Free tool

Generate a blank starter file in your browser.

Create a starter file for common text, data, web, code, config, and script formats. For everyday Mac workflow, CreateFiles+ creates these files directly from Finder, the menu bar, or a shortcut.

The file is generated locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Why this tool exists

Sometimes you just need a quick blank file. This generator is useful anywhere, but CreateFiles+ is built for the faster Mac workflow: create the file directly in the Finder folder where it belongs.

File types this generator supports

Use it for quick starter files like Text, Markdown, JSON, CSV, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Python, Swift, YAML, XML, and shell scripts. The Terminal command preview is included for people who prefer the command line, while CreateFiles+ covers the same daily need from Finder.

Generate a JSON starter file

Choose JSON when you need a quick config, fixture, API example, or structured note. The generator downloads a starter .json file, and CreateFiles+ can create the same kind of file directly in a Finder folder.

Working in a project folder? CreateFiles+ lets you create the JSON file from Finder without downloading then moving it.

Generate a CSV starter file

Choose CSV for quick data entry, spreadsheet imports, exports, and small structured lists. The browser tool is good for one-off downloads; CreateFiles+ is better when the file belongs in a specific Finder folder.

Skip the save dialog and create the CSV where it belongs.

Generate a Markdown starter file

Markdown is useful for README files, project notes, changelogs, specs, and lightweight documentation. CreateFiles+ can create .md files directly beside the work they describe.

Start notes and docs in the folder where they belong.

Use the web generator for a quick download. Use CreateFiles+ when file creation is part of your daily Mac workflow.
