⚡ Features

Everything You Need to Reuse Project Starters

PushPullit helps Mac developers turn starter folders, boilerplates, and useful codebases into a searchable template library. No CLI. No generator config. No extra dependencies.

📂

Save Any Folder

Select a project folder and save it to your library in seconds. PushPullit scans the files, detects the framework, and stores the template locally.

🔄

Create with Find & Replace

Create a clean copy from any template. Automatic find-and-replace works across filenames and file contents, so "MyApp" can become "ClientProject" in one step.

🏷️

Tags, Search & Favourites

Tag templates by framework, language, or client. Full-text search across names, descriptions, and notes. Star your most-used starters.

📊

Builder Stats & History

Track every copy with timestamps, destinations, and replacements used. See saved templates, copies, and file counts across your whole library.

🔍

Browse Every File

Expand the full file tree of any template and preview file contents before creating a copy. You always know what you are reusing.

💾

Export & Backup

Export your entire template library as a single backup file and import it on another Mac. Your starter collection travels with you.

🚀 How It Works

Three Steps. Zero Config.

Save a folder once, organise it with useful details, then create a clean copy whenever you need a new project. No terminal commands. No setup scripts. No template syntax to learn.

1

Save

Drag or select any project folder. PushPullit scans it, detects the framework, and adds it to your local template library.

2

Organise

Add tags, notes, and descriptions. Search and filter your library. Favourite the starters you use most.

3

Create

Choose a template, pick a destination, set your find-and-replace values, and create a fresh project copy in seconds.

🤖 AI-Ready

Built for the AI Coding Era

PushPullit turns useful AI-generated starter projects into reusable templates you can keep. Use Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, or Claude to generate a scaffold, then save the good versions so you do not have to recreate the same starter twice.

Generate once, save it to your library, and reuse it whenever a similar project comes up. Your AI-generated code becomes a permanent, reusable starting point.

📚 Project Template Guides

Practical Guides for Reusing Starter Projects

These quick guides answer common questions about Mac project templates, boilerplate folders, AI-generated scaffolds, and reusable starters for React, Next.js, SwiftUI, and Vue.

How do I manage project templates on Mac?

Save starter folders, tag them by framework, and create clean copies whenever a new project begins.

How do I save AI-generated code for reuse?

Save the useful scaffolds from Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Claude, ChatGPT, v0, and Bolt before they disappear into one-off folders.

What is a Mac alternative to Cookiecutter?

Use a native GUI instead of Python generators, Node tooling, terminal commands, or config files.

Can I save React, Next.js, SwiftUI, and Vue starters?

Yes. PushPullit saves any folder, so it works with framework starters, client projects, reusable assets, and app boilerplates.

When PushPullit Makes More Sense

Command-line scaffolding tools are powerful, but they can be overkill when you simply want to save a folder and reuse it later. PushPullit gives Mac developers a visual, local-first alternative.
