To add options to the right click context menu in Finder on OSX Mojave when no items are selected, follow these steps:

  1. Open Terminal from Applications->Utilities or press "Command + Space" to launch Spotlight and search for Terminal.

  2. Type the following command and press enter: cd ~/Library/Services/

  3. Type the following command and press enter to create a new Automator workflow: Service

  4. Next, choose "Service receives no input in Finder" as the input type for the new workflow.

  5. Add any actions you want to perform on the right-click menu, such as "New Terminal Window Here" or "Compress Selected Items."

  6. Save the workflow by choosing a name and then clicking "Save."

  7. To see the new options in the right-click context menu in Finder, right-click anywhere in a folder with no items selected, and you should see the new options at the bottom of the menu.

Note: Some actions may require additional permissions or software to be installed, such as Homebrew or other command-line tools.
