Hash/Check is a simple app to verify downloaded files by hash. That's it. That's the app.

I've never used a tool like this before. Very easy. I downloaded qBittorrent and before opening the installer I dragged the image to Hash/Check and the app automatically copied the checksum from my clipboard and highlighted if there was a match or not. (make sure to highlight and copy (ctrl-c) the checksum you want to check against before dragging the downloaded image your checking into this app.

Compare function not intuitive and broken

Having to copy a hash value into the clipboard BEFORE calculating the hash is counter intuitive. You should simply allow user to PASTE a value into the compare field at the bottom. I wasted five minutes trying to figure out. Then as a test, I pasted garbage value into the clipboard then calculated the hash, and the app said Clipboard Match! across ALL algorithms, which is obviously incorrect. Completely unreliable.

Program refuses to quit and cannot be accessed from MacOS Force Quit. Performs operations using the CPU even when not attempting to hash a file. Beware!

Developer Response
** Update: yes, it has been a while, a whole year! So the issue was if you have a Very Large File™ in your downloads folder (such as having just downloaded Xcode) the app would try to create hashes of said Very Large File™ and would beachball due to ... well, not having implemented the app using modern async/multithreading techniques. Well, you're in luck as Version 2.0 has fixed the Beachball of Doom. Yay!

This update brings a more magical macOS experience: Hash/Check can now live happily in your menu bar, launch at login, and stay nearby for quick checks without insisting on a full window every time. The main app and the menu bar companion now play nicely as separate little helpers — one for focused file work, one for instant access. We also gave Settings a proper spring cleaning, trimmed the interface, and made the whole app feel more polished, more native, and more at home on your Mac. So why 4.1? Because. Just because.
