Overview

RenameClick is a desktop AI workspace that renames files based on what's inside them, not their original filenames. Drop 500 photos named "IMG_4832.jpg" and get back "sunset-over-lake-como-italy.jpg" — all processed locally on your machine.

What it does:

Batch Rename — Drag files in, get AI-generated names based on content. Review before applying. Undo anytime.

Auto-Organize — Sort files into category folders (Invoices, Screenshots, Receipts...) using AI categorization with custom or built-in presets.

AI Search — Find files by describing what's in them. "red car on a highway" finds the right photo across thousands of files.

Auto Flow — Set up folder watchers that automatically rename and organize incoming files. Perfect for Downloads, Scans, or Screenshot folders.

Right-Click Integration — Right-click any file or folder in Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows) and choose "Rename with RenameClick."


Privacy-first: Runs a local vision-language model via llama.cpp. Your files stay on your machine by default. Optional cloud providers such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Alibaba Cloud are available if you want them. Power users can also connect LM Studio or Ollama.

Supports: 19 formats total. Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, BMP, SVG, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF. Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, RTF, ODT.

RenameClick v2.10.13 May 26, 2026 Current

RenameClick has grown from an AI batch file renamer into an offline-first desktop workspace for cleaning up messy folders on Mac and Windows. It can rename files by content, organize them into folders, search by meaning, automate watched folders, and send files directly from Finder or File Explorer. RenameClick is now also available on the Mac App Store.

What’s new:

AI Search: Find files by describing what is inside them, such as “invoice,” “beach photo,” or “medical report,” instead of relying on filenames.

Auto Flow: Watch folders like Downloads, Scans, Screenshots, or Desktop and automatically rename, categorize, and move new files.

AI folder organization: Sort files into folders using built-in or custom category presets for documents, media, receipts, contracts, screenshots, and more.

Metadata folders and Match folders: Build folder paths from dates, EXIF location, camera metadata, or route files into existing project/client folders.

Right-click rename: Send files and folders straight into RenameClick from Finder on macOS or File Explorer on Windows.

Custom naming control: Use custom AI instructions, filename format patterns, EXIF placeholders, output languages, and slug-case formatting.

File extension filters: Limit Rename, AI Search, and Auto Flow to images, documents, or exact extensions like PDF, DOCX, PNG, JPG, CSV, and TIFF.

Mac App Store release: RenameClick is now available from the Mac App Store, alongside the direct Mac and Windows downloads.

RenameClick keeps the core workflow review-first: AI analysis and AI Search are free, credits are used only when successful rename or move changes are applied, and local processing keeps your files on your machine by default.

FAQ 7

What is RenameClick?

wrote:
RenameClick is a local-first desktop app for Mac 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, Auto Flow can watch folders like Downloads or Scans, and Finder / Explorer integration lets you send files into RenameClick directly from the right-click menu.

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.
Does RenameClick work completely offline?
Alex
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Yes. Once the local model is installed, RenameClick works offline by default. No internet connection is required unless you choose to use an optional cloud provider such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Alibaba Cloud.
What file types does it support?
Alex
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
19 file formats. Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, BMP, SVG, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF. Documents: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, RTF, ODT. RenameClick analyzes both images and documents by content.
How is this different from cloud-based AI renamers?
Alex
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
By default, your files stay on your computer. Most AI renamers upload files to a server for processing. RenameClick runs a local AI model directly on your machine, so it works offline, avoids upload bottlenecks, and keeps private documents local unless you explicitly choose a cloud provider.
Is it free?
Alex
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
The Free plan gives you unlimited AI analysis, and AI Search is free with no credit usage. You also get 30 credits/month for apply actions that rename or move files on disk.
Can it automatically organize my Downloads folder?
Alex
🛠️ 1
tool
wrote:
Yes. Auto Flow lets you set up watch rules for any folder. When new files appear, RenameClick automatically renames and/or sorts them into category folders. You can run it fully automatic or review suggestions before applying. Each watch rule can have its own naming format, language, categories, and custom instructions.
Does it work on both Mac and Windows?
