Say hello to MacPacker, the archive manager for macOS. Open source, because essential tools should be free. Preview (nested) archives. Extract selected files. Creating or editing archives will follow. Inspired by 7-Zip, but without any claim to comparability. See the roadmap for more details.
- macOS 13.5 or later
Download the .zip file from GitHub Releases. Extract and move the app to the Applications folder. The app is sandboxed, signed, and notarized by Apple.
brew install --cask macpackerMacPacker use POEditor for managing translations. If you want to improve an existing translation or want to add a new language, go to the following page, sign up and make the edits.
Pull requests are welcome. Please note that MacPacker is in early development and there are still a few breaking changes coming up. Pull requests therefore might need some rework or wait time before they can be merged.
More info on how to contribute and on the architecture of MacPacker will be added soon.
