HEXR Tester is a free app for anyone with a HEXR glove, on Windows, Mac and Android. Connect a left or right glove over Bluetooth, drive any finger, and feel the difference between a slow squeeze and a 30 Hz buzz — no code, no Unity, no SDK.
It also runs a one-click check across all six channels, so a glove coming off the bench or back from a customer can be signed off in seconds.
Free for Windows, Mac and Android. Install it and it opens straight into the connect screen — nothing else to set up, and no pairing the glove in your Bluetooth settings.
The Windows app isn’t code-signed yet, so Windows may warn you the first time. To be safe, check the download’s SHA-256 (Get-FileHash in PowerShell) against the one on the release page, then choose More info → Run anyway. On a Mac, click Allow when it asks to use Bluetooth.
Left and right gloves are separate devices. Scan, connect one or both, and drive them together or independently.
Thumb to palm, plus the palm actuators. Steady pressure or vibration, with the strength, ramp and frequency under your hand.
Quick test drives all six channels to full, measures what each one reaches, and reports pass or fail per channel.
Three steps down the side: connect a glove, test it, and run a quick test. Pick which hand you are driving and which fingers to move, choose a steady squeeze or a vibration, set the strength, and press trigger. Release lets it go.
Down the right-hand side the glove reports back live — pressure on every channel, battery, and the air supply feeding it — so you can see a weak finger rather than having to feel for one. An all off button sits on every screen, and the Escape key does the same thing.
Read the user guide →HEXR Tester is for checking hardware and feeling effects by hand. To build HEXR into your own application, install the Unity package or the Python library — your app talks to the glove directly.
