Hash Generator for Mac
A native Mac hash generator. Paste text or a file path, get MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 digests in one view. For the moment the README asks for a checksum.
What it does
Bench's hash generator computes MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 digests for any text input. All four hashes appear at the same time so you don't need to re-run the tool when you realize you need a different algorithm. The output updates as you type, and each hash has a one-click copy button. It's useful for verifying download checksums, generating content hashes for cache-busting, producing HMAC inputs, and spot-checking whether two strings are identical without comparing them character by character.
Why use Bench's hash generator
Pasting a string into a web-based hash tool is fine for test data but becomes a habit worth breaking when the string is a password, an API key, or private content you're checking a digest of. Bench computes hashes locally using Apple's CryptoKit framework: no network calls, no copy of your input leaves the sandbox.
- Native Mac app. SwiftUI, single window, instant launch.
- Offline. No network calls. Whatever you paste stays on your Mac.
- No tracking. Nothing you enter is logged, sent, or shared. Bench has no analytics and no third-party SDKs.
- Free download. Core tools are included. Bench Pro is an optional $14.99 one-time unlock for Pro tools, Smart Detection, and higher limits. No subscription.
Paste it. Bench picks the tool.
With Bench Pro, Smart Detection reads your clipboard locally and routes you to the hash generator when it sees something like:

In Bench Pro, detection runs entirely on your Mac as a rule-based heuristic. It recognizes common hash lengths and hex-character patterns for MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256. Nothing is uploaded.
