Genau das, was ich gesucht habe!

Diese App ist klasse! Die Installation und die Einrichtung ist sehr einfach. Nach der Installation einfach die App öffnen, den Zugriff auf Systemresourcen erlauben und die Einstellungen konfigurieren, die man gerne hätte. Schon ist die Einrichtung fertig, und man kann das super-simple Kontextmenü benutzen um Dateien anzulegen. Da alle anderen Apps, die ich dafür gefunden hatte, entweder nicht funktioniert haben oder auch kostenpflichtig zu haben waren und nicht vertrauenswürdig aussahen, bin ich froh, das Geld hier für eine funktionierende App ausgegeben zu haben. Ich benutze gerade OS X El Capitan auf einem Mac Book Pro 13 von 2015. Danke an den Entwickler! :)

First glance, seems good

Literally just installed this, very straight forward setup (grant permission in System Prefs, and set to run in background). BAM! Done. Shall report back if I come across any issues.

An absolute MUST!

I have been looking for such an utility for a very long time a finally I found it! I downloaded the free version and then realised it allowed to create just 1 type of file (selectable), but that’s ok, it’s free! Anyway, after testing it did exactly what I needed, I immediately purchased the full version. Very, very good job! Thanks a lot to the sw vendor. Luciano

Works great in El Capitan

Great little utility. Confirmed working in El Capitan v10.11.4.

Yup

Excellent. Works flawlessly. Extensions are there, either in the right-click or in the Finder window top bar. The option “open after create” just opens a Finder window with the new file selected. You still have to double-click on the created file to open it in its home app, but that’s livable-with (yeah, I know, ick on the grammar). Very happy with this.

OMG - Macs Can Now Right Click New Text Files in the Finder!!!!

I frequently need to add text files to files that explain what to do. On Windows you could simply right click with your mouse and choose New Text File. On Macs, you needed to find TextEdit, choose new, and choose save as and navigate to your file location. Total time sync. With NEW FILE MENU installed and enabled in my System Preferences > Extensions I can now right click with my mouse or two finger my track pad (or Ctrl click with an Apple mouse) and get access to a new host of options! New Text Files, New iWorks or Office documents or any other kind of app you want to add as a template. My Favorite New Template Setup? New File Menu Preferences > General > Turn on “Open file on creation.” New File Menu Preferences > Templates > + > add your favorite text app (mono draw, BBEdit, TextWrangler,TeXshop, etc LOVE THIS APP - THANK YOU CORAL WU!!

Windows user here...

After being driven up the wall at not being able to right click and make a new text file this is frickin’ great! I now use TotalFinder to make my folders show at the top and this to solve the remaining issue. :)
