RAR Extractor – Unarchiver Pro
A Mac App Store utility for opening and creating compressed archives—RAR, ZIP, 7z, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, ISO, PKG, XIP, JAR, and many more—with double-click extract, batch jobs, and optional encryption for private files.
RAR Extractor – Unarchiver Pro by 青青 余 targets everyday Mac users who receive archives from Windows colleagues, download firmware images, or juggle project bundles without opening a terminal. You can decompress password-protected archives when you know the password, run batch extraction on multiple files, double-click an archive to unpack beside the original, or drop archives on the Dock icon for a quick unpack. The Pro build also compresses and encrypts files to build protected archives, and the listing advertises no ads compared with free-tier siblings in the same product family.
Typical Mac workflow
Download a .rar or .7z attachment, double-click to extract to the same folder, or drag ten encrypted archives to the Dock icon and let the app apply one password across the batch. For distribution, select files, create an encrypted archive, and share a single package. Formats span common Unix and Windows types plus macOS-oriented containers such as PKG, XIP, and DMS; the vendor notes that some EXE files are video payloads rather than archives and cannot be unpacked as compression. The app is compact (about 7–8 MB), supports broad macOS versions back to 10.7 on the listing, and is localized in multiple languages including English, Russian, and Simplified Chinese.
Licensing is a one-time Mac App Store purchase (listed at $3.99) with Family Sharing. Privacy notes indicate the developer does not collect data from the app. It is not the same SKU as Elimisoft’s separate “RAR Extractor – Unzip File” line—this Pro title is the paid, ad-free Unarchiver Pro edition under the 青青 余 developer account.
Version 6.6.1
Build 6.6.1 is a minor release on the 6.6 branch; the Mac App Store What’s New text currently documents 6.6.0 (June 1, 2026) with no separate 6.6.1 entry. Verified 6.6.0 changes fix EXE extraction—regular EXE archives unpack, while Windows installer EXE binaries may yield embedded resources such as images rather than a full file tree—and cite general performance improvements. Treat 6.6.1 as a small follow-up maintenance build unless the store listing updates with dedicated notes.
