About

I'm David, an indie developer based in the UK. I build Mac and iOS apps - the kind of tools I wish already existed. If something I've made has saved you time or made your workflow a little better, that means a lot.

Prefab - Free macOS app for reusable project templates with variables and automation

Hey! Prefab launches on Product Hunt tomorrow (1st of Feb).

It's a native Mac app that lets you save folder structures as reusable templates. Drag in any folder, add fill-in fields like {{project_name}} or {{date}}, set up post-creation commands (git init, npm install, etc.), and deploy from the app, menu bar, or Finder right-click.

I've been using it myself for months for everything from spinning up new dev projects to organising client folders. It's free, no account needed, no tracking.

Prefab - Your projects, pre-built - Project templates for macOS. Build once, deploy anywhere.

Most project template tools are either CLI, tied to a specific ecosystem, or way too complicated for what should be a simple problem. Drag in any folder to turn it into a template. Add fill-in fields like {{client_name}} or {{project_date}} that get replaced when you deploy. Set up post-creation commands like git init or npm install to run automatically. Deploy from the app, menu bar, or right-click in Finder. It works for devs, designers, writers, freelancers. Free, no account, no tracking.
