22 cases for REA app recreation cases, ordered by the votes people give them on REA MCP. A good place to start: How Notion copies text and HTML,I had AI reverse-engineer TCL's BrowseHere and build a private, open-source alternative: Sofa TV Browser or Untangle rebuilt from REA evidence only.
Each case links to its original repository or write-up; only legitimate uses (your own software, open source, interoperability, defensive security, CTF, education) are listed.
22Traces a page-facing API in Notion's packaged JavaScript through its IPC wrappers to the system clipboard and shows how an HTML marker links rich block data to a copy.

Advertise hereA 02UI video demo showing how to use REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) with Claude Code to study Apple's Passwords generator and rebuild its 17 password rules inside the team's own design system, then validate with a 100-password test.
Developer describes using REA (a reverse-engineering skill for AI agents) to inspect TCL's BrowseHere APK, finding Firebase analytics, TCL ads and pre-ticked data-sharing settings, then having Claude build Sofa TV Browser — an open-source, GPL-3.0 Android TV browser with remote-friendly UX, tracker blocking, no analytics and no backend. Hosted on GitHub, distributed as an APK.
REA: Reverse Engineer Anything (18k stars) What it does All text below is quoted directly from the project README. One MCP for reverse engineering across binaries, applications, and runtime behavior.
Nate B Jones walks through concrete uses of REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) with Claude Code / Codex: how an authenticator app derives its six-digit codes, how Notion's copy and paste works, why the Windows calculator's percent button matters, and how Ledger Reborn studied QuickBooks before building an accounting app.
An agent analysed only the shipped Windows binary of an open-source puzzle game, wrote its findings, froze them, rebuilt the game as a web page and was graded against the real source (52 of 54 claims correct).
Records a passive Chrome DevTools session and rebuilds a public pricing layout as a single page.
A Reddit user describes using Claude with REA to dissect Android apps for a smart scale, a cheap smart watch and a TCL air conditioner, reverse engineer their protocols and route the data to their own home server (Home Assistant/Grafana) instead of vendor clouds.

Ten bounded studies of released open-source components (Monaco, Grafana, n8n, Excalidraw, Joplin, Node-RED, KeePass, 7-Zip, restic, rclone), each with evidence, an independent reconstruction and thousands of differential checks.
YouTube video covering Reverse Engineer Anything (REA), a free open-source MCP that lets AI agents analyse apps, websites and device artifacts so they can rebuild a working version. The presenter shows Claude setup, a live demo reverse engineering the author's own funnel scheduling page into a custom calendar app, the supported targets (websites, Android, Flutter, devices, file formats) and REA's six-step reverse-engineering workflow.
A Reddit post announcing REA Reconstruction Companion, an MIT-licensed skill for AI coding agents that works alongside REA (Reverse Engineer Anything) to convert reverse-engineering findings into feature breakdowns, requirements, architecture and staged build/test plans, with installers for Claude Code and Codex.
