Release notes for HashCalc Pro on macOS®. Last updated: April 23, 2026.

Release notes for HashCalc Pro. Newer releases appear first.

v1.0.13

April 23, 2026 Current
  • Sidecar paths fixed under sandbox. Generated .hash files now correctly store portable, tilde-abbreviated source paths (for example ~/Desktop/file.txt) instead of full container-resolved paths.
  • Color-coded VirusTotal results. The status toast after a lookup is now tinted by detection severity - green for clean, amber for low, orange for medium, red for high, and a deep red for critical.
  • Clearer status wording. VirusTotal results now read like VT Detections: [3/72] -> Low Risk for quicker at-a-glance reading.
  • Options polish. Hash files folder picker and related settings received minor UX touch-ups.
  • Website refresh. Small corrections and clarifications across the privacy, terms, marketing, and support pages.

v1.0.12

April 22, 2026
  • New toast notification system. Status messages across the app now present as consistent, animated toasts with proper timing controls.
  • Persistent file access. A new security-scoped bookmark store remembers folders you've granted HashCalc access to, so hash output folders and recent files survive app restarts cleanly under the macOS sandbox.
  • Internals streamlined. The hashing engine was simplified and modernized for better maintainability and reduced memory overhead.
  • Various small fixes to the Options tab.

v1.0.11

April 21, 2026
  • Public product website launched. Privacy policy, terms of service, marketing page, and a support contact form are now all live at hashcalc.pages.dev.
  • Additional App Store submission preparation.

v1.0.10

April 15, 2026
  • Credits tab added. A new tab listing acknowledgements for the algorithms and references behind the app.
  • Shift-click select/clear all. Holding Shift while clicking a hash algorithm toggle now toggles the entire default set on or off in one click.
  • Quit confirmation dialog. Opt-in confirmation before quitting, plus several other new options.
  • New theme palette. Refreshed accent colors, corner gradient fixes, and better readability in both light and dark appearances.
  • Credits tab always renders with dark content styling regardless of system appearance for a consistent look.
  • Significant internal refactoring to improve stability and performance.
  • Copy rewording and additional polish throughout.

v1.0.9

April 12, 2026
  • Find hash field. A new search bar in the results area lets you quickly locate an algorithm by name or by matching hex digits, with navigation between multiple matches.
  • More hash algorithms. Additional algorithm families were added to the lineup.
  • Improved color matching and consistency across the interface.

v1.0.4
