New Text File

macOS

The missing little right-click.

Create a text or Markdown file exactly where you need it. A small native Finder extension that puts a Create New submenu where it belongs, without opening an editor or a terminal first.

A small action, exactly where it belongs.

  1. 01

    Choose a folder

    Use the location you are already working in, including writable mounted drives.

  2. 02

    Create New

    Choose a text or Markdown file from Finder's right-click submenu.

  3. 03

    Give it a name

    The new file is selected and ready to rename. Existing files stay untouched.

Just enough. Done properly.

Right where you are

Right-click a Finder background, folder, or file to create a new document in the relevant folder.

Text or Markdown

Start with an empty .txt or .md file. Finder selects it so you can give it a name and get on with your work.

Small, not careless

Existing files are never overwritten. Numbered names keep each new file distinct, including on writable mounted shares.

No analytics, account, or direct network connection. The Finder extension creates a file only when you invoke its command; NAS access uses the existing mounted filesystem.

A few useful answers.

Yes, on writable mounted volumes, including NAS shares. Read-only or disconnected locations cannot accept a new file.
