NameQuick reads the vendor, the date, the amount and the kind of document, then writes the name you'd have typed yourself. Pick a file type to see it on real examples.
New names waiting in NameQuick 3's file list, ready to apply. Each follows a preset you choose; this one is date, vendor, type, amount.
See how presets work →Three choices, about two minutes. After that, every file that lands in a watched folder is read and named on arrival.
NameQuick runs on your computer. What leaves it depends on the AI you pick, and you can switch any time in Settings.
No API key and nothing to set up. Works as soon as your trial starts.
What leaves your computer
The file's text or image, encrypted, to NameQuick's EU servers. Used only to make the name, deleted right after (within 24 hours at the latest), never used for training.
What you need
Nothing besides NameQuick and an internet connection.
Paste a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or OpenRouter. You pay them directly.
What leaves your computer
The file's text or image, straight to the provider you chose. It never passes through NameQuick.
What you need
An API key and an account with that provider. Quality and speed match the cloud model you pick.
Ollama or LM Studio on Mac and Windows, or MLX on Apple Silicon. Slower than the cloud, and smaller models write simpler names.
What leaves your computer
Nothing. The model runs on your own machine.
What you need
An Apple Silicon Mac for good speed (MLX needs macOS 14 or later). Intel Macs are much slower. Photos and scans need a vision-capable model.
For the most reliable names today, use Managed or your own cloud key. Try a local model on your real files during the trial.
Every name can be checked before it's applied.
History keeps the old name, next to the new one.
Created and modified dates are preserved, so sorting still works.
Everything here ships today. Each one has a short guide in the docs.
Exact copies checked byte for byte. You pick what stays.
