ArchCommander 2.4 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesArchCommander is a Mac archive manager from MPL Software Studio, the small team also behind the MaxCommander file manager. Its idea is simple: treat an archive like a folder you can work inside, instead of a box you must fully unpack first. You can peek into ZIP, RAR, TAR and older formats such as ARJ and LHA/LZH, pull out only the files you need, or add and remove files from archives that support modification. It also plugs into Finder, so common archive jobs are a right-click away.
Key Features
- Browse and work inside archives without extracting the whole file
- Extract selected files or everything, and create brand-new archives
- Add or remove files in existing archives where the format allows it
- Finder integration: unpack and create archives from the context menu
- Quick Look plugin to preview archive contents in Finder with the space bar
- Filename encoding selection for archives created on non-Unicode systems

FAQs
Is ArchCommander free?
There is a free version, and the full app is a low one-time purchase rather than a subscription. Buy it from the developer or the Mac App Store so you receive updates.
Can it open RAR files?
Yes. ArchCommander opens RAR along with ZIP, TAR, ARJ and LHA/LZH archives, and its encoding option helps when filenames inside older archives were created on non-Unicode systems.
