Hexgeist

Open the file. Meet the bytes.

Inspect, understand, compare, and carefully edit the bytes inside binary files without losing the larger structure.

Hexgeist showing a binary file in the byte grid, Spectral Map, Navigator, and Lens.

Hexgeist helps you understand binary files without losing sight of the bytes. Spectral Map shows the shape of the file while Navigator, Lens, search, bookmarks, comparison, patches, and Bit Lab support careful investigation.

What it does

See the whole file at a glance

Spectral Map keeps structure, texture, viewport, selections, bookmarks, search matches, and differences visible in one ribbon.

Turn raw bytes into context

Browse supported Mach-O and ELF structures, decode selections, calculate hashes, extract strings, and preview embedded resources.

Change bytes with a reviewable path

Work in Inspect, Overwrite, or Insert mode, stage small changes in Bit Lab, preview their meaning, and keep undo available.

Find and compare exact offsets

Search bytes or text, save bookmarks, compare files or versions, and export or apply precise local patches.
