Probably the best file archiver if you're on macOS! Apple already has a file archiver built into macOS, but it's not as powerful as The Unarchiver if you need more features, settings, and file formats support.
It's a good tool. I use it to unpack RAR archives on macOS.
Mac already has a built-in application to extract archives. This utility is unnecessary.
The Unarchiver feels more like an extension of Archive Utility than a standalone extractor app. It's minimal, and stays in the background. Just extract your files, and you're done. You won't even notice it's there. I like that. :D
So much better than UnRarX that I was using. The unarchiver allows you to extract to a folder by default, and then to automatically open that folder. That is a huge time and effort saver for me!
