Create file and folder structures with plain text
Simply write the file and folder structures you want to create and organize them with tabs. It’s fast, private, and easy to use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we only store your email and machine identfier. Nothing else. Your templates, files, folders, and structures are stored on your own machine. The app only communicates with the server to validate the license. If you use the AI creation feature we don´t store it, but we do use Google Gemini to answer your questions. Stripe also handles the payment process and saves some data for billing purposes.
Commercial use is any use of the app that used in a business or organization of more than 2 persons. If you are using it for personal use, or at school, it is not commercial use. If you are using it for your business, it is commercial use. If you are unsure, please contact us.
The app itself is not open-source yet. It might be at some point in the future. However, our blank files repository and the core of the app (what powers file creation, copying, renaming, etc.) are both open-source at github.com/filearchitect
All file types are supported. Any line with an extension will create a file. If a blank file is available it will be used. If not, an empty file will be created.
Blank files are files that are created as blank rather than empty. An empty file is a 0 byte file. This is perfect for a text file, but not for a binary file like a pdf, docx, psd, etc. By creating blank files instead of empty files, it will allow you to open them in the right application right away and start working.
Probably yes. If you know how to use a terminal, you can use it to do some of this with touch, mkdir, cp, mv, etc. We explain more how to create structures with a terminal in this blog post. With that said features like quick structure design, copy and move with renaming, AI assistance, blank files, etc. will be complex to implement with a terminal.
