Overview

Checksums help confirm that a downloaded release asset matches the published build. FileLever serves macOS builds directly from filelever.com and also mirrors the same assets on GitHub Releases as an alternate download path.

When to verify

after downloading a release asset
if the download was interrupted
before sharing a build with someone else
when you want to confirm file integrity

How to verify

Windows: use PowerShell Get-FileHash
macOS: use shasum -a 256
Linux: use sha256sum

What to compare

Match the calculated SHA256 against the value published with the release notes or release asset listing.

Where to verify FileLever builds

Primary download: FileLever download page
Current release notes: FileLever v1.1.1
Alternate mirror / archive: GitHub Releases
Primary hosting: Cloudflare R2 via filelever.com
macOS trust status: code signed and notarized
Compare your local SHA256 against the checksum value published with that release
