For the latest, full-featured Code Analyzer experience, download Code Analyzer from the Mac App Store. Code Analyzer turns opaque software into a workspace you can navigate. Analyze APK, JAR, and JMOD archives, inspect Mach-O and ELF binaries and font files, and move naturally from package structure to readable code, functions, symbols, assembly, and raw bytes. Code Analyzer combines an APK analyzer, JAR/JMOD decompiler, native disassembler, font glyph viewer, bytecode viewer, and hex viewer in one focused iPhone and iPad workspace. There is no command-line setup and nothing to upload. PACKAGE AND BYTECODE ANALYSIS • Open APK packages and browse files, compiled classes, decoded resources, and manifest data • Decompile supported class files from JAR and JMOD archives into readable high-level output • Fall back to low-level bytecode automatically when a higher-level result is unavailable • Follow nested ZIP, APK, and JAR containers in place without manually unpacking them NATIVE BINARY ANALYSIS • Inspect Mach-O universal binaries, dynamic libraries, application bundles, and frameworks • Explore ELF executables and shared libraries across multiple CPU architectures • Browse architecture slices, headers, segments, sections, symbols, and discovered functions • Explore ELF and Mach-O machine code in a continuous, architecture-aware disassembly view • Jump directly to discovered functions and symbols, including useful results from stripped binaries FIND THE SIGNAL • Open TrueType, OpenType, and font collections in a searchable glyph viewer with metadata and outline inspection • Use Quick Open to find files, classes, methods, resources, and symbols with responsive fuzzy matching • Filter Project Explorer by filename to find files quickly • Search raw data as text or hex and step through every match • Jump to decimal or hexadecimal offsets without losing context • Copy any byte selection as hex, text, or Base64 • Keep syntax highlighting and symbol outlines beside the content you are reading ANALYZE ON THE GO • Native SwiftUI interface adapted for iPhone and iPad • Responsive background processing for large, multi-part files • Runs entirely offline, so your files stay on your device Built for developers, security professionals, and students who need clear answers from software they are authorized to inspect.

Do you work with QR codes or other types of scannable codes as much as I do? Do you need to see the data encoded in your codes for quick testing without your device or other fancy apps trying to take you to a website or somewhere else? Then this is the app for you!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QR Debug at 5.0 against Code Analyzer's 4.5. QR Debug also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 92%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). Code Analyzer's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (71 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
