Ez7z
Ez7z is a simple file compression and decompression utility for macOS that works with 7z archives. It provides a lightweight, graphical interface to compress files into 7z format and extract existing 7z files without requiring command-line tools. The app is primarily used by users who work with 7z-compressed files and prefer a basic GUI tool over terminal-based archivers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionEz7z appears to be an inactive or archived project with no recent updates visible — the most recent search result is dated 2017. There is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build, and the vendor does not appear to be actively maintaining the app. Since Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), an Intel-only build of Ez7z will stop working on that release. For 7z archive handling on Apple Silicon Macs, the open-source p7zip remains the most direct alternative and runs natively when installed via Homebrew (brew install p7zip). For users who prefer a graphical interface, The Unarchiver is a modern, actively maintained file decompression app that runs natively on Apple Silicon and handles a wide range of formats including 7z, though it is primarily designed for extraction rather than compression. If you need both compression and decompression in a single GUI tool, contact the Ez7z developer to determine whether a native build is planned, otherwise plan to migrate to one of these alternatives before September 2028.
