iZip Unarchiver
iZip Unarchiver is a file decompression utility for macOS that extracts archives in multiple formats including ZIP, RAR, 7-Zip, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, and many others. It integrates with Finder for convenient right-click extraction, supports files with foreign-language characters in their names, and offers both sandboxed (Mac App Store) and non-sandboxed versions. Users can configure extraction preferences such as destination folder, modification date handling, and whether to automatically open extracted files and delete the original archive.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe search results provided appear to reference The Unarchiver (a different product published by MacUpdate) rather than iZip Unarchiver itself. The bundle ID com.thebravesoft.iZipUnarchiver does not appear in recent public documentation, and no search results confirm the architecture status of iZip Unarchiver or whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. If iZip Unarchiver is still being maintained by its developer, contact them directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned before macOS 28 ships in September 2028, since an Intel-only build will stop launching on that release. As actively maintained alternatives with confirmed native Apple Silicon support, consider The Unarchiver (free, open-source), BetterZip (paid, feature-rich), or Keka (free, straightforward) — all run natively on M-series Macs and are updated regularly. macOS also includes a built-in decompression utility that handles the most common formats (ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2) without needing a third-party tool.
