A head start, every time

Keep the parts you always reuse.

Your headings. Your formatting. Your project essentials. Start each new file with the work you have already done.

Give every project a familiar start

Keep your README structure ready, with the sections you want in every new project. Create it directly in the project folder.

Bring your own documents

Use a file with your own formatting and content as the template for new documents, spreadsheets, or presentations.

Set up several folders in one go

Select several folders and create a copy in each. Useful when the same starting file belongs in every client or project folder.

Your template. Your starting point.

Begin with a built-in starter or use a file of your own. Give each Action its own file name and template, so a project README and a weekly report can each have a place in your menu.

  • Existing files stay untouched
  • Edit your template whenever you need
  • File creation stays on your Mac
