Prefab
Your projects, pre-built
Only for Mac

Mac
Templates for everything. Your projects, pre-built. Capture project setups - folders, files, and configurations - as reusable templates, then deploy them instantly.
Every project starts the same way: the same folder structure, the same starter files, the same boilerplate. Prefab captures all of it once, then deploys it whenever you need it.
Create templates your way
Build templates from scratch or import existing project folders. Define your folder hierarchy, add starter files with content, and customize with folder colors and icons. Your templates, your workflow.
Dynamic placeholders
Use variables like {{project_name}}, {{client}}, or {{date}} in folder names, file names, and file contents. Prefab prompts you for values when deploying, so each project gets personalized naming while keeping consistent structure.
Deploy from anywhere
- Right-click any folder in Finder and select "New Folder(s) from Template"
- Access your templates instantly from the menu bar
- Deploy directly from within the app
Automate the setup
Configure post-creation actions to run automatically after deployment. Initialize git repositories, install dependencies, open projects in your favorite editor, or run custom shell scripts - all hands-free.
Built for professionals
Whether you're a developer scaffolding code projects, a lawyer setting up client matter folders, a researcher organizing experiments, or a creative managing asset deliverables - Prefab adapts to how you work with persona-specific starter templates and features.
Powerful blueprint editor
Design your templates visually with an intuitive folder/file tree editor. Set folder colors that appear as Finder tags, add icons to folders, and edit file contents directly in the app.
Native macOS experience
Designed exclusively for Mac with a clean, intuitive interface. Integrates seamlessly with Finder via the right-click menu, respects your system appearance, and runs efficiently in the background from your menu bar.
Stop recreating the same project structure over and over. Build it once with Prefab, deploy it forever.
