## What it is
NanaZip is a fork of 7-Zip redesigned for modern Windows, featuring a Fluent Design UI, Windows 11 context menu integration, and dark mode. It extends 7-Zip's format support with formats like Zstandard, Brotli, LZ4, WASM, and Electron ASAR, and adds security mitigations enabled by default.

## Use cases
- extract zip archives on windows 11 with modern context menu
- open electron asar files
- compress files to zstandard format
- dark mode file archiver for windows
- smart extraction of archives with single root folder
- secure archive tool with package integrity checks

## When to choose
- you want a modern, Fluent Design archive manager on Windows 10/11
- you need formats beyond 7-Zip's defaults like Zstandard, Brotli, or ASAR
- you want security mitigations and Group Policy configurability in an archiver

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform archiver for Linux or macOS
- you prefer the classic lightweight 7-Zip interface
- you need command-line-only batch compression scripting
