About
Hex Fiend opens files of any size, including disks and process memory, without loading them whole, and stays responsive while you scroll through them. It supports inserting and deleting bytes rather than only overwriting, has a binary template system for parsing structured data, and runs comparisons between two files. It is free and open source.
