Zip, Stuff it and CD burn Software Needed

[Imac Sam]

I finally upgraded to Catalina and now I find I need the following programs. Can anyone recommend some free alternatives or apps in the store that are worthy:

1. I am searching for something that will handle ZIP, Stuffit, and 7z files that will allow me to encrypt and unencrypt with a password on these files. I previously had Stuffit Deluxe, but it appears that it may no longer supported. There are many listed in the app store, just not sure which to pick.

2. Some cd/dvd burning software which will allow me to also burn cd music disks or save the disc as an ISO file. I previously had Toast.

Thanks for you efforts.

Well, zip is natively supported by macOS anyway.
I don’t really know Stuff It honestly, but The Unarchiver can do pretty much any archive format
I’ve never checked if it supports passwords, but it probably does. And if not, password encrypting anything is built into the OS anyway, since OpenSSL is a standard program on Macs.

openssl aes-256-cbc -salt -in secretfile.txt -out secretfile.txt.aes
enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:

To decrypt it again just add the -d flag.
But yeah, The Unarchivier is great, and it probably has it all built into the GUI program anyway.

Well... macOS. Between Disk Utility, Finder and Music I don’t see any functionality lacking

Burn/Disk Utility and Keka/The Unarchiver.

I don't think there's anything current that will create a StuffIt file, if that's what you meant…which I don't think you did.
