RARity 0.1.4 now brings its most common archive actions into the native Windows 11 right-click menu. The refreshed Windows package was built on September 15 and published on September 17, 2026, after its menu registration and beta-signing checks were completed.
Archive actions where files already are
Windows 11 users can reach RARity from File Explorer’s modern first-level context menu instead of opening the complete archive workspace for every job. The compact diamond icon keeps the entry recognizable without turning the system menu into a second application window.
The full RARity app remains available for deeper archive work, including testing, conversion, splitting, joining, and the broader set of supported formats.
A native Windows 11 integration
The menu is implemented as a native Windows package rather than a legacy shortcut placed only under Show more options. It is designed for 64-bit Windows 11 and registers for the current Windows user.
Windows 10 users can still install and use the RARity desktop app, but the first-level modern menu is specifically a Windows 11 capability.
Pinned beta identity checks
The native-menu package is signed with the included Good Tools RARity Beta certificate. Before registering the package, the installer verifies the certificate identity, expiry, and exact signing match so a different package cannot silently reuse the expected setup path.
The certificate is trusted only for the current Windows user when needed. RARity records that trust relationship so the menu can be removed cleanly later.
Release status
The refreshed Windows installer replaces the earlier 0.1.4 Windows asset on the official MadeByGoodTools release. The Apple-silicon Mac installer is unchanged.
The main Windows installer remains an unsigned public beta, so Windows may still display an unknown-publisher warning before installation. The separate signature described above applies to the native-menu package inside the installer.
