May 10, 2026Simple, Powerful, and Just Works
Keka has completely replaced The Unarchiver for me on my Mac. I love how seamlessly it integrates into Finder—right-clicking any archive to extract it is effortless, and dragging files onto the dock icon to compress them is brilliant. It handles every format I've thrown at it, from simple ZIPs to password-protected RARs, without any fuss. For a free and open-source tool, the reliability and clean design are exceptional.

May 08, 2026Effortless compression for macOS
Keka has become my go-to utility for managing archives. It's incredibly easy to use with seamless Finder integration and drag-and-drop simplicity, yet it handles everything from simple ZIP files to more complex formats like 7Z and RAR flawlessly. The fact that it's free and open-source just makes it an unbeatable value for any Mac user.

May 07, 2026Effortless compression on macOS, completely free
Keka has been my go-to archive tool for years. It's incredibly simple—just drag and drop to compress or extract almost any format. The Finder integration and menu bar access make it feel like a native part of macOS. It's powerful, fast, and the fact that it's free and open source makes it an unbeatable value.

May 06, 2026Solid but with some quirks
Keka handles most common compression tasks perfectly and I love how seamlessly it integrates into Finder. However, I've had a few instances where extracting certain password-protected RAR files failed, forcing me to use another app. It's incredibly convenient as a free tool, but those occasional hiccups are a bit frustrating.

May 05, 2026Frustrating and Unreliable
Keka constantly fails to open encrypted RAR archives from colleagues, which is a major workflow blocker. The Finder integration is supposed to be seamless, but the contextual menu often fails to appear when right-clicking files. For a tool that's supposed to simplify file management, it creates more problems than it solves.

May 04, 2026A Must-Have Tool for Any Mac User
Keka has completely replaced The Unarchiver for me because it's just as simple but handles more formats, including creating archives. I use it daily from the Finder contextual menu or by dragging files onto its icon in the dock—it's incredibly intuitive. Being free and open source is the cherry on top, and it's never crashed or failed to open an archive I've thrown at it.

May 03, 2026My go-to archive tool for macOS, simple and just works
As someone who frequently shares and receives compressed files, Keka has been a lifesaver. It integrates perfectly into Finder via the contextual menu and menu bar, so I can compress or extract archives with just a couple of clicks, often using drag and drop. It handles all the formats I need, like ZIP, RAR, and 7Z, without any fuss. The fact that it's free and open source is just the cherry on top.

May 02, 2026A solid free option, but with some rough edges
Keka gets the basic job done as a free, native macOS archive tool. Compressing and extracting common formats like ZIP and 7Z from the Finder right-click menu is incredibly convenient and fast. However, its interface feels a bit dated and it sometimes hangs on very large or complex archives, requiring a force quit. For a free tool it's excellent, but I wouldn't call it flawless.
