Apple - Software - AppleScript - AppleScript Studio

Wouldn’t it be great if you could make AppleScript applications that look, feel and act just like Mac OS X applications?

Your wishes have been granted. AppleScript Studio gives you all the tools you need to create elegant and powerful Mac OS X applications written entirely in AppleScript.

And you want widgets? We got widgets! All the beautiful Aqua elements: buttons, windows, sliders, checkboxes, tabs, radio buttons and more are included.

And even though it’s fun to use, AppleScript Studio is a set of professional application development tools featuring complete interface design and script writing with step-by-step debugging and source management.

Get ready to script with style. Get into Mac OS X and AppleScript Studio.

AppleScript Studio is now available and is included with Xcode, the new Mac OS X Developer toolset. Xcode is accessible by member developers from the Apple Developer Website as either a free download or as a CD ROM for $20. While online membership in the ADC Program is free, other options include Student, Select, and Premier programs offering a variety of support and access options.
