Say hello to MacPacker, the archive manager for macOS. Open source, because essential tools should be free. Preview (nested) archives. Extract selected files. Creating or editing archives will follow. Inspired by 7-Zip, but without any claim to comparability. See the roadmap for more details.

• macOS 14.6 or later

Download the .zip file from GitHub Releases. Extract and move the app to the Applications folder. The app is sandboxed, signed, and notarized by Apple.

• Navigate through (nested) archives
• Extract selected files via drag & drop to any target
• Breadcrumb for quick navigation
• Support (my) most needed archives .zip, .tar, .lz4
• Extract the full archive at once
• Preview files without extraction
• Support all formats that TheUnarchiver supports
• Finder extensions for quick access to the most important functions
• Create archives and edit archives (most common ones only)
• Fully fledged internal previewer

• macOS 14 or later
• XCode 16 or later
