       | Well worth the 90$ for the pro version if you spend a lot of time
       | in a hex editor.

       | vs HexFiend and what they're each good at?

         | added benefit of a diffing view, but I hope to add some more
         | advanced features in the coming versions. I think HextEdit has
         | some nice unique features that are expected of modern macOS
         | apps, like version history and dark mode. They're both quite
         | simple hex editors, and are both free!
