Script Debugger is an integrated development environment for AppleScript, the macOS automation and scripting language. It provides a dictionary explorer that shows scriptable applications' capabilities, a powerful code editor with AppleScript-specific features, step-wise debugging with variable inspection and breakpoints, and tools for packaging scripts as standalone applications with code-signing and notarization support. It is widely used by system administrators, IT professionals, and Mac power users who need to automate repetitive tasks or create reusable automation workflows. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionScript Debugger 8 ships as a native Apple Silicon build and has done so since its release in May 2021. You can update to the native build directly from the vendor's website at latenightsw.com — the standard download page automatically serves the Universal Binary that runs natively on M-series Macs. Simply visit the website, download the current version, and install it; your existing scripts, preferences, and settings will carry over without any migration steps. After updating to the native build, you will see noticeably better performance and improved battery life compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta 2.
