Zipmunk Free Pro $7.49 once Opening a RAR, a 7z or a ZIP is the easy bit, and Zipmunk does it for free. Pay once and it does the rest without being asked: new downloads unzip themselves, zips inside zips come all the way out, and anything you send can leave your Mac locked with a password.
Native Mac app, macOS 26 and later. iPhone and iPad companion on the way. No account, no ads, no servers.
What your Downloads folder looks like with Auto-Unzip on. You did not click anything.
No trial, no ads, no nagging. Double-click an archive and the files come out next to it.
Zipmunk Pro · one payment of $7.49
Turn it on once. From then on every archive that lands in Downloads (or any folder you pick) comes out by itself, and the files are waiting for you before you even look. Multi-part RARs wait until the last part has finished downloading. Locked ones use the passwords you have already typed.
The client sends a ZIP with three more ZIPs inside, one of them a RAR with a 7z in it. Zipmunk keeps going, up to three levels deep, until you have plain files. Things that are a zip on the inside but meant to stay whole, like .epub, .apk or comics, are left alone.
Flip one switch while squeezing and the archive is encrypted. ZIP opens anywhere with the password; 7z hides even the file names; a locked DMG opens on any Mac with a double-click and no extra app. You type the password twice, so a typo can never lock you out of your own files.
Same one payment. No feature is held back for a higher tier, because there is no higher tier.
Drag files onto the squirrel in the menu bar from anywhere, all day: Finder, Mail, the Desktop. They pile up in its cheeks, and when you are ready you squeeze the whole pile in one go.
Press Get Link next to anything you just squeezed and a download link from your own iCloud Drive is on your clipboard. Paste it anywhere. The files never touch our servers, because there are none.
Get files containing invoice from Archive Split Files into 25 MB parts Get details of Archive 
Unzip, Squeeze and Convert are free in the Shortcuts app. Pro adds List Archive Contents, Get Files from Archive, Split File into Parts and Get Archive Details, so you can build your own automations.
Type a password once and it goes into your iCloud Keychain, tied to that archive. Next time it just opens. On a new locked archive it tries your last few first, because people reuse them.
Too big for email or Discord? Pick a size (email, Discord, WhatsApp, DVD or your own) and get several smaller zips that each open on their own, on any computer.
Add, delete or rename files inside a ZIP, 7z or TAR. No unzip, no re-zip. A locked archive stays locked with the same password.
Read .cbr, .cbz and .cb7 page by page, right to left for manga. It remembers the page you got to in every comic.
Need one PDF from a 4 GB archive? Drag it from the list straight to Finder or any app. Only that one file gets unzipped.
A password-protected DMG that any Mac opens like a USB stick. The right way to send private files to someone on a Mac.
Coming to iPhone and iPad
Someone sends you a RAR and you are not at your Mac. The companion app opens it on your iPhone or iPad, and it is the same purchase: Pro unlocks everywhere you are signed in.
Share a zip from Mail, Messages or Safari to Zipmunk and it comes out in your files, without leaving the app you were in.
Everything goes to iCloud Drive › Zipmunk or On My iPhone, and the space-bar peek works in Files too: see inside a RAR before opening it.
One purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad. Your saved archive passwords follow you through iCloud Keychain.
Forever, with no ads.
Yours for good. Nothing to renew, nothing to cancel.
Try first: the one-off Pro features come with 3 free uses each. Prefer to support the app as it grows? The same Pro is also $0.49 a month or $4.99 a year. US prices; the App Store shows yours in local currency.
Yes. Unzipping RAR, 7z, ZIP and the rest, opening password-protected archives, looking inside, squeezing, converting and the Finder right-click actions are all free, with no ads, no trial and no account. Zipmunk Pro is an optional one-time purchase that adds the automatic and power features.
No, not unless you want it to be. Pro Lifetime is a single payment of $7.49 (US price; the App Store converts it in other countries) and it is yours for good. There is also a $0.49 monthly and a $4.99 yearly option, which unlock exactly the same Pro, for people who prefer to support the app as it grows.
Yes. Locking with a password, editing archives, splitting, locked DMGs, the comic reader, dragging files out and iCloud links each come with 3 free uses, so you can see them working on your own files first.
It needs Zipmunk running, so when you turn it on the app keeps going quietly in the background with a small squirrel in the menu bar, and it can start at login. Only archives that arrive after you switch it on are unzipped; the old ones in your Downloads folder are left alone.
No. The RAR compressor belongs to its inventor and no third-party app is allowed to write RAR. Zipmunk opens every RAR (RAR 4 and 5, locked, multi-part) and can convert any of them to ZIP or 7z in one click.
No. Everything happens on your Mac. Zipmunk has no servers and no analytics. Saved passwords live in your own iCloud Keychain, and the optional share links are made by Apple from your own iCloud Drive.
Yes, a companion app for iPhone and iPad is on the way. It is the same app on the App Store, so Zipmunk Pro is bought once and unlocks on your Mac, iPhone and iPad with the same Apple Account. Saved passwords travel between them through your iCloud Keychain.
Free to unzip anything. $7.49 once to never think about it again.
