  • bytecode-viewer

    A Java 8+ Jar & Android APK Reverse Engineering Suite (Decompiler, Editor, Debugger & More)

  • Here's a good tool for inspecting the bytecode of applications, with built in decompiler support: https://github.com/Konloch/bytecode-viewer

  • Recaf

    The modern Java bytecode editor

  • No one seems to mention Recaf wich is the best option IMO. You can choose between different decompilers (Fernflower, CFR, Jadx, Procyon and others) has bytecode editing capabilities (you don't have to fully decompile, you can edit the bytecode directly), built in peephole optimizations for flow and number obfuscations, various search options for methods, members, strings, and method virtualization via SSVM

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
