PressZip opens and extracts ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, and Gzip archives in a single click - no more hunting for the right app every time a different file type lands in your Downloads.
It runs entirely on your Mac. There's no account to create and nothing is ever uploaded - your files never leave your computer.
Highlights
