Offline AI FileSorter & Renamerfor Mac & Windows

RenameClick is a local-first desktop app for macOS and Windows that renames, organizes, and searches files by their actual content instead of messy original filenames.

Drop in photos, PDFs, or documents, review AI-generated names and categories, then apply changes when you're ready. AI Search helps you find files by meaning, and Auto Flow can watch folders like Downloads or Scans and process new files automatically.

By default, processing runs on-device with the built-in local model, so no cloud is required. Optional providers such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, Alibaba Cloud, LM Studio, and Ollama are available if you want a different setup.

RenameClick also supports right-click integration in Finder and File Explorer, EXIF-based naming patterns, custom instructions, and undo/redo.

A dedicated GPU with 4GB VRAM is recommended for the best experience. Local LLMs run fastest on a GPU. If you use a CPU or have insufficient VRAM, RenameClick will use your system RAM, which is roughly 10-20x slower.

Processing speed depends heavily on your GPU: the more powerful the graphics card, the faster RenameClick can analyze files. For example, an RTX 4060 processes about 1 file in ~0.7 seconds, so 1,000 files take about 700 seconds - about 12 minutes. Local processing still runs one file at a time for stability, and large images, multi-page documents, CPU fallback, LM Studio CPU inference, or cloud provider/network choice can change the real result.

The default local model is intentionally small, so you should not expect miracles from it. It handles the vast majority of renaming and sorting tasks well, but some specialized workflows need a smarter and larger model. In those cases, use LM Studio or Ollama as providers and choose a model that fits your PC resources, from Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct-GGUF up to Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct, or newer and stronger models as they become available.

Yes. RenameClick is offline-first: local AI runs on your device and works without an internet connection. If you choose cloud providers (OpenAI, Google AI, or Alibaba Cloud Qwen 3.5 Flash), those features require internet and your own API keys.

Drag and drop your files into RenameClick. The AI analyzes file content and suggests descriptive names. Review the suggestions and apply them with one click to batch rename hundreds of files.

Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, BMP, SVG, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF. Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, RTF, ODT.

Yes! You can process unlimited files for free - AI generates names and categories for every file you drop. AI Search by content is also free for all users and does not consume credits. You get 30 credits per month to apply changes that modify files on disk (rename or move). For unlimited apply actions, upgrade to Pro Monthly ($8/mo) or Pro Lifetime ($48 one-time).

Yes. Use Rename only. Files stay in their current folder, and RenameClick only changes the selected filenames when you apply.

Yes. Use Categorize only / Move to folder. Files keep their original names, and RenameClick moves them into folders chosen by AI categories, metadata folders, or Match folders.

Yes. Metadata folder presets can build folder paths from dates, EXIF fields such as location, camera, and lens model, raw metadata fields, and fixed text. Missing values can use a configured fallback folder.

Yes. Format patterns can combine AI-generated names with file dates and EXIF placeholders such as $exif{date}, $exif{camera}, $exif{city}, $exif{country}, or any raw EXIF field. EXIF placeholders work for images with EXIF data; file date placeholders work for all supported files.

Yes. Custom Instructions let you write your own naming prompt for a workflow, such as extracting vendor, invoice number, and date from invoices. The prompt controls the filename output; sorting still uses the file content and selected sorting preset.

RenameClick's AI File Sorter organizes files into folders using saved sorting presets. The File Organizer UI can use AI categories to read file content and choose from presets like Documents or Media Files. Metadata folders build paths from date fields, EXIF fields, and text levels, such as Location / Year / Month / Day. Match folders scans the selected output folder and lets AI route new files into its existing subfolders, for example client or project folders. If no Match folders destination is a reasonable fit, the file stays uncategorized and is applied to the output folder root.

Local AI Settings let you fine-tune the local AI engine to match your hardware. You can adjust: Context Size (token window, affects memory usage), Text Trim (max characters from documents), Custom Prompt Length (character limit for instructions), and Max Categories (expand from 8 to 20). A token calculator shows estimated usage for different scenarios. Access via the gear icon next to Local provider in Provider Settings.

RenameClick is available for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows. Download the version that matches your operating system from the official website.

RenameClick includes a ~4GB local AI model optimized for understanding file content. This model delivers the best balance of quality, speed, and system efficiency - providing accurate results without requiring internet access or cloud processing.

Yes, if the cloud provider's desktop sync app makes the files available in Finder or File Explorer. Drag the synced files or folder into RenameClick, or use Auto Flow on the local synced folder. Browser-only cloud folders are not supported.

Yes. Auto Flow watches folders for new or changed files and can rename, categorize, and move them automatically. Each watch row has its own source, destination, format, prompt, language, sorting preset, and Auto Apply setting.
