 +==== App Freezes (Locks up, Spinning Beachball) or Other Strange Behavior due to SIMBL ====
 +
 +If Keyboard Maestro freezes, locks-up or is exhibiting very strange behavior, check to see if you have [[https://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​SIMBL|SIMBL]] installed in this folder:
 +
 +`/​Library/​Application Support/​SIMBL/​`
 +
 +**SIMBL** is very clever, but some of its extensions can lead to bizarre behavior, crashes, freezes and other strange, unexpected behavior in one or more apps or the macOS itself. ​ So if you have it installed, pretty much all bets are off as far as stability goes for your Mac.  See [[https://​macremover.com/​uninstallguides/​2018/​06/​19/​remove-mysimbl-macos/​|How to remove mySIMBL and SIMBL in macOS]].
