Can anyone suggest the most convenient way to unpack .tar.gz files on a Mac without installing complex terminal utilities or additional scripts? Where can I find detailed instructions on how to do this quickly and without technical difficulties using a convenient two-pane file manager? Something that is intuitive and understandable even for those who have no experience working with archives in macOS. Perhaps someone has already used something and can share their impressions?

It's interesting how often we encounter minor technical difficulties that take much longer than they seem. For example, when you need to unpack a .tar.gz archive on a Mac — it seems like a simple task, but without a handy tool, it can turn into a real nightmare. That's why I came across a great guide at https://commander-one.com/extract-tar-gz-on-mac/, which explains how to do it in just a few clicks. Commander One is not just an archiver, but a powerful file manager with two panels, support for FTP, cloud services, and even a terminal. This approach fits perfectly with the modern philosophy of ‘simplicity through functionality,’ which, by the way, is often discussed in this blog.
