Features & Capabilities

Hexer is a desktop level hex viewer packed with features. It was developed from the ground up for iOS and iPadOS. It is natural and intuitive to use for everyone. It is integrated with the Files app. So you can browse Dropbox, Google Drive, your git repositories, your downloads, your documents in iCloud Drive or your desktop. Or you can just share any file to it.

Bytes are highlighted in different colors: Printable characters are cyan, spaces blue, null bytes grey, control characters pink and so on. The colors appear across the binary, hexadecimal, and ascii column — or can just be turned off completely.

▶ Many advanced options • Many popular themes from text editors and terminals • Line numbers (offsets) • Overscroll • Complete control over the formatting of what you copy or share • Column counts in powers of two (8 bytes, 16, 32, ...) or in any number that fits • Interpret bytes as ASCII, ISO Latin 1 or EBCDIC • The UI is navigable by keyboard and there are keyboard shortcuts to toggle almost everything • Further features for you to discover

▶ Search • Search for content in the hexadecimal, ASCII or binary column • Preview results with context and jump to and highlight them in the document • Filter results with Regular Expression and based on case sensitivity • Jump between results with arrow keys

▶ Analysis • Get information about the selection or the entire document • Decode to integers • See byte frequencies • See detected file signatures (magic numbers) • Read metadata like creation date and Unix permissions

▶ The App is made by a real person out of love When you buy the app (no hidden in app purchases) the money goes straight to me to support development. If you have any questions or feature requests you can just write me an email and let me know. I will continue development with many more planned features like editing.

▶ The App is friendly There are no in app purchases, ads, tracking, nor is there any data collected. You buy it once and then use it. Nothing more. Nothing less.

User Reviews

Users praise Hexer for its elegant UI, rich viewing options (hex, binary, ASCII), strong regex search, and fast performance, along with good theming and customization. However, a common drawback across multiple reviews is the lack of editing capabilities, which significantly reduces its usefulness for users wanting to modify files. Some users note the landscape view helps on small screens and that the developer is responsive. Overall, the app excels at viewing but falls short for editing tasks.

Pros

Elegant, polished UI and overall design.
Wide range of viewing formats and color-coded analysis to spot patterns.
Fast and responsive performance, even with large files.
Powerful search capabilities, including REGEX support.
High customization and theming; useful as a Files app replacement.

Cons

Lacks editing capability; viewing-only, which limits value for many users.

Recent reviews

Constantly crashes despite repeated phone restarts and app delete / reinstall. Most crashy app I’ve used in a long time. Junk.

The design is thoughtful and elegant; simple, as a mobile app demands, but without skimping on powerful analysis features (although you might have to switch out of portrait mode to make the most of them)! This is by far the best hex viewing app I've ever used. The colors (and value ranges to which they apply) make finding certain patterns in files INCREDIBLY easy... to the point I always wish I had just loaded it up sooner. From a design standpoint alone, this app easily takes the cake over my PC go-to.
