Finally understand binary and hex — by doing, not memorising. Learn Binary turns number-base conversion into fast, satisfying drills. See a number, build the answer on a tappable bit row or a clean keypad, and get an instant verdict with the place-value breakdown behind it. It's built around how you actually learn: a level climb, an ~80% mastery gate, and a three-minute daily habit. WHAT'S INSIDE - The drill — convert decimal ⇄ binary ⇄ hex, both directions. Tap the bits or type the digits, confirm, and see exactly why the answer is what it is. - The nibble block — the standout: see how 0x61 = 0110 0001 = 97, with hex sat over colour-coded 4-bit nibbles. This is the trick that makes hex click. - A level climb — one level per bit, from the first switch up to the full byte (the 256 Club) and beyond. Clear a level test to unlock the next. - Two's-complement — read and write signed bytes, with the sign-bit reveal. - Bitwise ops — AND, OR and XOR, worked one column at a time. - Byte Speed Run — an optional 60-second timed challenge once you've earned it. - Daily goal + streak — a gentle habit, with a streak freeze so one missed day doesn't wipe your progress. - Explore — scrub a number and watch decimal, binary and hex move together. BUILT RIGHT - Fully offline — no account, no sign-up, no tracking required. - A clean, friendly light design in apricot and teal. Remove ads with a single one-time purchase — it removes the interstitial ads, and it's the only thing we'll ever ask you to buy.

DLD

DLD is a digital logic design and circuits workbench for your phone. Drop gates onto the bench, wire them together, flip a switch, and watch the signal travel through the circuit in real time. Built for students working through a digital logic design course — and for anyone who wants to see Boolean algebra actually do something. BUILD ANYTHING • 28 components: switches, clocks, Vcc and ground, every standard gate, tri-state buffers, multiplexers, flip-flops, displays and probes • Gates take 2 to 8 inputs — one wide NAND instead of three cascaded ones • Tap a component to reach its settings: input count, clock speed, colour • A work bench far bigger than the screen, with pan, zoom and fit-to-circuit SEE IT WORKING • Current animates along every live wire, so you can follow a signal • LEDs, LED bars, 7-segment and hex displays light up as the circuit runs • A school bell that rings for as long as it has current • Logic probes read out 1 or 0 anywhere you wire one UNDERSTAND IT • Boolean equations written out from whatever you have drawn • A full truth table generated from your circuit, ready to copy out • Conflicting drivers on a net are flagged rather than quietly wrong • A tutorial section covering every gate symbol and its truth table KEEP YOUR WORK • Save and reopen as many circuits as you like • Undo and redo everything • Recolour wires, lamps and blocks however you want to read them COMPONENTS Switch · Clock · Vcc · GND · AND · OR · NOT · NAND · NOR · XOR · XNOR · Buffer · Tri-state buffer · Tri-state NOT · MUX · DEMUX · D flip-flop · T flip-flop · JK flip-flop · Virtual links · LED · LED bar · 7-segment · Hex display · Bell · Probe · Label PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-in. No analytics. No ads. Nothing leaves your device — your circuits are saved on the phone and nowhere else. The app works with no network connection at all.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DLD at none against Learn Binary's 1. DLD also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
