## Project goals

The goal of the project is to create a lightweight and user-friendly macOS app for extracting archives, especially RAR files. After failing to find suitable free and open-source solutions, I decided to develop my own, focusing on simplicity, speed, and reliability.

In the future, I plan to add new features based on user feedback to make the app even more useful.

## Features

- ✅ Extract RAR archives

- ✅ Decrypt and extract password-protected RAR files

- ✅ Preview archive contents, including file names, types, and sizes

- ✅ Drag-and-drop support

- ✅ Lightweight and fast

- ✅ Simple, intuitive interface

- ✅ Optimized for Apple Silicon (M1/M2)

- 🔄 Dark mode support

- 🔄 More archive formats support
