Hypercard Language Programming Software
Listing Info
from the HyperCard web site
Go my start with “HyperCard” and it “was” (sadly no more), the most fun program I ever had. I made more money off the Mac because of that program and had a MAJOR career shift because of it. Great stuff!!! Just like a gateway drug it was a gateway programming language and lead to C++ and some really cool stuff.

HyperCard Software Alternatives
Here are a few of suggested replacement (from web banter):
- SuperCard — The first HyperCard clone, for MacOS 10.14 and earlier. This is the program that I would go with. It is the closet to the old HyperCard but up to date and runs on the latest Mac OS X system - both PPC and Intel. It is Mac only but that is OK by me :-)
- LiveCode — Originally known as MetaCard, this cross-platform IDE runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, iOS and as a browser plugin. LiveCode •
- NovaCard • A simple HyperCard-like app for the iPad, with JavaScript as the programming language.
- DataOrganizer — A database that succeeds a modern HyperCard-like system for the Mac with Button Tasks/ClickScript-style programming named BayCard.
