📄 New File+
Right-click, create, automate — your own Finder context menu.
Getting started
- Open the New File+ app once and click Open Extension Settings.
- Enable the New File+ Finder extension.
- Right-click inside any folder — your menu items appear.
Frequently asked questions
Right-click the Finder toolbar → Customize Toolbar… → drag New File+ into place. Clicking it shows the same menu.
Open the New File+ app → Add… → choose a built-in action or Custom Shell Script…. Names can include emoji. Drag rows to reorder; the checkbox disables an item without deleting it.
Scripts run with /bin/zsh in the folder you clicked.
Two variables are set: $NFP_TARGET (the folder's path) and
$NFP_SELECTION (selected files, one path per line).
Every script must pass Test Run first: it executes in a throwaway folder and must exit 0. If it fails, the output is shown so you can fix it — New File+ only accepts scripts that run cleanly.
Applying the setting requires Finder to relaunch, which macOS gates behind a one-time permission. Click OK the first time; you can change it later under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation.
Check that the extension is enabled (open the app — the status line tells you), then relaunch Finder: hold ⌥ Option, right-click the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose Relaunch.
