Machonist is a PPC disassembler with the list of features growing day.

Here are some key features of "Machonist":
Easy overview of any mach-o binary.
A disassembler that does a lot of work for you. If you know otool, or ht, you will be suprised, how much more information Machonist will present!
Examines and processes Objective-C information to ease the work with everyday Cocoa binaries.
No need for Terminal.app. class-dump, otool and ht are great but on an Apple Mac you should be free to use a nice GUI.

What's New:
All references to symbols, strings listed in new window.
fewer parts are declared as "anon" functions.
Really daring string guessing from data.
Some branch target addresses were completely wrong! Fixed now. Hopefully this was the last bug concerning branches.
Reworked conditional branches.
Re-opening a closed file works now, same with "recent documents".
More Obj-C Info processed (Categories), better analysis of Obj-C methods.
Fixed a bug that causes a crash when loading bad Mach-O files.
Demangling C++ Function names using libiberty.
Save Patchfiles as XPF (eXchangeble (XML) Patch File) without comments, etc.
Fixed some more minor bugs.

Requirements:
gdb (Developer tools) suggested.
