mySIMBL

mySIMBL is the successor to the application EasySIMBL. It is designed to make managing SIMBL plugins easy on OS X versions 10.9 and above.

This appication uses the older version of SIMBL.osax (0.9.9) since EasySIMBL.osax no longer works on OS X 10.9.5 and above. The EasySIMBL developer does not seem like they are going to update their application or script.
