mySIMBL For Mac

mySIMBL is an SIMBL plugins manager designed to replace the EasySIMBL application that is no longer supported on more recent OS X versions. The utility offers you the possibility to download, install, and update SIMBL bundles with ease.

For your convenience, if mySIMBL detects that you don’t have SIMBL installed on your computer, it will offer to take care of the task automatically, as long as you are able to provide the administrator password.

However, if you are running mySIMBL on an OS X version that comes with System Integrity Protection, you will have to disable it in order to be able to use the application.

You can see instructions on how to disable the OS X SIP in the mySIMBL main window: read them carefully and keep in mind that you need to restart your computer and work with the command line.

Once everything is set, all the currently installed SIMBL plug-ins will be displayed in the mySIMBL main window. Note that you can drag and drop SIMBL bundles on top of the application to install them, or you can connect to multiple repositories.

Working with repositories is great because you get to download, install and update your SIMBL plug-ins with just a few mouse clicks.

Additional management tools include the possibility to delete the plug-ins, to show the bundles in a Finder window, to move the resource files between various locations, or to access the plug-in's developer page if available.

To sum up, working with mySIMBL can significantly streamline the way in which you get to download, deploy and stay up to date with the latest releases for your SIMBL plug-ins collection.

mySIMBL can automatically install SIMBL if necessary, yet on some of the most recent OS X releases, you might have to manually disable the System Integrity Protection function.

You get instructions on how to perform this task in the mySIMBL main window, yet this makes for a slightly more complicated installation procedure.
