A simple file for structured data

CSV files work across spreadsheets, databases, scripts, and business tools. Starting the file in the right folder keeps data cleanup and imports organized.

Skip the save dialog dance

Instead of opening a spreadsheet app first and saving a blank file later, CreateFiles+ creates the starter .csv file from Finder or Quick Create.

When a project needs repeated CSV files, a shortcut-driven workflow can save small amounts of friction all day.

  1. Open the destination folder.
