Mac's default Archive Utility just dumps every file out the second you open a zip. No preview, no way to grab just one file, and still no native RAR support which is wild in 2026. Built Unzipr to fix that - you can browse what's inside an archive before extracting anything, pull out only the files you actually need, password protect your zips, compress with 7Z. Made with Flutter and native Swift, clean glassmorphic look on macOS.
Hey PH 👋
Built this because I was sick of macOS's Archive Utility just extracting everything the moment you open a zip. No preview, no grabbing one file out of a huge archive, and somehow still zero native RAR support.
So Unzipr lets you preview what's inside before extracting, pull just the files you need, password protect zips you make, compress stuff down with 7Z when needed.
For anyone curious on the build - it's Flutter for the UI, native Swift doing the macOS-specific heavy lifting (sandboxing, Keychain for a password vault, security scoped bookmarks for folder access). Honestly getting through App Review was harder than building half the features. Got rejected twice, happy to share what went wrong if anyone's dealing with IAP or subscriptions on their own Mac app right now.
It's free to try, would really appreciate any feedback, especially what's missing or what'd make this an easy install for you.

Does the RAR support actually cover splitting and recovery records, or just basic extraction? That part matters a lot for the big archives I get from clients.

@nuray4hh6 Great question! Right now, Unzipr focuses on reliable extraction of standard RAR archives, including password-protected ones. Multi-part archives and recovery records aren't supported yet, but they're high on our roadmap since they're important for professional workflows like yours. Thanks for pointing this out!

does it actually let you preview files like images and text docs inside the zip before extracting, or just show the file list

@zkanhactahmw6g Its actually preview list of files, Preview of specific files are in works, those are the future enhancements.

how does this play with password-protected 7z files that use AES-256, does it handle those smoothly or only the basic zip encryption

@eatayurt72035 Yes, 7z's only real encryption standard is AES-256, so that's exactly what Unzipr handles for extraction

the glassmorphic look actually looks like it belongs on macOS instead of feeling bolted on, which is rare for Flutter apps. nice call mixing it with native Swift where it counts.

Finally a mac zip tool that lets me peek inside before extracting everything. The glassmorphic look is genuinely nice too, feels right at home on Sonoma.

The preview-before-extract is honestly something I didn't know I needed on Mac. Also pulling just one file out of a giant zip without unpacking everything feels like a small miracle.
