What this app is. What it isn’t. What you could build.

One-liner

A lightweight, no-frills app for opening, extracting, and creating ZIP and 7Z archives on iOS without requiring cloud storage or complex workflows.

Strengths

Fast extraction of ZIP and 7Z files with minimal overhead (review: 'works instantly, no lag')
Supports both ZIP and 7Z formats natively, rare in free utilities
Clean, minimal interface focused solely on file operations (review: 'no ads, just the tools I need')
No internet permission required—privacy-focused by design
Handles large archives efficiently (review: 'extracted a 2GB file in under 30 seconds')

Weaknesses

No built-in file browser—users must import files via Files app or sharing extension (review: 'why can’t I browse my iCloud Drive?')
Limited customization: no password recovery, no split archive support
No progress bar during extraction (review: 'feels stuck when processing big files')
No search or filter function inside archives (review: 'I have to open every file to find what I want')
No batch operations (e.g., extract multiple files at once)

Opportunities

Add native file browser integration with iCloud Drive and local folders
Introduce batch extraction and selective file filtering within archives
Implement password recovery hints or smart guess features for forgotten passwords
Add support for RAR and TAR formats to expand compatibility
Build a simple UI for managing extracted files (move, rename, share) directly from the app
