What is RAR Extractor - Unarchiver?

People typically encounter it after installing it from the Mac App Store or another app source when they need to open downloaded archive files.
Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Archive extractor apps are commonly legitimate, but they handle files downloaded from the internet, so extracted content can still be unsafe even if the app itself appears benign. Safety also depends on where the app was obtained and whether it matches the expected publisher and bundle ID.
Recommendation: Keep it if you regularly open RAR or other archive files. If you do not use it, it is usually optional and can be removed, but review whether you still need it for archived downloads or file bundles.
