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. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs.
- One-time purchase. $19 once, year of updates included, $9 optional renewal — no subscription.
Paste it. Bench picks the tool.
Smart Detection reads your clipboard locally and routes you to the hash generator when it sees something like:
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
The 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.
