An AppleScript Automator to calculate hash values of file(s) for MacOS.
I have been using HashCheck on Windows OS but haven't found the alternative app in MacOS so I made my own Automatoe Quick Action using AppleScript.
-
Download the workflow file and unzip.

Click right mouse button and select "Quick Actions" then the workflow.
