  Keka is FOSS, supports 7z for both commission and decompression, and is native to macOS.

  rar has recovery records. i know it’s a somewhat niche feature, one far more popular in the ‘olden days’ especially in certain uh… ‘venues’… but it’s something i’ve always used when making backups with it.

  I like using peazip since it’s open source and includes 7-zip along with it
