About Marta
Marta is a dual-pane file manager for macOS written entirely in Swift. It works with both keyboard and mouse, and treats archives like folders. It can write ZIP files, open RAR, 7Z, XAR, TAR, ISO, CAB, LZH and other formats, and edit files inside nested archives.
Configuration uses a small DSL that is easy to edit and share. It comes with five themes and lets you make your own. Plugins are written in Lua. The developer states that Marta does not collect user data.
