The Rocket Hash app icon — a rocket carrying a hash symbol

Hash anything. Verify everything.

The native Mac app for checksums — of text, files, and entire folders. Eight algorithms, one read of the file, and nothing that ever leaves your Mac.

Designed for macOS 14 and later

Text

Checksums for anything you type — live, as you type it.

0 bytes

Everything above is computed in this page, on your machine — nothing is uploaded. The same eight algorithms have a page each: free SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-3, MD5 and CRC32 calculators for any text you like.

Three tools

Everything you need to trust a file.

Hash text as you type. Stream files and whole folders in a single pass. Prove a download is exactly what it claims to be.

Text

Checksums, as you type.

Type or paste anything and watch every algorithm resolve at once. Copy a single digest, or all of them. No button to press, no file to save.

Files & Folders

A hundred thousand files,
read once each.

Drag in a file, a folder, or all of them. Each checksum streams in a single pass with real-time throughput and time remaining. Pause mid-file and resume from the exact byte — then export a shasum-compatible manifest.

Verify

Match, or no match.
No ambiguity.

Drop a download and paste its published checksum — even a whole SHA256(file)= line. Rocket Hash detects the algorithm and gives one clear verdict. Or compare two files, byte for byte.

Built for big files

Read once. Hash everything.

A file is read a single time no matter how many digests you ask for. Memory stays flat — hash a 100 GB disk image without ever loading it into RAM.

Privacy

Your files never leave your Mac.

No network calls. No telemetry. No accounts. Rocket Hash does all of its work on-device — and there's nothing for it to phone home about.

100% on-device

Every byte is processed locally. Rocket Hash makes no network connections — ever.

No tracking

No analytics, no accounts, no identifiers. Nothing about your files is collected.

Sandboxed

App Sandbox and the hardened runtime, reviewed for the Mac App Store.

No third parties

Pure Swift and Apple's own frameworks. Zero third-party code in the app.

Algorithms

Eight digests, grouped by trust.

From modern SHA-3 to legacy checksums — each verified against official NIST test vectors, and clearly labeled so you always know what you're relying on.

Designed in Cupertino

Every detail, considered.

Real Liquid Glass on macOS 26, with a refined material fallback before it. Spring animations, a glowing verification seal, and subtle haptics throughout.

Liquid Glass

A translucent window that reads as one seamless panel, with depth that responds to what's on screen.

Fluid motion

Morphing copy buttons, rolling counters, drag-and-drop glow, and spring physics on every transition.

The verification seal

It snaps into place the moment a file checks out. Tap to replay.
