Thyme

Thyme is a native desktop reverse-engineering IDE that decompiles Java and disassembles ARM binaries for Android apps and libraries within a SQL-queryable workspace.

Thyme serves as a native desktop reverse-engineering IDE designed for Android applications and native binaries. Users can decompile Java, DEX, JAR, and IPA files while disassembling ARM A64, A32, and T32 instruction sets. It organizes call graphs into a DuckDB workspace, allowing users to execute SQL queries directly against the data rather than visualizing complex call paths. The tool handles native library extraction from APKs and includes basic block control-flow graphs. The application includes a bundled phone mirror with a GPU color-conversion path for device interaction. All analysis runs entirely in-process on the local machine, ensuring that no file contents or binary data leave the system.
