Understand what's inside your Ubuntu system.
Inspect, analyze and understand Linux applications locally — without sending your files anywhere.
Linux apps shouldn't be black boxes.
Dissect-Ubuntu gives you a clear view of what is inside the applications you run.
Inspect
Explore application structure, bundled files, binary components, and runtime shared libraries with precision.
Understand
See what an application contains without digging through directories manually or extracting packages with custom scripts.
Stay Local
Analysis happens completely on your machine. Your binaries, scripts, and internal files never leave your computer.
Built for people who want to look closer.
An inspection utility crafted for Linux developers, system engineers, and security-conscious users.
Application Inspection
Inspect local Linux applications, standalone AppImages, Debian packages (.deb), Flatpaks, and raw system executables.
File Structure
Explore bundled files and directory trees in a clean, visual hierarchy with byte breakdowns and MIME type detection.
Metadata & Technical Specs
View useful application metadata, desktop entry keys, runtime dependencies, architecture flags, and permissions.
Local Processing
Analysis executes strictly on your local CPU. No external daemons, no network payloads, and zero external latency.
Fast
Engineered to feel instant even when reading multi-gigabyte workstation applications and deep directory structures.
Developer Friendly
Built specifically for developers, Linux enthusiasts, sysadmins, and curious power users who value inspectability.
Export
Allow users to export inspection results, component manifests, and file trees to structured JSON or plain text.
Privacy First
No upload pipeline. No account required. No analytics trackers or telemetry scripts embedded anywhere.
Three steps. No digging.
From raw package file to full architectural clarity in seconds.
Choose an application
Select an AppImage, Debian package (.deb), or local binary from your file system.
Analyze its contents
Dissect-Ubuntu extracts metadata, maps linked shared objects, and parses filesystem trees in memory.
Explore the result
Browse components, audit linked dependencies, view byte distribution, or export findings.
A clearer view of your applications.
Crisp, dense, native Linux desktop interface engineered for direct insight.
Built for Linux.
Inspect from the terminal with the companion CLI, or invoke the standalone visual workstation GUI. Zero dependencies, pure speed.

Your files stay on your machine.
Dissect-Ubuntu is designed around local processing. Your applications don't need to leave your computer just to understand what's inside them.
LOCAL PROCESSING
Every byte, archive partition, and header is parsed directly in memory using your local CPU without staging files to any temporary cloud.
NO ACCOUNT
No login prompt. No email gating. No license validation servers. Launch the executable and start inspecting immediately.
NO CLOUD UPLOADS
Zero network requests are made during analysis. Works flawlessly in completely air-gapped workstations and secure offline environments.
Take a closer look.
