No soft is needed, but there are some to make the figure. There are several choices, QUADAS, ROBINS-1...You should decide which method is appropriate for you. We used ROBINS-1 and soft is described there:

The risk of bias of individual studies is assessed by different check lists such as the National Institutes of Health checklist for observational, cohort and cross-sectional studies (available from: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/study-quality-assessment-tools) or New Castle Ottawa scale (NOS) for case control studies (http://www.ohri.ca/programs/clinical_epidemiology/ oxford.asp)
As per PRISMA guidelines, risk of Bias across studies can be assessed by specifying any assessment of risk of bias that may affect the cumulative evidence (e.g., publication bias, selective reporting within studies). Statistician's help is required to check the Publication bias (plotting funnel plot or by Egger's test).
Dear Diako Heidary I agree with Shin Murakami In addition, following tools maybe useful based on types of study designs of included studies in SR.

You can use JBI, newcastle ottawa tool, or QUADAS-2 tool depending on the type of your study.
Hi Diako,
Check Corchrane risk of bias tool.
You can use ReView Manager to present your judgement of every study. I have noted few journal require the use of Corchrane guidelines.
For RCTs; you can use The Cochrane risk of bias tool in Revman
