The RAR for Mac OS X package comes with a 40 days trial period and features the rar and the unrar tools, rar for creating archives and unrar for extracting RAR files. In other words, RAR for Mac OS X is not as simple to use on Mac as it was on Windows. Unfortunately, RAR for Mac OS X does not offer a user interface and all operations must be run from a Terminal window.
RAR for Mac OS X is a command line tool specially designed to help users compress, uncompress and encrypt files in the RAR format. Fortunately the developer of WinRAR offers a Mac version called RAR for Mac OS X. If you recently switched from Windows to Mac, you probably what to know what is the equivalent of WinRAR on Mac. NOTE: If you need a user-friendly RAR interface for macOS, we recommend UnRarX. After archiving data including a lot of directories, Unix RAR could display less than 100% total progress percent, even though it added all specified files and directories to archive.It can be useful if only the archive type or total information is needed. Switch -idn hides archived names also in 'v' and 'l' commands.
