HatchZip is a free, open-source archive extractor for Windows, macOS and Linux that extracts ZIP, 7z, RAR, tar and split archives in place, so it needs free space for the extracted files only. Desktop app and CLI.
HatchZip is a Rust extraction tool that unpacks archives in place: it extracts from the end of the archive and deletes consumed parts as it goes, so you only need disk space for the output, not the output plus the archive. It supports ZIP, 7z, tar, RAR volume sets and split archives, checks that files will fit before starting, and is crash-safe and resumable.
Why now: It is trending on GitHub's most-starred new repos, likely due to its fresh release offering a genuinely different approach that saves large amounts of disk space compared with 7-Zip or unzip.
Who it is for: Anyone extracting huge archives, like game downloads, on disks too small to hold both the archive and its contents.
