iUnarchive
iUnarchive is a file extraction utility for macOS that unpacks compressed archives in common formats including ZIP, RAR, 7z, Gzip, Bzip2, Xz and Tar. It is designed as a lightweight alternative to the system Archive Utility, offering a simple interface for decompression tasks and support for password-protected archives. Users typically rely on it for batch extraction, handling non-standard archive formats, and quick access to compression tools without installing larger third-party applications.

1 suggestionWe could not find recent information about iUnarchive's native Apple Silicon status in available search results. The developer's site does not appear to be actively maintained, and there is no clear documentation confirming whether a native Apple Silicon build exists. Given that we are now 28 months away from the September 2028 deadline when Apple removes Rosetta 2 entirely, you should contact the developer directly to ask whether they intend to ship a native Apple Silicon build before macOS 28 arrives. If the developer does not respond or has discontinued the app, consider switching to a maintained native alternative: The Unarchiver (free, actively maintained, with confirmed Apple Silicon support and excellent archive format coverage), Keka (paid, feature-rich, native), or BetterZip (paid commercial option with native support). All three run natively on M-series Macs and receive regular updates, so they will continue to work reliably once Rosetta 2 is removed.
