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.
Create JSON files from FinderGenerate 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.
Create CSV files from FinderGenerate 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.
Create Markdown files from FinderOpen the same workflow in Finder with CreateFiles+
This browser tool is intentionally simple. CreateFiles+ brings the same blank-file idea into macOS with Finder, menu bar, and shortcut workflows for Text, Markdown, JSON, CSV, HTML, code, script, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint starter files.
Use the web generator for a quick download. Use CreateFiles+ when file creation is part of your daily Mac workflow.
