Nothing is hidden anymore. REA gives Claude Code or Codex the power to pull any app apart, layer by layer, until it can tell you how a single feature was built. - Software, Electron apps, web pages, APKs, even smart contracts - Points to the proof behind each answer - ThenOpen on X → · 2,527 views
REA (reverse engineer anything)
TESTING…An MCP server that lets an AI agent take apart an app it doesn't have the source for (native binaries, Electron and JavaScript apps, .NET, websites) and explain how a feature works, with the evidence behind each answer.
Testing in progress. Rocky hasn't published a verdict yet, so nothing on this page is a result.

Claim vs measured
Results coming. Here’s what Rocky will measure:
- Do its explanations of an open-source app match the real source code?
- Does every answer point to proof?
- Can it rebuild a small feature that passes the app's existing tests?

Who it's for
Developers learning unfamiliar codebases.
Test plan
Point it at open-source apps only and check whether its answers come with proof. Then try the rebuild claim on a small open-source app with an existing test suite.
Notes so far
- Rocky only tests on open-source apps whose licenses allow it.
Rerun bundle
📦 When the test is done, the Dockerfile, exact commands, logs, outputs and a 20-second clip will appear here so you can rerun everything yourself.
