What's a good hex editor/viewer for the Mac? I've used xxd for viewing hexdumps, and I think it can be used in reverse to make edits. But what I really want is a real hex editor.

Komodo Edit is an open source free text editor Mac, with a very good user interface that makes it useful for writing code and other things. This app has several useful tools for editing, such as the capacity to track changes, autocomplete, multiple section, skin and icon sets, and a markdown viewer.

On http://www.synalysis.net/ you can get the hex editor I'm developing for the Mac - Synalyze It!. Best pdf editor apps for mac. It costs 7 € / 40 € (Pro version) and offers some extra features like histogram, incremental search, support of many text encodings and interactive definition of a 'grammar' for your file format.
The grammar helps to interpret the files and colors the hex view for easier analysis.
