Zipgeist is a macOS application that mounts archive files (ZIP, RAR, etc.) as Finder volumes using FSKit, allowing users to browse and extract files without full unpacking. It addresses a long-standing gap in macOS compared to Windows Explorer's native archive browsing, with the added benefit of faster extraction than existing tools.

Target audience: macOS users, developers, power users
