XHelper vs HMAC
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side โ with what reviewers say about each.
XHelper
A straightforward utility for developers to perform common cryptographic and encoding tasks. It allows hashing strings with SHA256, converting between epoch and Unix timestamps, and encoding/decoding with base64.
- SHA256 string hashing
- Epoch and Unix timestamp conversion
- Base64 encoding
- Base64 decoding

XHelper is a fast, private toolkit for the small conversions developers do all day. Paste anything and XHelper recognizes it โ a JWT, JSON, a Unix timestamp, a UUID, a URL, a color, a number, or Base64 โ and opens the right tool with your input already filled in. ENCODING โข Base64 โ Encode and decode text and files, with a URL-safe option and image previews for decoded data. โข URL โ Percent-encode and decode, and see every part of a URL plus its query parameters. โข JWT โ Decode the header, payload and claims, see when a token expires, and verify HS256, HS384 and HS512 signatures. HASH โข MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 for text or files, with optional HMAC. Large files are hashed in chunks. FORMAT โข JSON โ Pretty-print with 2 spaces, 4 spaces or tabs, minify, sort keys, and get errors with the exact line and column. GENERATE โข UUID โ Create v4 or time-ordered v7 UUIDs in batches, with uppercase, hyphen and brace options. Inspect any UUID, including the timestamp inside a v7. CONVERT โข Epoch โ Unix timestamps in seconds, milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds to UTC, local time, ISO 8601 and relative dates, and back again. โข Number Base โ Binary, octal, decimal and hex, including negative numbers. โข Color โ Hex, RGB and HSL, plus ready-to-paste SwiftUI, UIKit and AppKit code. TEXT โข Regex Tester โ Live match highlighting, capture groups and flags. โข Text Diff โ Compare two blocks of text line by line. โข Text Tools โ camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case and more; sort, reverse and de-duplicate lines; count characters, words, lines and bytes. WORKS EVERYWHERE โข Shortcuts, Siri and Spotlight โ Encode and decode Base64 and URLs, hash text, format JSON, decode JWTs, generate UUIDs, convert timestamps and change case without opening the app. โข Mac Services โ Select text in any Mac app and use Services โ XHelper to encode, decode, format JSON or change case in place. โข A native app for Mac, iPhone and iPad, with a searchable sidebar and keyboard shortcuts on Mac. PRIVATE BY DESIGN XHelper works completely offline. Nothing you paste ever leaves your device, and there's no tracking of any kind.
