May 27, 2026Solid for basics, but some quirks hold it back
Keka is my go-to for quick compression and extraction on my Mac, especially since it's free and integrates perfectly with Finder via drag and drop. However, I've had a few random crashes when dealing with very large or password-protected archives, which can be frustrating. For everyday use, it's great, but I don't fully trust it for mission-critical tasks.

May 22, 2026Great Features, But Bugs Make It Unreliable
Keka's format support and seamless Finder integration are exactly what I needed, but the frequent crashes while extracting some RAR archives make it frustrating to depend on. The interface is simple, but these stability issues have forced me to keep a paid alternative installed just in case.

May 19, 2026Essential, Simple, and Completely Free
As someone who frequently needs to unpack various file formats received from Windows users, Keka has been a lifesaver. It integrates perfectly into the Finder context menu, so I can right-click any archive and extract it instantly. The ability to create compressed files with strong encryption is also incredibly useful and straightforward. For a free tool, it's incredibly polished and just works without any fuss.

May 18, 2026Frustratingly unreliable for basic tasks
While the concept of a free macOS archiver is appealing, Keka consistently fails with simple operations. It frequently crashes when dealing with password-protected ZIP files, and extracting large RAR archives often stalls at random percentages. The Finder integration is spotty at best, with the contextual menu sometimes not appearing at all.

May 14, 2026Essential macOS tool that just works
After years of frustration with other archiving tools on macOS, Keka has become my go-to solution. It integrates perfectly into Finder's context menu and handles every format I encounter without issues. The free price point makes it an incredible value compared to the bloated commercial alternatives.

May 13, 2026Does the job, but can be clunky
Keka is my go-to for unzipping RAR files on Mac since it's free and integrates nicely with Finder. However, I've had a few issues where it would stall on larger archives or give cryptic error messages, forcing me to find another tool. For basic tasks it's perfectly fine, but don't expect a perfectly smooth experience every time.

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.
