Create files from templates

Who it helps

Anyone who begins work from a repeatable structure: Markdown notes, scripts, project configuration, meeting records, or delivery documents.

What you gain

Add a template in New Files, then choose it from Finder in the destination folder. There is no need to open another editor, duplicate an old file, and clean it up first.

Manage templates, enabled state, and ordering from the app.

The same clear template hierarchy is available in dark mode.

Configure a template

1. Open New Files and add an item.
2. Set its display name, filename or extension, initial content, and optional icon.
3. Save it and test it in a destination folder in Finder.
4. Order templates by frequency and disable anything you do not need.

User	Example template	Benefit
Developer	README.md, .gitignore, Python or Shell script	A dependable start without copying an old project
Content team	Article outline, interview notes, weekly report	Every item begins with the expected structure
Operations	Meeting minutes, project tracker, delivery checklist	Less inconsistent formatting and fewer missed fields
