You can still use a timer in a console app, there is even an example in the documentation for Timer.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer(v=vs.110).aspx

You can then use FileInfo to create a file, or DirInfo to get all existing files from your directory if you need to work out the name of your new file.

You need a Timer:

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    System.Threading.Timer timer = new System.Threading.Timer(new TimerCallback(DoSomething));
    timer.Change(0L, 60000);
    Console.ReadLine();
    }
private static int fileNo = 1;
private static string strPath = @"D:\Temp\file";
private static void DoSomething(object state)
    {
    File.WriteAllText(strPath + (fileNo++).ToString() + ".txt", "The text to write");
    }
