File Organization Tools

16 apps

File organization tools cover archive handling, alternative file managers and automated sorting. macOS's Archive Utility handles ZIP, but RAR, 7z and many other formats need a third-party app, and automation tools can file downloads and documents into the right folders by rule.

The Unarchiver opens most archive formats for free, Keka creates and extracts archives including 7z, and BetterZip lets you browse and edit archives without extracting them. Hazel watches folders and moves, renames or tags files based on rules you define, and muCommander is an open source dual-pane file manager. Several are available on the Mac App Store.
