HashTab for Mac

What HashTab Brings to macOS

HashTab is a no-cost utility for macOS that streamlines file inspection by letting you generate and view cryptographic hash values directly from the Finder. It’s built to help you confirm a file’s integrity and verify that a copy hasn’t been altered, while keeping the workflow within the familiar Finder experience.

Why You Might Use It

• Quickly confirm that downloads or backups match their expected checksums to detect corruption or tampering.
• Keep verification steps simple by working from the Finder rather than opening a separate app.
• Rely on a straightforward interface that reduces the time needed to locate and inspect files.

Hashing Algorithms Included

• SHA-256 — a modern, widely used algorithm for strong file verification.
• SHA-1 — available for legacy compatibility where older checksums are still used.
• MD5 — provided for quick comparisons and compatibility with older systems.

Other Useful Capabilities

• Drag-and-drop support for effortless selection of files to be hashed.
• Direct Finder integration so hash values are accessible via context menus or file properties.
• Clear, easy-to-read displays that make identifying checksum values painless.
• Support for multiple checksum types so you can choose the level of assurance you need.

Free Alternative to Consider
