Product Description:

A simple and fast tool for browsing any file on your system, and making small hex-level changes.

Very very handy for verifying the contents of files you are writing out from your own applications without doing extra work yourself.

Also handy for snooping around in other people's files for ideas. You can also modify your hit points in Balders Gate, but anyway...

Note: Most of the source code is included with the application, select "View PeekIt Source" from the Window menu.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed bugs in the Find routines.
  • Added an intel disassember view to the value drawer.
  • Shortened the data view in the value drawer slightly to make the buttons easier to click.

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9

PeekIt Reviewgood display, unreliable search-find function - Version: 2.5.4, 5/27/2007 05:21PM PST

balancedview
I have used this for a quite a while.
But am going to have to drop it, as it is just too unreliable on search or find strings. It does not seem to remember whether I have selected to start from file beginning, or whether I have case sensitive or not.
Often, it finds only one instance of a string, while I can plainly see multiple copies of the exact same string on screen within several lines of the only 'found' instance.
P.S. I did contact developer, who responded, but no resolution.

When I try to launch it on my MacBook Pro, it crashes. See my first comment for details (I didn't want to clutter up the top-level reviews).

PeekIt Reviewgetting much more useful... - Version: 2.4.7, 9/26/2005 12:42PM PST

Krioni (Shockley Consulting)
I just added this to my toolbox. I made a comment on an older version that it didn't seem to have any unique features - now it does.

The ability to add Notes (which allow you to mark a location within a file and make notes about what it is for) is something I haven't seen elsewhere. Very interesting.

The drawer that shows different representations of the current data point is interesting/useful as well.

PeekIt also shows your changes in red, which is nice. Makes it easy to see what you've done.

It has some issues with interface glitches (text, etc), but that is not a big problem.

All in all, I'm glad to see that what I mentioned about PeekIt showing potential is starting to be realized. I don't do as much hex-editing as I used to, but I'll be sure to use this when I do.
