RenameClick

What is RenameClick?

RenameClick is a privacy-focused desktop application designed for macOS and Windows users who need to organize and rename large volumes of files efficiently. The tool leverages a local AI model built directly into the application to analyze file content—images, documents, PDFs, and more—and generate meaningful, descriptive filenames. Rather than relying on generic naming rules or manual input, RenameClick understands what's inside each file and creates contextually appropriate names. All processing happens locally on your device by default, ensuring complete privacy with no file uploads to external servers. For advanced workflows, users can optionally integrate cloud providers like OpenAI or Google Gemini, or local LLM solutions such as Ollama and LM Studio. The platform includes batch processing capabilities, multiple organizational presets, custom naming instructions, metadata extraction from EXIF data, and support for multilingual filename generation.

Key Features

• Content-Based Intelligent Renaming

  Analyzes the actual content within files—text, metadata, visual elements—to generate meaningful and descriptive filenames that reflect file purpose and context rather than generic defaults.

• Batch Processing and Organization

  Process hundreds of files simultaneously with preview capabilities, allowing bulk renaming and automatic categorization into folders using customizable presets tailored to specific workflows.

• Local-First Privacy Architecture

  All file processing occurs locally on your device using an embedded AI model with no internet requirement by default. Optional cloud provider integrations available for users who prefer external processing.

• Flexible AI Provider Support

  Default local processing with optional integrations to OpenAI, Google AI, Ollama, and LM Studio, allowing users to choose between privacy-first local execution or cloud-based advanced capabilities.

• Custom Naming Rules and Metadata Extraction

  Define custom AI instructions for domain-specific naming conventions, extract specific fields from documents (dates, amounts), and leverage EXIF metadata from photos for pattern-based filenames.

• Comprehensive File Format Support

  Supports wide range of image formats (JPG, PNG, HEIC, GIF, WEBP, SVG, TIFF) and document types (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, RTF, ODT) with multilingual filename generation across 14+ languages.

Use Cases

• Photo Library Organization : Photographers and content creators can automatically rename and organize vacation photos, product shots, or archive images by analyzing visual content and EXIF metadata for consistent, searchable naming.
• Document Management : Small business owners and professionals can organize invoices, receipts, contracts, and reports by content, transforming generic filenames into descriptive documents ready for archival and retrieval.
• File Repository Cleanup : Users managing mixed media collections can batch-process hundreds of scattered files across different formats, automatically sorting and renaming based on content to create clean, organized digital libraries.
• Research and Academic Workflows : Researchers and students can organize research papers, datasets, and supplementary materials by extracting key information from content, enabling faster discovery and consistent categorization.
• Content Management for Creators : Digital asset managers and content teams can automate file organization workflows, ensuring consistent naming conventions across large volumes of user-generated or client content without manual effort.
