Description
Generate realistic data in seconds. Perfect for developers and testers who need smart, custom datasets for demos, prototyping, and stress testing. Optimized for macOS 15.
Smart, fast, and realistic data generation for developers, testers, and power users.
Data Creator is a powerful macOS app that lets you generate large volumes of custom, realistic data in just a few clicks. Whether you're a developer, QA engineer, or designer, it's the perfect tool for prototyping, stress-testing, and showcasing apps and websites using meaningful, heterogeneous data.
With a rich internal database of over 50 field types — including names, countries, dates, addresses, email formats, and more — you can build datasets that look real and varied. Define your own structure with flexible fields, custom prefixes/suffixes, date ranges, and number ranges. Then export your records to CSV, TSV, HTML, or any custom format.
Highlights:
• Generate thousands of records in seconds
• Choose from 50+ data types: names, animals, colors, fruits, emails, and more
• Use realistic locale-aware names (e.g., US, German, French, Italian)
• Add custom columns at any time
• Apply formatting: prefixes, suffixes, decimal settings, and custom date ranges
• Manage records like a mini-database (add, delete, sort, undo, refresh)
• Save reusable document templates with full data structure
• Export in CSV, TSV, HTML, or user-defined custom formats
• Clean and intuitive native macOS interface
• Supports tabs, autosave, full-screen, merge, undo, and the latest macOS features
Perfect for:
• Generating demo or placeholder data for apps and websites
• Stress-testing data structures with tens of thousands of records
• Creating realistic datasets for QA and UI/UX testing
• Producing sample data for spreadsheets, reports, or dashboards
• Demonstrating app behavior with believable sample content
How it works:
Choose your columns — from common data types to unique or randomized fields
Set options like quantity, formatting, and field-specific rules
Generate and preview your dataset
Export to your desired format — or save for future editing
Data Creator streamlines your data generation workflow with power, flexibility, and simplicity. Whether you're building a database mockup, testing performance, or just need smart-looking data, it’s your go-to tool.

Ratings and Reviews
Very nice but something is missing!!
This is an advanced data generator that is missing to create the most important field in a DB, the id or index. There is no way to create a field with an id data in ascending way like 1,2,3.... n, or id1, id2,...id n. Don't get me wrong I like it a lot but this simple feature could make it PERFECT!!
Nice Application
I found this app easy to use and helpful in my work. I do have some recommended feature additions, if the developers are interested. It would be nice to have an option to select a unique number (within a given range). For example, in a horse race every horse has a unique post position typically ranging from 1 to about 25 at most. It would be nice to select the number in range feature and tick a box that makes sure the autonumber selected is unique for each record generated. As it is now, I have to go in and delete duplicated numbers. For a small list that’s not a big issue, but I think such an option could be easy to add and helpful. Keep up the good work.
Doesn’t work
Well, it doesn’t work. Least not on Mavericks, and the developer just keeps telling me it must be my computer, because it can’t possibly be the app. I can’t Export anything, it doesn’t do anything. No error messages or any indication that there’s a problem, just doesn’t do anything. Also, whenever I re-open the app, the first field of all Records returns to gibberish - the original content of the field - when you create Records, they are automatically filled in with gibberish and the first field does not retain your entries... The app interface leaves much to be desired. The fields do not automatically switch to Uppercase or Lowercase if you select say “Alphanumeric Uppercase” for instance. It doesn’t matter what you select for any field actually, you can still type in whatever you want. You have to manually add each field, there’s nothing ‘smart’ about the app. For instance, there’s no Preferences to set for this app, other than one option regarding what to do at startup.
I have been in contact via several emails, including screenshots, step by step, but there was no solution so I deleted it from my system.
