I am using the otool, nm and Fraise text editor to disassemble the Mach-o binaries. My workflow at this point is pretty straightforward:

    1. List the existed symbols. 
nm -g
    2. Get the disasm code. 
otool -vt
    3. Copy and paste this output to a text file.
    4. Read and comment the code in the text editor :)

I am looking for the tools that simplify the working with disasm code on Mac OS X.

    Just a note for anyone reading this that `otool -Vt` will give you symbols for operands, e.g. `callq _main` rather than `callq 0x100001060`. – robbie_c Mar 14 '13 at 11:16

  • Much respect for mentioning hopper - I hadn't heard of it until I read your post. After playing with the trial for 5 minutes I was easily convinced to purchase. Thanks for turning me on to it. – synthesizerpatel Sep 14 '12 at 06:14
