A context menu utility for Mac. Create files, copy and move items, convert images, and work with ZIP archives in Finder. Configure in the main window; act where your files already are.

SparkleRightThe file is here.
The file is here.
So is the action.
Keep repetitive file work in context: create from a template, organize into favorite folders, convert an image, or archive a set of materials. Menus show applicable actions for the selection, with clear access prompts and results.
Copy, move, cut, and paste
Choose a favorite or another destination directly. Copy retains originals; moves require confirmation. Copying and moving stop on name conflicts instead of overwriting.
Convert images and icons
Generate PNG, JPEG, HEIC, WebP, ICNS, macOS iconsets, or iOS appiconsets beside originals. Animated images use the first frame; transparent JPEG output gets a white background.
Create and extract ZIP archives
Archive multiple selected items into one ZIP or extract several ZIPs into separate new folders. Preserve and restore Mac extended attributes, with safety and size checks before writing.
Paths, information, and everyday tools
Copy names, paths, and file URLs, inspect information and checksums, create aliases or empty folders named after files, and open items with a chosen app or system Terminal.
Choose actions and scope
Enable actions individually, manage favorite folders and menu scope. Three interface languages apply immediately to app and menus. Use system Services in special locations.
Made for real moments
01 / SparkleRight
Act beside the file. Configure in the app.
Select items in Finder and choose a context-menu action. Submenus for creating, copying, and moving offer templates or destinations directly. Separate result windows appear when needed, without importing files into the configuration page.
The image shows the real fallback Services action menu with a demonstration file context. When a cloud or file provider hides Finder extensions, find the entry containing SparkleRight in system Services for the same applicable actions.
- Commands follow the current selection
- Services opens directly to available actions
- Locate generated results after creation or conversion
02 / SparkleRight
Start with the right kind of file.
The templates page brings built-in formats and imported templates together. Create text, Markdown, JSON, and other lightweight files; Office entries use valid DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX templates.
Import a real template to save an app-managed copy for reuse while retaining the original. Back in the destination folder, choose it from the context menu. New files avoid name collisions and are selected in Finder.
- Eight text-based and three Office formats
- Import your own real templates
- Create in the current folder without overwriting

03 / SparkleRight
Reach favorite folders with fewer detours.
Add frequent destinations to favorite folders for Copy To, Move To, and menu bar navigation. Optionally select folders that define where context menus should appear.
Favorite destinations, menu scope, and file-access authorization serve separate purposes. Removing a list entry does not delete its folder or revoke saved access. Manage access separately in app settings.
- Favorite folders support destinations and navigation
- Limit menu scope to selected folders when needed
- Removing a list entry keeps the original folder and files

Keep the actions that belong in your workflow.
The context-menu page groups file organization, image tools, archives, attributes, and quick actions. Switch actions on individually and choose whether to collect them in a SparkleRight submenu.
Images, folders, and multiple selections offer different applicable commands. Check the target before changing files. Permanent deletion, owner-write permission changes, and moving folder contents out start disabled.
- Browse groups and choose individual actions
- Optionally collect actions in a submenu
- Higher-risk actions start off and retain confirmation

Keep extension setup and access easy to find.
App settings bring extension setup, saved access, login launch, and menu bar visibility together. When an operation first needs permission, use the system picker to select the folder containing the files.
Local processing does not bypass system access rules. Download cloud files first; read-only drives support reading and copying out. Reauthorize when a reconnected drive, moved folder, or expired grant requires it.
- Enable the Finder extension in system settings
- Manage and remove saved access entries individually
- Pause from the menu bar; closing the main window keeps actions available

Why we made it
Everyday file actions should not require a tour of several windows. Keep actions beside the files you are working with and settings available when you need them.
SparkleRight
From enabling the entry to completing an action.
- 01
Enable the extension and confirm access
Open extension settings from the app and enable SparkleRight. Select the containing folder when access is requested; menu visibility does not grant read or write access.
- 02
Choose templates, destinations, and actions
Select useful actions and prepare favorite templates and folders. Switch among Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English without changing filenames or template contents.
- 03
Return to Finder and right-click
Select items or open a folder’s background menu, confirm moves where requested, and check results. In special locations, use the SparkleRight entry in system Services.
Q&A
A few things before you begin
Can I download it now?
Like SparkleShot, it is preparing for Mac App Store distribution and has no public download yet. The current project is a 1.0.0 development preview. Store links, pricing, and dates depend on the actual release.
Which Macs are supported?
macOS 15 or later is required. The current local build includes Apple silicon and Intel architectures. OS versions, file systems, cloud providers, and extensions still need practical compatibility checks; a local build is not App Store approval.
What if the menu is missing in cloud storage?
Select files or folders and find the entry containing SparkleRight in system Services. Download cloud files first and grant folder access if prompted. Not every file provider exposes Finder extensions.
Will it overwrite or delete originals?
Creation, conversion, aliases, and extraction produce new results, with numbering for generated-name collisions. Copy and move stop on conflicts; moves require confirmation. Trash handles one item at a time. Permanent deletion additionally requires the complete filename and cannot be restored from Trash.
Can it extract RAR or 7z?
Current archive actions target ZIP, not RAR or 7z. Limits are 10,000 entries, 1 GiB per file, and 2 GiB total per archive. Symbolic links, special files, unsafe paths, or other failed safety checks stop processing with an explanation.
Does Cut move files immediately?
No. Cut temporarily stores references while originals remain in place. Choose Paste Move in the destination and confirm to move them. Pending cut references are not retained after quitting.
Can it repair garbled filenames?
Preview a candidate name and confirm before renaming. Contents remain unchanged, and name conflicts stop the operation. Encodings and origins differ, so review candidates rather than assuming every filename can be repaired.
Are file contents uploaded automatically?
The current app has no account, telemetry, cloud sync, or updater; file actions run locally. AirDrop, opening another app, synced folders, or browser use involve services governed by their own rules.
Does revoking access immediately remove every system permission?
No. The manager removes the app’s corresponding saved grant. Some current access may last until the app quits. Access also depends on the system, file system, and separate grants.
Where are the documents?
This website provides privacy, terms, software-license, and third-party documents. The similarly named button in the current app still has no URL and is disabled; use this website’s document entry.
