Point it at a messy folder. RenameClick reads images and documents or transcribes spoken audio locally, then turns cryptic names like 8a095-4d0f6a90008b.pdf into clear names like Blood_Test_Results.pdf. Review the suggested filename and category folder before applying anything. Or index a folder once, find a file by describing what is in it, and rename it right from the results. After its one-time model download, the Local provider works with Wi-Fi off.

Local audio transcription
Rename audio files by what they say
Local transcription supplies speech context for naming. Long recordings are sampled; this does not identify songs.
- Install Audio Transcription and RenameClick Local AI in AI & Models.
- Add MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, or AAC recordings to the Rename workspace.
- Select Local AI to keep filename generation on your device.

A few practical questions about processing and purchases.
Do I need a dedicated GPU?
Not necessarily. Local AI can use CPU fallback where supported. A suitable GPU can accelerate processing, but time and memory use depend on your hardware, settings, and files.
What needs an internet connection?
Local file processing can work offline after the required model downloads. Initial downloads, license activation and recovery, and Apple purchase restoration need their own connections. Cloud providers need internet for analysis.
What do I install for audio naming?
Install Audio Transcription in AI & Models. For local filename generation, also install RenameClick Local AI and select it. Long recordings are sampled; this is for speech, not identifying songs.
What counts as one of the 100 monthly operations?
One successfully changed file uses one credit. Renaming and moving it together in one action uses one credit, not two. Analysis and AI Search use no apply credits; external cloud API fees are separate.
Can I ask for a specific filename structure?
Yes. Custom Instructions can specify fields, order, language, and missing values. With a custom prompt selected, ordinary Format and Output Language are disabled. Check extracted fields before applying.
Does my license cover the Mac App Store build?
Direct macOS and Windows share an email-linked license for up to 3 active devices. Mac App Store purchases are separate and restored through Apple; that build excludes cloud providers.
Can I use files in a synced cloud folder?
Yes, when their contents are available locally through the sync application. RenameClick does not browse cloud storage websites. Renames and moves can also be synchronized by your storage provider.
Can I check automatic folder rules before applying changes?
Yes. Start Auto Flow Watch with Auto Apply off to inspect suggestions. Enable Auto Apply for a row when you want it to make changes automatically while the app runs. Turn Watch off for Undo; history is not retained across restart.
