## Description

A fast, focused hex editor for Android. Open any binary file — PNG, ZIP, ELF, firmware, save games, network captures, archives — and read it the way developers do: byte by byte, hex and ASCII side by side.<br><br>Hex Editor is built for engineers, reverse-engineers, security researchers, students, and anyone who needs to peek inside a file. It&#39;s read-only by default — your data is never modified unless you explicitly switch to edit mode. Everything happens on-device. There is no account, no telemetry, no cloud, no ads when you upgrade.<br><br>WHAT YOU CAN DO<br><br>• Open any file via SAF — no permission prompts beyond what Android already shows.<br>• View hex + ASCII side by side. Smooth paged scrolling handles files up to gigabytes.<br>• Search for hex patterns (&quot;89 50 4E 47&quot;) or ASCII strings, jump between matches.<br>• Goto offset — decimal, hex, or a math expression (0x1000 + 16).<br>• Bookmark interesting offsets and jump back any time.<br>• Data inspector: int8/16/32/64, uint, float32/64, LE/BE, bit grid, header bytes.<br>• Hash any range — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, CRC32 — for quick verification.<br>• Extract strings — ASCII, UTF-16 LE, UTF-16 BE — minimum length tunable.<br>• Compare two files byte-by-byte with diff offsets, navigation, and shift detection.<br>• Auto-detect file structure for PNG, ZIP, PE, and ELF — chunk and section regions.<br>• Histogram and entropy for any selection — spot compressed or encrypted blobs at a glance.<br>• Edit bytes, insert, delete, replace, apply binary patches. Full undo / redo history.<br>• Export to xxd or Intel-HEX. Re-import patches and replay them on another file.<br><br>PRIVACY-FIRST<br><br>Hex Editor is fully offline. Your files never leave your device. No account, no cloud, no analytics. The Pro upgrade unlocks editing and removes the single small ad — your data stays yours either way. Read the privacy notice before you install: it&#39;s short and honest.<br><br>DESIGNED FOR FOCUS<br><br>• Material 3 dark theme tuned for long reading sessions.<br>• Monospace grid with byte-level selection and range anchors.<br>• Tab-switchable density and address base (hex / dec / oct).<br>• Onboarding tour, contextual hints, and tooltips on every tool.<br><br>UPGRADE WHEN YOU NEED IT<br><br>The free tier is fully functional for reading, inspecting, and analyzing binaries. The optional Pro one-time purchase unlocks editing, patch tools, and removes the single ad. Buy it once, keep it forever — no subscription.<br><br>Built by a small team in Bangkok, for developers everywhere.
