byte.glass

Tools for seeing bytes clearly.

Binary doesn't have to look like a wall of hex or slip past you disguised as text. These projects each pick a small seam in how we look at data and pry it open a little.

Projects

blob

A Shortcuts toolkit for binary data on iOS. Type-safe encoding, a suite of read/print actions, and a compact Braille-based base-256 format that makes bytes visibly distinct from any other string you'll paste into a shortcut.

Available on the App Store.

hmac.sh

A single-page, client-side tool for building and sharing HMAC-SHA256 derivation chains. Paste a key, add signing steps, share the URL — the whole chain travels in the hash.

Base256 codec coming soon

A Swift package for blob's base-256 Braille encoding, pulled out as a standalone library so other projects can share the same "this is bytes" glyph set.
