Batch unzip tool: pick a folder of .zip files and a destination folder, then run. Built for speed with an Anakatech-style UI.

Quick start

How to test with real files (before deployment)

1. Create test ZIPs
   Put one or more .zip files in a folder (e.g. C:\TestZips or D:\MyZips).

2. Choose destination
   Pick an empty or new folder where you want the extracted files (e.g. C:\UnzippedOutput).

3. In the app

   • Zipped files location → Browse → select the folder with your .zip files.
   • Unzipped files destination → Browse → select the output folder.
   • Click Start.

4. Progress
   A modal opens with “Hold My Beer!” and the 8-bit style animation. It processes all .zip files in the source folder.

5. Completion
   When done, a gamified popup shows the result. Click Close to dismiss.
