Mar 19, 2026Simply the best file archiver for macOS
I've been using Keka for about two years now and it's become an indispensable tool on my Mac. The seamless Finder integration means I can compress or extract archives in seconds with right-click or drag-and-drop. It handles every format I've thrown at it perfectly, and being free and open source just makes it even better. Honestly, it's so reliable I sometimes forget it's even running.

Mar 14, 2026Spoiled by a buggy unzipping experience
After years of using the built-in macOS unarchiver and The Unarchiver, I thought I'd give Keka a shot for its 7z and RAR support. It's simple to use, I'll give it that. However, it constantly fails for me when unzipping large files. I've had several 2GB+ ZIP archives fail to extract halfway through with a generic error, forcing me to use a different, clunkier tool to get the job done. It's a nice idea, but it's just not reliable enough for my needs. For a core function to fail so frequently makes the software feel like a beta product.
