Rename and auto-sort files with offline AI

Website rename.click
Overview

What it is

RenameClick is an offline-first AI file renamer and organizer for Mac/Windows. It analyzes file content locally (no uploads) to generate clean, descriptive names, then auto-sorts files into folders by category using presets. Comes with 2 presets out of the box, but the real power is custom presets with your own categories. Supports batch processing, multilingual output, custom prompts (instructions), and optional cloud/local LLMs (Ollama, LM Studio).

Intent

I need it when

Organize photo archives and camera imports using metadata like date, location, camera model, and EXIF fields

RenameClick supports metadata-based folder presets that build folder hierarchies from EXIF data (location, camera, lens), file dates, and custom text levels. Users can organize photos by Year/Month/Day, Location/Camera, or other metadata combinations without manual sorting.

Organize messy folders of mixed file types (photos, PDFs, documents) into a clean, categorized structure

RenameClick analyzes file content using local AI to suggest descriptive names and sort files into folders by meaning. Users can review AI suggestions before applying changes, then batch rename and move hundreds of files in minutes with complete privacy—no uploads required.

Automate recurring file organization tasks like cleaning up Downloads, Screenshots, or Scans folders as new files arrive

Auto Flow watches specified folders and automatically renames, categorizes, and moves new files according to user-defined rules. Each watch row supports custom sorting presets, naming formats, and AI instructions, enabling hands-off organization of incoming files.

Rename cryptic or generic filenames (like IMG_0042.JPG or 8a095-4d0f6a90008b.pdf) to clear, descriptive names based on actual file content

The AI reads images, PDFs, and documents to understand their content, then generates meaningful filenames. Users can customize naming with EXIF metadata, date patterns, and custom instructions. All processing happens locally on the device for privacy.

Find files by meaning or content rather than exact filename keywords

AI Search lets users query files by what they contain or represent (e.g., 'blood test results' or 'project proposal') rather than searching for specific filenames. The search is free for all users and works offline using the local AI model.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs cloud-based file management without local installation; RenameClick is a desktop-only application for macOS and Windows
  • User has less than 16 GB system RAM; the local AI model requires ~4 GB RAM minimum and 16 GB is recommended for comfortable processing
  • User requires real-time collaboration on file organization; RenameClick is designed for individual desktop workflows, not team-based file management
  • User needs to process unsupported file formats; RenameClick only supports specific image (JPG, PNG, HEIC, etc.) and document formats (PDF, DOCX, etc.)
  • User requires instant processing of very large batches; local AI processes files one at a time, making large batches slower than cloud alternatives
  • User cannot accept any local storage of AI models; the ~4 GB bundled model must be downloaded and stored locally on the device
