Keeping your information safe in this day and age becomes increasingly difficult, especially in the context of an ever-growing pool of threats and malware that are almost (if not) sentient. When it comes to simple text encryption, some of the basic methods still prove to be efficient and encoding your data to hash format can be one of them. Hash Generator (Text to SHA1) will allow you to easily compute the corresponding hash code for your inputted text strings.

Users can add their text by either manually inputting it or pasting it from the clipboard. No limit is provided or specified but this does not impede the app’s functionality. Having added the text, it’s just a matter of using the on-screen controls for generating the corresponding hash.

The fact that the app offers such simplistic operation and doesn’t require any special knowledge for use, makes it ideal for novices or simply those who only need to perform such a conversion and hate to deal with other “nonsense”.

The single feature provided by the app is also the one that allows users to perform minimalist customization to their resulted hash code. The capitalization tool will, well, capitalize all the letters, and this might or might not come in handy.

Several extra features are lacking though, and batch processing or even simpler, interface resizing options come to mind. Although not major gripes, it could have enhanced the provided package.

If you seek for a basic converter for your text strings, which outputs SHA1 format hash codes, give this minimalist app a try.
