History[edit]
Script Debugger 6.0.6 – AppleScript authoring environment. Xversion 1.3.4 – Manage Subversion copies and repositories. BetterZip 4.2 (1435) – Archiving tool. The price of Script Debugger 6 has been reduced by 50% making it affordable to anyone interested in make the most out of AppleScript. Be Ambitious Script Debugger’s code folding, split panes, tabbed windows, code writers and debugging make large projects manageable. Script Debugger provides everything you need to quickly and easily author AppleScripts that work. No other scripting tool can match Script Debugger’s capabilities for creating, editing and debugging AppleScripts. Its sophisticated Dictionary browser provides far more information than any other tool can and eliminates guesswork and needless experimentation.
Script Debugger is a more advanced AppleScript environment that allows the script writer to debug AppleScripts via single stepping, breakpoints, stepping in and out of functions/subroutines, variable tracking, etc. Script Debugger also contains an advanced dictionary browser that allows the user to see the dictionary in action in real world.

Script Debugger version 1.0 was released in 1995 by Mark Alldritt as a third-party alternative to Apple's freeware application, Script Editor. Its competitors at that time included ScriptWizard and Main Event Software's popular Scripter. These two products today are defunct, leaving only Satimage's Smile and integrated development environments such as FaceSpan (also from Late Night) and AppleScript Studio as Script Debugger's current competitors in the field.
From version 1 on the program contained several notable features: it was 'scriptable,' (it could be used to create scripts to control itself), recordable, (it could create scripts based on user actions), and attachable, (scripts could be written to respond to events). More importantly, Script Debugger now allowed inspection of running applications to see what events they were emitting. True to its name, the new utility also contained a full debugger, with support for breakpoints.
Script Debugger has since won many awards in the Macintosh scripting community. Version 1 received '5 mice' from MacUser and 4 stars from MacWEEK. Version 2 received the 2000 Macworld Eddy for 'Best Development Software', and received '4.5 mice' from both MacUser and Macworld.
On February 9, 2006, version 4 of Script Debugger was released. This version was completely rewritten to take full advantage of the new Cocoa and Tiger APIs. The new release also included an improved version of the JavaScript OSA scripting component.
Shredo 1 2 1 – file shredder and privacy cleaner. Version 5 of Script Debugger was released in June 2012.
Version 6 of Script Debugger was released in June 2016, with support for new features such as code folding and AppleScriptObjC.[1]
Version 7 of Script Debugger was released in March 2018, introducing the free 'Lite' mode and new features such as version browsing, enhanced applets, better bundle editing.[2]
