In computing, Haxie is a term which was coined by developer Unsanity to describe their products. It is a blend of "hack" and "Mac OS X". Unsanity uses it to refer to "hacks" that are specifically designed for use with its Application Enhancer (APE) software. These are typically small interface and functionality tweaks to the system or existing applications that work by injecting code into programs as they load.
Today, many people call such system enhancement products for Mac OS X "haxies", even though not all use APE. There are actually several techniques for injecting code into Mac OS X applications. Some methods use SIMBL (the Smart InputManager Bundle Loader), are Input Manager plug-ins themselves, or use Jonathan Rentzsch's mach_inject and mach_override (now replaced by JRSwizzle) or similar code. It is also possible to do code injection as an AppleScript scripting addition (osax).
Controversy
Haxies are a source of controversy among Macintosh software developers. Because haxies make changes to Mac OS X that Apple did not intend, they complicate the operating environment for other developers' applications, and are frequently the cause of system instability and unexpected crashes. Applications by Bare Bones software display a dialog after crashing (or are force quit by the user) if haxies are detected on the system. The Omni Group routinely asks users to remove Application Enhancer modules before contacting customer support for help with their applications.
According to a post by an Apple employee on an Apple mailing list, Apple ignores all crash reports submitted by users if they show that APE is installed.
Intel-based Macintoshes
In June 2006, Unsanity released Application Enhancer 2.0 with support for Intel-based Macintoshes. Many of their haxies are now available in universal binary format, either as a final release version or as a public beta, while the others remain under development. Third-party haxie developers who rely on APE can now release Intel-native versions of their haxies. An Intel-native version of SIMBL is also available.

Diddy Riese (opened in 1983) is a popular restaurant in Westwood Village, a shopping area in Los Angeles, California. Diddy's sells cookies, ice cream, brownies, Hawaiian shave ice, coffee, and milk.
The restaurant is something of a local legend for its made-to-order ice cream sandwiches. Customers pick out the types of cookies from a dozen made fresh in-house, as well as a scoop of ice cream from two dozen Dreyer's flavors. In 1995, Diddy Riese created the made-to-order ice cream sandwich offering different flavor combinations as a featured item on the menu. Customers can choose 2 cookies from a selection of 10 flavors to pair with one flavor of ice cream from a selection of 12 flavors. It is widely held that Diddy Riese Cookies, because of their low discounted prices coupled with their high quality, sells more fresh, handmade cookies daily than any other single retail cookie store in the United States. Starting in 1983, Diddy Riese originally sold a cookie for 25 cents for 32 years. They have since raised the original price by only 25 cents. First-time customers are often amazed that they can still buy a cookie for 50 cents and a dozen cookies for $4.50.
Due to this low-cost mainstay, Diddy's attracts long lines on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, when UCLA's classes are in session. However, the lines are much shorter during the day and on other nights.
Weekly trips to Diddy Riese are common among UCLA students, but also students from nearby colleges like USC, Occidental College, or Loyola Marymount University. Diddy Riese is also a popular destination for many tourists visiting the Los Angeles area from Northern California, out of state and other countries. Its 32-year history has led to Diddy Riese being considered by many as a Los Angeles landmark.
