A somewhat brutal repair of Synalize It! Pro for macOS, which is broken by linking against the system-provided python which no longer exists.

check current python linkage

% otool -L /Applications/Synalyze\ It\!\ Pro.app/Contents/MacOS/Synalyze\ It\!\ Pro | grep Python
	/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python (compatibility version 2.7.0, current version 2.7.16)

Download and install Python2.7.16 for macOS. By default this lands in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7

Make a copy of the Synalize It! Pro app bundle, e.g. to your desktop.

cp -R /Applications/Synalyze\ It\!\ Pro.app ~/Desktop
#!/bin/zsh
TARGET=$1
# to be used as an egrep pattern
SYMS='getprogname|NSGetArgv|NSGetArgc|optarg|optind|getopt|getopt_long'
sudo find ${TARGET} -type f -perm +111 \! -name "*.dylib" | \
while read f ; do
sudo nm -u ${f} 2> /dev/null | \

Apple System Preferences URL Schemes

macOS 10.15 System Preference Panes

Below are a list of System Preference pane URLs and paths that can be accessed with scripting to assist users with enabling macOS security settings without having to walk them through launching System Preferences, finding panes, and scrolling to settings. Not all panes have an accessible anchor and some are OS specific.

To find the Pane ID of a specific pane, open the System Preferences app and select the desired Preference Pane. With the pane selected, open the ScriptEditor.app and run the following script to copy the current Pane ID to your clipboard and display any available anchors:

tell application "System Preferences"
	set CurrentPane to the id of the current pane
	set the clipboard to CurrentPane
