Keka

Keka provides a graphical interface for creating and extracting archive files on macOS. It supports a wide range of compression formats such as 7z, ZIP, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, and can handle extraction of many additional types including RAR, ISO, and DMG. Users can drag and drop files or folders onto the application, select a desired format and compression level, and Keka will generate the archive in the chosen location.

The tool is aimed at macOS users who need a straightforward way to manage compressed data without relying on command‑line utilities. Its integration with the Finder context menu and support for password‑protected archives make it convenient for everyday file sharing, backup, and storage tasks. Because it is open‑source, the source code is publicly available and can be audited or modified by the community.

Keka is distributed as free software under an open‑source license and is considered stable for regular use. It does not require a subscription or payment, and it runs natively on recent macOS releases, providing a lightweight alternative to proprietary compression utilities.
