There are a few different SIMBL solutions out there. One example is EasySIMBL, which installs on a per-user basis and reads plugins only from ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins. Due to differences in SIMBL solutions, typically SIMBL plugins will give the user a choice of whether to install SIMBL or gives the user access to the plugin bundle itself. Also, generally plugins that rely on a supporting software do not always install it themselves; for example, Google Chrome extensions do not come with a Chrome installer.

I would like to:

  • Be able to install or have the plugin bundle without running the SIMBL installer
  • Either directly have access to the plugin bundle or have an option of whether to install to /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins or ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins (because I want to install to the latter)

As an example, SafariStand does this better, by:

  • Providing instructions to install EasySIMBL without forcing the user to install it
  • Giving the user access to the plugin bundle so that they may install it by dropping it into the EasySIMBL app window
