ALZip
ALZip is a free file compression and archive utility for macOS that can create, extract and convert compressed files in multiple formats including ZIP, RAR, 7Z, ALZ and EGG. It is designed as a simpler, more user-friendly alternative to commercial tools like WinZip, with an uncluttered interface that guides users through compression and decompression tasks. The app includes built-in malware scanning for extracted files and supports over 40 compressed file types, making it a versatile utility for anyone regularly handling archives.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionALZip has not received meaningful updates since at least 2019 based on available information, and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon build. The app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so ALZip will stop launching entirely on that release or later. Rather than wait to see if ESTsoft ever ships a native version, consider switching now to a maintained alternative: Keka is free, actively developed, runs natively on Apple Silicon, and handles the same archive formats ALZip supports. The Archive Utility built into macOS itself (which appears automatically in Finder) also handles ZIP and many other formats without needing a separate app. If you need advanced features like batch processing or ALZ/EGG format support, Keka is your best native replacement.
