Usage Tip

General tips for archive extraction and archive creation:

Long-press files and folders or click file/folder icons to select them for archiving.
Click a file to display the extraction menu for choosing extraction options.
Files extracted using the "Open With" menu of the OS are stored in Internal Storage/ZipXtract by default. Modify this in app settings.
The default location for archiving or extracting archives (within the app) is the parent directory of the respective file(s). This can be changed in the app settings.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
