How it gets into Finder.A small Finder extension.
macOS adds menu items through Finder extensions.
MagicMenu's extension shows your templates and favorites.
Yuzu does the real work on your Mac.
The menu also works on external drives.
Your files stay on your Mac.There is no upload step.
No network
MagicMenu has no upload and no account. It never sends your files anywhere.
Asks first
Yuzu works only in folders you allow. For a new folder, Yuzu asks before it acts.
No hotkeys to learn.Just right-click.
MagicMenu adds menu items, not keyboard shortcuts. The new file window uses the usual keys.

Why is the menu missing on my Desktop?

Which templates are there?
Ten built-in ones: Text, Markdown, Word Document, Excel Workbook, Rich Text, HTML, JSON, CSV, Python Script and Shell Script. The first four are on at first. Add Template… turns any file with an extension into a template.
Why is a favorite missing from Move To?
It is hidden when the files are already in that folder. It is also hidden when it sits inside a folder you selected.

Up to 200 items. With more, the menu shows “Too many items (max 200)”.
Does it upload my files?
