RenameClick

The core idea is simple: the app reads the file, not the filename. It extracts text from documents, analyzes images, and transcribes speech, then builds a name from what it finds. That's why a file called IMG_4471.HEIC can come back as Beach_Sunset_July.heic. It's a different approach from pattern-based renamers that can only shuffle letters and dates around.

RenameClick ships with a built-in model you install once, after which naming happens on your device even with Wi-Fi off. If you already run local models, you can point it at Ollama or LM Studio instead. This keeps your content off third-party servers, which matters if you're sorting financial records, medical scans, or anything under a confidentiality agreement. The trade-off is a one-time download and hardware-dependent speed. No server, no upload.

You get three clear options: rename only, categorize only, or rename plus categorize. The first changes filenames in place, the second moves files using a sorting preset while keeping their names, and the third applies both. Splitting these apart means a quick naming pass won't quietly relocate your files to a new folder structure you didn't want.

Where a file lands is configurable. You can sort into content categories, build paths from file metadata, or reuse folders you already have. Format patterns let you pull in details like capture date or camera model from a photo's EXIF data, so destinations follow your own scheme rather than a fixed template.

Speech in MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, and AAC files is transcribed on your device, and the transcript becomes the basis for the new filename. Long recordings get sampled rather than fully processed. One limit worth knowing: this reads what's said, it doesn't identify songs. A music library is the wrong use case.

Auto Flow watches a folder while the app is running and picks up new files as they arrive, so downloads and exports get sorted without you dragging anything in. Auto Apply is optional, which means you can keep human review in the loop if you'd rather approve each batch.

Instead of digging by filename and date, you can pick a folder and describe the document or image you're after in plain words. Ever spent twenty minutes hunting for a screenshot you know exists but can't name? This handles that. It's useful when you remember what a file was about but not what you called it, an increasingly common problem once storage fills with screenshots and exports.

If local hardware isn't fast enough, you can connect your own API key for OpenAI or Google AI. Cloud providers receive the file content for analysis and bill you separately, so this is the more capable but less private option. It's a sensible escape hatch for people who want speed on a machine that can't run a local model well.
