ASC

ASC is a fast, low-memory Android decompiler that lets AI agents and mobile researchers search and read app code without a long preprocessing step.

What it is good for

  • Searching large Android APKs for specific code references quickly
  • Decompiling a single class from an Android app without waiting
  • Reducing memory use when analyzing many Android apps at once
  • Giving an AI agent fast access to Android app code
