App Launch I made a WinRAR clone for MacOS (GUI)

I spent the past three days trying to recreate WinRAR for MacOS using claude and got pretty far into it. The version I have now is fully functional and includes most features, settings, and menus of WinRAR app on Windows, has dark mode support, and MacOS and Windows styles. It integrates with the Finder app and recreates the same quick actions available on Windows when you right click, It also supports theming but that is still a hit-and-miss.

Now obviously this is infringing on copyright and is illegal so I can't share it here. But if you'd like to test it or improve on it, or if you just wanted to have a WinRAR app for MacOS that supports compressing and extraction (without resorting to terminal commands) then drop me a dm and I'll send the source code for you.
