replica-recon

separate

Reverse-engineers any app into a recon map: screen inventory, user flows, component list, inferred data model and a feature matrix, from public pages, screenshots, app store listings, help docs and the user's own account. The first step of the Replica pack. Use when the user says "clone this app", "reverse engineer X", "how does X work", "map out X", "what screens does X have", "I want to build my own version of X", "copy this app", or pastes an app's URL or App Store link and wants to rebuild it.

When to use

• clone this app
• reverse engineer X
• how does X work
• map out X
• what screens does X have
• I want to build my own version of X
• copy this app
• rebuild an app from public pages and screenshots

When not to use

• logging into accounts that are not the user's
• asking for passwords
• getting past paywalls or logins by trick
• using crawlers or bulk downloads
• reading or saving JavaScript bundles
• decompiling binaries
• logging network calls to copy endpoints
• cloning licensed content, network users, or data the app owns
