# Hopper Debugger

Pick apart a Mac or iPhone binary you did not build

## What this does

Sometimes the only thing you have is the compiled app, not its source. This helps you open up a Mac or iPhone binary and read what is in it: the named pieces of Objective-C and Swift code, what libraries get pulled in, and what happens when you run it under a debugger. Reach for it when you need to understand software from the outside in.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Look inside a macOS or iOS binary
- Find Objective-C and Swift symbols
- Trace what a binary loads

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## Questions

### Is Hopper Debugger safe to install?
