File Peek includes a powerful hex editor that's easy to use. Edit a single byte, or as many as you'd like. Need to edit a particular offset? No worries, it can do that too.

It also includes full find/replace functionality and export as text or hex.

Change a file's created and modified dates. Sometimes these get messed up and there's no easy way to update them in Finder. Using File Peek, it's super easy - use the graphical calendar or type in the date.
