Is there a free rar extractor for mac?

Hey guys,


So I just downloaded a bunch of old project files from an external drive, and a lot of them are in .rar format. When I tried to open them on my Mac (running Sonoma on M2), macOS just says it can’t open the file.


Is there a best RAR extractor for Mac that works well on Apple Silicon? I just need something simple that can unpack a few archives quickly without any setup hassle.


Would love to hear what you guys use!

Sounds similar to the promotion scam from earlier today where a user was trying to self promote their products with fake questions. Hopefully this is not another one of those "Fox" related promotions and will withhold posting the link.


You can go to the App Store and search for RAR Extractor and you will find many options that are free, where you can see their ratings and also read any reviews. It is a simple tool and you should have no problem with any of them.
