RenameClick

Rename and auto-sort files with offline AI

2026-01-22

Product Introduction

  1. Definition: RenameClick is an offline-first AI-powered file management utility for macOS and Windows. It operates as a local content analyzer and organizer, processing files without cloud uploads.
  2. Core Value Proposition: It solves chaotic file management by transforming unstructured filenames (e.g., 8a095-4d0f6a90008b.pdf) into descriptive, searchable names (e.g., Blood Test Results.pdf) while auto-sorting files into user-defined folders—ensuring privacy, efficiency, and workflow customization.

Main Features

  1. Local AI Content Analysis:

    • How it works: Uses on-device LLMs (default: 4GB local model) to scan file contents (text, images) without internet. Supports optional local/cloud providers (Ollama, LM Studio, OpenAI, Google AI) via API keys.
    • Technologies: Optimized transformer models for text extraction, OCR-free image understanding, and multilingual NLP (supports 12+ languages).
  2. Custom Preset Organizer:

    • How it works: Users create folder structures with custom categories (e.g., "Invoices," "Travel Photos"). AI assigns files to these categories using semantic matching.
    • Technologies: Rule-based sorting combined with AI similarity scoring; supports 8–20 categories (expandable via Local AI Settings).
  3. Batch Processing & EXIF Integration:

    • How it works: Processes hundreds of files in parallel. Extracts EXIF metadata (e.g., $exif{date}, $exif{city}) for dynamic naming via placeholders.
    • Technologies: Multithreaded CPU/GPU acceleration (4GB VRAM recommended), EXIF toolkits for JPEG/HEIC/RAW files.

Problems Solved

  1. Pain Point: Eliminates manual file renaming and folder organization—addressing time waste, inconsistent naming conventions, and privacy risks of cloud-based tools.
  2. Target Audience:
    • Photographers/Designers: Organize RAW/HEIC images with EXIF-based names.
    • Document Managers: Auto-sort invoices/contracts into client folders.
    • Multilingual Teams: Generate filenames in 12+ languages (e.g., Japanese, Arabic).
  3. Use Cases:
    • Renaming 500+ scanned PDFs as Invoice_2024_VendorName.pdf in 2 minutes.
    • Sorting vacation photos into Photos/2024/Paris using GPS metadata.

Unique Advantages

  1. Differentiation:
    • Vs. cloud tools (Adobe, Dropbox): Zero data leaks; processes files offline.
    • Vs. manual methods: 10–20x faster batch processing with AI accuracy.
  2. Key Innovation:
    • Offline-First AI: Local LLMs with hardware optimization (4GB RAM/VRAM) ensure privacy without sacrificing speed.
    • Custom Prompt Engine: Users define naming rules (e.g., "Prefix all reports with Q1_") for domain-specific workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Does RenameClick work without an internet connection?
    Yes. RenameClick’s default local AI processes files offline. Cloud providers (OpenAI/Google) require internet but are optional.

  2. What file types can RenameClick process?
    Supports 20+ formats, including JPG, PNG, HEIC, PDF, DOCX, and CSV. Extracts text from documents and metadata from images.

  3. Is RenameClick free for bulk file renaming?
    The free tier allows unlimited AI analysis but limits file renaming/organizing to 30 credits/month. Pro plans ($8/month or $48 lifetime) offer unlimited changes.

  4. Can I use RenameClick with cloud storage like Google Drive?
    Yes. Install desktop clients for Google Drive, iCloud, or Dropbox to drag files directly into RenameClick. Web versions are unsupported.

  5. How does RenameClick handle non-English or sensitive content?
    Multilingual output supports 12 languages (accuracy highest for English). Built-in AI blocks NSFW content, but uncensored models work via Ollama/LM Studio.
