iArchiver is the missing archive tool for Mac: it helps you create, extract and convert archives with a beautiful and enjoyable drag and drop interface.
Some features designed to make your life easier:
- Simple and fast redefined. Extracting archives was never simpler and faster: with iArchiver’s quick extract all you need to do is drag your file onto the iArchiver icon in the dock and your files will extract in-place.
- Watch and see. With iArchiver’s progress reports when creating, extracting and converting archives you always know what’s happening.
- When ignore becomes bliss. iArchiver now gives you the option to ignore Mac-specific files such as .DS_Store and resource forks to make your files more accessible to Windows and Linux users.
- At the pulse of time. iArchiver is Leopard-ready so you can enjoy all its features on the newest version of your favorite OS.
iArchiver supports the following formats:
- creates Zip, DMG, 7-zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2 and CPIO archives
- extracts Zip, Rar, StuffIt (.sit), DMG, 7-zip (.7z), HQX, LhA, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, RPM, JAR and CPIO archives
- converts between the above formats
Let iArchiver handle your archiving needs — effortlessly and elegantly (tell me more).

I’ll have to check this out. I’ve been using Betterzip (http://betterzip.com/), which is a solid and useful application, for quite a while now. From this app’s screenshot and description, it looks like it doesn’t really compare with Betterzip. However, I’ll go ahead and check it out. Who knows, I may be surprised.
Anyone who has used both of these apps or other OS X archiving utilities, it would be nice if you could post a brief comparison. Thanks.

As a long time user of BetterZip, I’d also be interested in a comparison.

I should add that BZ has coped fine with everything I’ve thrown at it so far. Not sure what iArchiver offers in addition to BZ…

Never used better zip or iArchiver. iArchiver looks like it has a more streamlined and better UI then BZ though. BZ looks a bit to busy to me in the UI department. Havent used either, my comparison is simply by the Screenshots/Screencasts.
That said I think I will try out iArchiver as it handles stuffit files and I really dislike the official Stuffit Expander.

Thank you to all those that took the time to try out and comment on iArchiver.
Our sincere thanks also to Mike Biksup and his team at macZOT! for the fantastic support.

Does anyone know how this compares to Springy (http://www.springyarchiver.com)? It also includes a CM.
