NameQuick reads the vendor, the date, the amount and the kind of document, then writes the name you'd have typed yourself.
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 and never for training. Deleted once the name is made, within 24 hours at the latest.
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.
New files are renamed as they arrive. Prefer to OK each name first? Switch to Review first, for the play button or your watched folders.
When a date or amount can't be read, NameQuick doesn't make one up. That file waits for you to fill in what's missing; everything clear is renamed.
History keeps the old name next to the new one, and Undo puts it back. That can fail, for example if the file has since been moved or is open.
NameQuick works on the files you add and the folders you watch, nothing else. The file's dates and the folder it's in stay as they were, unless you add a Rule that changes them.
Everything here is in the current app. Each one has a short guide in the docs.
Exact copies checked byte for byte. You pick what stays.

"Easy to set up, no fiddling required. When I had an issue first thing in the morning, Josef had a solution before lunchtime."
"File renaming: often tedious, always necessary. Now it is genuinely enjoyable!"
"A pretty nifty little app that intelligently names things like screenshots and PDFs based on their contents… and it can watch entire folders and rename files as they're added."

Compare every plan →No. Managed starts in the app with 30 free renames: no email, no card, no time limit. Add a card for 70 more and 14 days of your plan. Self-Managed has its own 30-rename trial with no card or time limit.With a card, the first regular charge comes after 14 days, unless you start your subscription earlier. If you use up the trial renames before then, Managed renaming pauses. You are not charged early. History, Presets and settings stay available.
One name NameQuick writes for you. It counts when the suggestion is made, whether you apply it or not. Files it can't read don't count, and testing a preset is free.
Not on a monthly plan: unused renames expire at the end of each month. A yearly plan gets the whole year's renames upfront. Pack renames stay valid for 12 months from purchase. With a subscription, your plan's renames are used first.
All three AI modes work: Managed, your own key, or a local model through Ollama or LM Studio. MLX and Finder tags and comments are Mac-only. The installer is x64; ARM PCs on Windows 11 run it through built-in emulation.
