HextEdit: Hex Editor & Viewer
HextEdit views and edits a file's raw bytes through a native Mac interface.
Choose it for inspecting binary structures or making a carefully understood byte change.
A byte inspector and incremental search connect readable numeric values with their underlying file representation.
Keep in mind: Raw-byte edits can corrupt a file or executable; work on a copy and understand offsets and encoding before saving.
