We’re launching SmartZip Pro: ZIP, RAR & 7Z — a utility app for iOS devices that brings robust archive management to iPhone and iPad users.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smartzip-pro-zip-rar-7z/id6756...

What it does

SmartZip Pro is designed for users who routinely work with compressed files on iOS:

Extract archives in all common formats: ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ, ISO directly on your device. App Store

Preview contents without unpacking — photos, videos, audio, and documents can be opened inside the archive. App Store

Compress files into ZIP with AES-256 encryption for security. App Store

Browse files like folders and manage them (rename, duplicate, move, share) all within the app. App Store

Cache cleaning and space reclaiming to help keep devices lean. App Store

Why it’s useful

iOS has improved file handling over the years, but native support for archive formats beyond ZIP remains limited. SmartZip Pro fills that gap with:

Quick previews without full extraction (saves time and storage). App Store

Secure ZIP creation with industry-grade AES encryption. App Store

A file-centric manager tailored to compressed data workflows. App Store

Target audience

Developers / engineers who receive archived logs, datasets, or shared ZIP/RAR releases on the go.

Students / researchers managing course materials or shared data.

Anyone needing a reliable, ad-free archive utility on iPhone/iPad.

Platforms & Compatibility

iPhone & iPad (iOS 17+)

Mac (macOS 14+ with Apple M1/M2)

VisionOS & Apple Watch support planned/available as applicable. App Store

We’re keen to hear feedback from the HN community — what formats, workflows, or features you’d like to see next (e.g., multi-part archive handling, scripting/automation support, CLI integration via Shortcuts, etc.).

Thanks for reading and please let us know what you think.
