Hextech is the native macOS developer workbench — one app for the small tasks that interrupt your flow.
Format JSON, decode JWTs, diff text, browse SQLite, fire HTTP requests, manage containers, track Kanban cards, and more. No browser tabs. No Electron. Just SwiftUI, keyboard shortcuts, and tools that stay
out of your way.
WHY Hextech
• Fast — pure Swift engines, no web views for transforms
• Keyboard-driven — ⌘K to open any tool instantly; assign per-tool shortcuts in Settings
• Always nearby — menu bar companion with clipboard actions, snippets, colors, and container controls
• Offline-first — almost every tool works without a network
• Local-first — notes, snippets, boards, palettes, and history stay on your Mac
• Beautiful — Liquid Glass on macOS 26+, with graceful material fallbacks
