -n " & pathtofile
    else
      -- there is a not a visible frame, launch one
      do shell script emacs_client_path & "emacsclient -c -n " & pathtofile
    end if

  on error
    set emacs_client_path to "usr/local/bin/"
    do shell script emacs_client_path & "emacsclient -c -n "
  end try

  -- bring the visible frame to the front
  tell application "Emacs" to activate

end run

Save the application in /Applications or /Users/$USER/Applications. Now you can quickly open emacsclient from Alfred.
