Yes you can program your own Mac! SuperCard makes it fun, easy, and rewarding for anyone to build great Macintosh software - even if you don’t know a thing about programming!

Create interfaces visually, choosing from dozens of smart controls & fields. Script the innards in a rich, powerful English-like language you’ll intuitively understand, even if you’ve never scripted before!

No compiling! Edit your application while it’s running! The built in Script Tracer lets you see exactly how projects work: step line by line, set breakpoints, change scripts and data on the fly.

No digging through manuals — syntax completion and extensible help are just a keystroke away. ClickScript automatically generates clear, commented scripts for a wide variety of tasks, so you’ll be up and running in minutes.

Even import legacy HyperCard stacks for use in Mac OS X

Limitations:
30 day fully functional demo.

What's New:
Universal Binary Architecture - SuperCard and SuperCard authored applications now run natively with enhanced performance on both Intel and PowerPC based Macintoshes.
Xcode Based External Development - Developing externals now means being able to use the Macintosh's development environment of choice, Apple's Xcode. The Internals Toolbox's Xcode templates make setting up your environment and project quite literally, a piece of cake. SuperCard 4.6 additions allow you to quickly and easily build, test, and debug universal binary externals that will run seamlessly on both PPC and Intel Macs, all from within Xcode!
Support for metal style windows, volume mount and unmount messages, new "for-each" option in SuperTalk repeat loop structures offers dramatically increased performance when parsing through large chunks of data, and conversion functions for HFS and POSIX format file paths.
