MacForge is an open-source plugin manager for macOS that lets users discover, install, and manage plugins, apps, and themes, including code injection into running applications. It is the successor to mySIMBL and requires disabling System Integrity Protection and library validation for most plugins to load.
Use cases
- install and manage macOS plugins from a browsable store
- inject plugins into macOS applications without manual file copying
- browse and search a repository of macOS tweaks, themes, and apps
- enable or disable installed plugins per application
- host and distribute my own macOS plugin repository
- keep installed bundles automatically updated
When to choose
- you want a Cydia/SIMBL-style plugin ecosystem for macOS 10.14+
- you need to discover and auto-update community plugins and themes for macOS
- you want drag-and-drop installation of .bundle plugins with per-app blacklisting
When to avoid
- you cannot or will not disable System Integrity Protection and library validation
- you are on an Apple Silicon (M1 or later) Mac, which is not supported
- you need a security-sensitive machine where code injection is unacceptable
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases
