I am using the otool, nm and Fraise text editor to disassemble the Mach-o binaries. My workflow at this point is pretty straightforward:

    1. List the existed symbols. 
nm -g
    2. Get the disasm code. 
otool -vt
    3. Copy and paste this output to a text file.
    4. Read and comment the codes in the text editor :)

I am looking for the tools that simplify the working with disasm code on Mac OS X.
