CleanArchiver
CleanArchiver is a macOS utility for managing and organizing archive files. It allows users to create, extract, and browse compressed archives in various formats, simplifying file compression workflows. The app was designed for users who frequently work with ZIP, RAR, 7z and other archive formats and want a dedicated tool rather than relying on system utilities.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCleanArchiver has been discontinued and is no longer supported by its developer. Although historical records indicate a universal binary was built at some point, the app is no longer maintained or distributed. The Intel build still runs under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning CleanArchiver will stop launching entirely on that release. For archive management going forward, consider The Unarchiver (free, Mac App Store or direct download, actively maintained and runs natively on Apple Silicon) or Keka (also free, native Apple Silicon support, with a paid version offering additional features). Both handle the same common archive formats that CleanArchiver supported and integrate cleanly with Finder.
