Script Debugger

The environment provides a macOS‑only integrated development environment dedicated to AppleScript, offering features such as dictionary exploration, step‑wise debugging, and code completion that are tailored to the language’s syntax. It includes split‑pane editing, code folding, tabbed windows, dark mode, and customizable text themes, as well as tools for inserting tell blocks and automatically handling delimiters, helping users navigate and edit large scripts efficiently.

During execution the debugger runs scripts in an analytical mode that tracks variable values, allows breakpoints, and displays data at each line, giving developers clear insight into script behavior and simplifying problem isolation. The Explorer remains active while debugging, showing application data and responses in real time.

For distribution, the tool checks for common packaging errors, can export scripts in a “run‑only” form to protect source code, and alerts users to required applications, scripting additions, libraries, and frameworks. These capabilities aim to streamline the creation, testing, and deployment of AppleScript automations on modern Mac hardware.
