Purrchiver: RAR/Zip/7z & more

Archive, compress & encrypt

Only for Mac

Free · In‑App Purchases

Mac

Archive, compress & encrypt — together or separately. Opens zip, RAR, 7‑Zip, tar & more. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. No account. Free, one optional unlock. Purrchiver does three things — archive, compress, and encrypt — and lets you combine them or use each on its own. Bundle a folder into a zip or tar, shrink a single file with 7‑Zip or gzip, or lock a file behind a passphrase. It opens and extracts everything else too — RAR, encrypted, and multi‑part archives included — without the ads, subscriptions, or tracking that have crept into other archive tools. No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. Period. Three Tools, One App Use them together — a compressed, encrypted archive in one step — or reach for just one: • Archive — bundle files and folders into a single container. ZIP and tar are free; 7‑Zip, ISO, and CPIO come with the unlock. • Compress — shrink a single file to send or store. gzip and bzip2 are free; xz, zstd, brotli, lzip, lz4, and 7‑Zip come with the unlock. • Encrypt — lock a file or archive behind a passphrase. Opening and decrypting is always free; creating encrypted archives (encrypted ZIP/7‑Zip, age, or an encrypted DMG) comes with the unlock. Free to Start Purrchiver is free to download and a complete tool out of the box. Open and extract every supported format — RAR, encrypted, and multi‑part archives included — preview any file inside with Quick Look, test an archive's integrity, and batch‑extract a whole folder of archives at once. Creating the common formats is free too. One Unlock, No Subscription A single one‑time purchase unlocks the advanced tools — no subscription, ever, and every future feature included: the advanced formats above, encryption authoring, split and multi‑volume archives, editing archives in place, converting archives to other formats, batch create and encrypt, custom presets, and automation via Shortcuts, Spotlight, and Siri. Edit Archives in Place Add or remove files inside an existing archive without unpacking and repacking the whole thing. Convert to a Better Format Open a proprietary or read‑only archive and re‑save it in an open, modern one. Turn a RAR into a 7‑Zip or ZIP you can edit and share anywhere, or migrate a legacy encrypted file — like Encrypto's .crypto — into AES‑256 or age. Pick the new format and encryption in one step. Fast by Default A multithreaded engine that puts every core to work, so creating 7‑Zip, tar.xz, and ZIP archives runs faster than the tools built into macOS — with no trade‑off in size. Right in Finder Press Space on an archive to preview its contents without opening it. Right‑click any file or folder to compress, extract, or encrypt it — Purrchiver's Finder actions work without launching the app. Built for Privacy • No ads, no analytics, no tracking, no third‑party SDKs • The app has no network access at all — nothing you open ever leaves your Mac • App Privacy label: Data Not Collected • App Sandbox + Hardened Runtime; reads only the files you explicitly choose Drag, Drop, Done Drag an archive in to open it; drag files out to extract them — with clear error messages when a file is wrong, not cryptic codes. Purrchiver is made by one person. Email goes directly to me.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

- Reworked the Finder Services menu into five clear actions: Open, Extract, Archive, Compress, Encrypt. - Extract from Finder now prompts for a save location instead of failing with a permission error. - Fixed the first right-click action sometimes opening an empty window.
