App: Checksum Thing
Developer: Matthew Watkins
Genres: Dienst­programme, Entwickler-Tools

A native Swift and SwiftUI menu bar application for quickly calculating the checksum values of files. Calculates MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512 checksums. Can optionally watch/monitor folders and dynamically process new files on arrival, checksumming them automatically in the background (useful for downloads, etc). Can export the database to a CSV file for convenient bulk handling in other applications.

	•	Calculates checksum/digest values using a number of selectable algorithms
	•	Explicitly add files or drag/drop content onto the main window for processing 
	•	Click on filenames to view the calculated checksum values
	•	Clicking on a displayed checksum value will copy it to the clipboard
	•	Option to export database content and checksum values to CSV file
	•	Uses hardware acceleration for cryptographic functions on supported Macs
	•	Fully sandboxed macOS application with minimal permissions
	•	Optional audio feedback when operations start or complete
	•	Runs in the background from the macOS menu bar, hiding the dock icon
	•	Animated menu bar icon shows when background operations are in progress
	•	Written purely in Swift and SwiftUI for macOS 11 and later releases
	•	Universal binary for both Intel and Apple Silicon hardware platforms
	•	Absolutely no adverts, tracking, calling home, or other privacy concerns
