Keka VS Rectangle

Keka isn't open source. It's not even source-available! https://github.com/aonez/Keka/blob/fb4292000cf946e6a022d0281...

> The source code of Keka 1.0 will not be public due some legal issues. Legal support is needed, if you can help the project, please get in contact on [email protected] or the Project page on the official Keka website. Any help is welcome.

While not identical in functionality, I highly recommend Keka: https://www.keka.io

Keka - Price: Free File archiver for macOS that supports many file formats, including ZIP, RAR, and 7-Zip.

Since RAR decompression is listed, I'll assume you mean compression:

https://github.com/aonez/Keka/wiki/Rar-compression

Sounds like it is a licensing issue more than anything? People still compress to RAR?

Step 3: Right click the duplicated EXE and click Open With> and select the extraction program of your choice. If you do not have one, I recommend Keka, which can be downloaded here https://github.com/aonez/Keka/releases/latest for free or purchased on the Mac App store if you would like to support the developer (https://mas.keka.io/)

Or course it may not be what you wanted, since you may download RAR files other than videos; and you may want to change the default application to RAR utilities, such as The Unarchiver or Keka.

Keka is an awesome unarchiver

Textual¹ is open-source but sells the precompiled app. Keka² has the app available for free on GitHub but charges for it on the Mac App Store, to support development.

Keka is a really good archive tool on macOS

Rectangle’s installation is incredibly straightforward. Its immediate out-of-the-box functionality was a pleasant surprise. For anyone seeking to reduce the friction of window management on their Mac, Rectangle is a solution I wholeheartedly recommend.

Tip: I use Rectangle app to set up keyboard shortcuts to resize windows (I only have three shortcuts there: left/right half of the screen and full screen).

But Raycast also has some functionality in that direction.

Two more little utilities that I cannot live without on Mac:

A tiling window manager like https://rectangleapp.com/

Muzzle, which automatically silences desktop notifs when you're screensharing https://muzzleapp.com/

I suggest using Rectangle instead of Magnet; it has the same features but is free. I don't know what other Windows features you want to have.

I’ve used this app forever. Adds in all the window snapping features.

third-party window management apps like Magnet and Rectangle

Rectangle Mac - Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas, similar to Windows.

I was a Spectacle user for years, but I recently switched to using Rectangle for window management. Rectangle has a few more options than Spectacle; I’m still getting used to it but I have no strong feelings either way.
