Cool - I think this feature is available directly with the service that is downloadable from the F-Script homepage:

"The F-Script Anywhere injection service, developed by Silvio H. Ferreira, lets you easily inject a whole F-Script environment in any running Cocoa application, providing F-Script Anywhere-like functionality…"

http://www.fscript.org/download/download.htm

F-Script is pretty amazing, and was a great tool for helping me to learn Cocoa in particular.

Really cool. Those who are interested in a similar project should also check out Super Debugger.

https://github.com/Shopify/superdb

It uses F-Script but, as I understand it, uses its own debugging environment rather than tying into lldb.

Just to clarify F-Script is suitable only for debugging Mac apps. Super Debugger looks really cool for iOS.

Also, F-Script doesn't leverage lldb. The use of lldb in the example here was just that you can use lldb to attach to and load a library (bundle) into an arbitrary app process.
