## Why This Exists
I couldn't find any good binary viewers for macOS that looked as nice as the ones I was used to on Windows (like this [Binary Viewer](https://binary-viewer.en.softonic.com/)). The macOS options all seemed lacking in terms of modern UI and good user experience.
Most existing options were either:
- Command-line only (`xxd`, `hexdump`) - functional but not great for interactive analysis
- Ancient GUI applications with outdated interfaces
- Heavy-weight development tools that were overkill for simple binary viewing
- Cross-platform Java applications that felt foreign on macOS
I wanted something that felt native, looked modern, and provided the dual-pane analysis capabilities I was used to on Windows. Rather than compromise or constantly switch platforms for binary analysis work, I decided to build exactly what I wanted - a clean, fast, feature-rich binary viewer that works beautifully on macOS and can be easily shared across platforms.
This project represents the binary viewer I wish existed when I started looking for one.
