That name would really fit a retro computing port for classic Mac. Given that the last few major releases of classic Mac OS were 7, 8 and 9. I glanced at the title and thought it could be that... Getting old I guess.

Edit: wow, I looked at the repo and there is no source, just points at a release download. I would call that straight up abuse of GitHub.

One of the recurring actions I need to keep helping other non-technical folks with in macOS is zipping with password. IF you can add that, it could become very useful for a lot of folks.

edit: Just found MacZip as another nice alternative that does it all. Would wish I could look at the code for security purposes.

Use a standard MacOS toolbar for your toolbar instead of rolling your own, it looks out of place.

Think more MacOS style would also instead of having that weird modal toggle at the top between creating and opening just have dragging to the dock icon or File>Open opens one, and File>New creates a blank one.

I don’t think YemuZip is open-source but I have been using it for the longest time I remember - decades! It just works.

Do the Github TOS allow the hosting of closed-source binaries?

Amazing, I've been looking for something like this for a long time

Does it or will it support zstd?

This is neat, but I don't see the source code on your GitHub -- should I?

What UI framework are you using? The headline says native, but the toolbar looks unusual for a Mac app.

I really liked the animated transition into a list after you dropped the zip file!

Is there any other MacOS archival app that lets one look at the contents before extracting (like WinRAR, say) without resorting to the terminal?

doesn't Keka already support 7-zip (as well as lieky any other format you may encounter)?
