iHex
iHex is a hexadecimal editor for macOS that allows developers and power users to view and edit binary files at the byte level. It is used for inspecting file formats, analyzing binary data structures, reverse engineering, and low-level file inspection tasks. The app presents file contents in hex-dump format with ASCII representation alongside, making it useful for understanding raw file structure and debugging binary protocols.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find definitive information about whether iHex has a native Apple Silicon build or what the developer's current maintenance status is. The search results point to generic download aggregators rather than an official project page or release information. To determine your path forward, contact the developer directly (using the bundle ID com.hewbo.hexeditor as a starting point) and ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. If you rely on this app regularly, ask explicitly about support before macOS 28 ships in late 2027, since an Intel-only build will stop launching at that point. As a more actively maintained alternative with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider Hex Fiend, a free open-source hex editor that is still under active development and runs natively on M-series Macs.
