HashPony: Checksums, checked

hashpony.app Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An offline Android utility for hashing files and text, checking downloads, verifying folders, and exporting desktop-compatible sums files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The Android app uses the system picker and share sheet for input, then computes selected digests in one read pass rather than rereading a large file for each algorithm. SHA-256 starts enabled, while a wide set of cryptographic and non-cryptographic algorithms can be turned on in Settings. Its verification mode scans a download folder for a sums file and labels each entry OK, FAILED, or MISSING; exports target familiar sha256sum, shasum, xxhsum, and SFV formats.
