v0.1.2 · today
Rust tool that extracts ZIP, 7z, tar and split archives in place, shrinking each archive as files are written out.
Why you might care
Useful when free disk space is tight, since it only needs room for the extracted output rather than output plus the archive. It checks that extraction fits before starting, keeps a safety margin, and can resume after a crash or stop. Available as a GUI installer for Windows, macOS and Linux.
