A LITTLE CLARITY

From “what is this?” to “there it is.”

The same files. A little more meaning. A lot less searching.

Illustrative examples. Results depend on your files, rules, and chosen model.

A FAMILIAR FLOW

A calmer way to rename.

01

Choose your rule

Start with Date and Original Filename, or save your own naming convention as a reusable rule.

02

Add your files

Drag supported files into the workspace. Bring PDFs, photos, and documents together.

03

Preview. Then apply.

Review the suggested names, then apply your changes. Use rename history to undo eligible changes.

MAKE IT YOURS

Your naming convention. Ready to reuse.

Date first. Title next. A counter at the end. Combine local file details with optional AI parts, save your rule, and use it for the next batch.

YOU STAY IN CONTROL

A little AI. Only when you want it.

Read about your data

Local rules stay on your Mac

Dates, counters, original names, and supported file attributes work without an AI service or API key.

Bring your own AI service

After your consent, the content needed for analysis goes directly to your configured provider. Keys stay in the Mac Keychain. Provider charges are separate.

THE FILES YOU WORK WITH

From a single photo to a folder of ideas.

PDFs, common images, text and code, modern Office files, OpenDocument, EPUB, and EML. Give each kind of file a naming rule that fits.

Compare Free and Pro

A few things you might be wondering.

Can I use it without an AI key?

Yes. Date and Original Filename and other local rules use dates, counters, and file attributes without AI. Configure your own provider and a compatible model when you want to use AI parts.

Does it rename my files immediately?

No. Generating names gives you a preview. Applying a rename is a separate step, with checks for conflicting names and occupied paths.

Can I undo a rename?

You can undo eligible changes from rename history. If another app has moved or changed the files, safety checks may prevent a restore.

What is the difference between Free and Pro?

Free supports up to 10 files per generation batch. Pro removes the batch cap and offers an explicitly started 14-day trial. Third-party AI fees are separate on both plans.

Make your next batch a little clearer.

Good names make room for what matters.
