Overview of Checksum Thing for macOS

A menu bar application monitors a specific location, such as your downloads folder, and records and saves the checksum and digest values of arriving files. A simple context click reveals the checksum value, and a second click copies it to the clipboard.

The checksum/digest algorithm can be changed, and MD5, SHA1, and other algorithms are supported.
On compatible macOS platforms, it uses hardware-accelerated cryptographic functions. It provides audible notifications as an option to keep you informed.
