Checksum
Checksum is a macOS utility that calculates and verifies file checksums and cryptographic hashes. It allows users to generate checksums (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and other algorithms) for files and compare them against known values to verify file integrity, detect corruption, or confirm that a downloaded file matches the publisher's authentic version. The app is commonly used by IT professionals, developers, and security-conscious users who download software or receive files over the network and need to verify that files have not been altered or corrupted in transit.

1 suggestionWe could not confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build of Checksum exists — the available search results do not contain architecture-specific information about this app. If you rely on Checksum, we recommend checking the developer's website or contacting the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version has been released or is in development. In the meantime, the Intel-only version will continue to work under Rosetta 2 emulation, though it will not benefit from the performance and efficiency gains of native Apple Silicon support. If you need a native alternative, consider using the command-line tools built into macOS (md5, shasum, or the more modern openssl dgst commands), or explore other native checksum utilities available on the Mac App Store such as Hash or Integrity.
