StuffIt Destinations
StuffIt Destinations is a file compression and archive utility for macOS that handles ZIP, StuffIt (.sit), RAR, and other compressed file formats. It is part of the StuffIt family of compression tools, historically used for creating, extracting, and managing compressed archives. The application was developed as an archiving solution, particularly useful in professional and consumer workflows that involved transferring or storing large files. StuffIt Destinations has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer actively maintained or supported.

1 suggestionStuffIt Destinations has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer under active development or support. Although the app will continue to function under Rosetta 2 for now, it will stop launching entirely when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). Since the vendor has abandoned the product, a native Apple Silicon build is extremely unlikely. For file compression and extraction going forward, consider switching to one of several native alternatives: The Unarchiver is a free, lightweight, open-source utility that handles most compression formats with minimal setup. Keka is a polished, paid alternative with a user-friendly interface and broad format support. Both run natively on Apple Silicon and are actively maintained. macOS also includes native ZIP support built into Finder, which handles common .zip archives without any third-party software. If you have archives in proprietary StuffIt format (.sit), verify whether any of these alternatives can extract them before fully migrating away, or keep StuffIt running under an older macOS version if format support is critical to your workflow.
