FaceSpan 4

FaceSpan is an AppleScript-centric Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool for Mac OS X. It is the perfect tool for wrapping a Mac OS X Aqua user interface around an AppleScript workflow. If your script needs more than AppleScript's display dialog or choose from list commands, FaceSpan is the ideal tool. It allows you to quickly and easily create windows, panels, sheets and menus for your application. FaceSpan provides a rich palette of user interface widgets (buttons, checkboxes, radio buttons and tables).

Unlike tools such as Apple's AppleScript Studio, FaceSpan provides all this capability in a single unified application designed from the ground up for AppleScript users. No need to master Xcode and InterfaceBuilder.

FaceSpan leverages the power of the AppleScript Studio scripting interface. If you have experience programming AppleScript Studio, you'll be right at home with FaceSpan. However, FaceSpan improves on AppleScript Studio by providing a fully object-oriented project structure where scripts are associated with each user interface element (buttons, windows, etc.). This results in smaller and easier to manage scripts.

Looking Forward

The bug fixes that we anticipated when we aquired FaceSpan 4.2 from Digital Technology International (DTI) in the summer of 2005, have now been implemented in version 4.3, which we are are pleased to make available. This is a free update for FaceSpan 4 users. We are now focused on the next major release – FaceSpan 5.0, scheduled for 2008.
