File Architect is a file structure builder for Mac that turns plain text into organized folders and files. Instead of clicking through Finder one folder at a time, just write your structure, use tabs to nest, press create, and move on with your work. It’s especially handy for developers, designers, content teams, and anyone who starts projects often. Save reusable templates, generate structures with AI, and create valid working files for dozens of formats — from .docx to .psd. Think of it as scaffolding for your files. Minus the terminal commands and tiny mistakes.
