- 3.0.39ReadFixed
Renames that got stuck after an interrupted run carry on again.
Release date: 2026-10-23
- 3.0.38ReadFixed
A rename pack now includes the Assistant.

- 3.0.37ReadImprovedFixed

Release date: 2026-10-21
- 3.0.36ReadImprovedFixed
On Windows, a file that was open in another app no longer comes back as "couldn't be named" after you choose other files.
Release date: 2026-10-19
- 3.0.35ReadImprovedFixed
On a Mac, NameQuick can now sort a folder of files into new folders.
Release date: 2026-10-18
- 3.0.34ReadImprovedFixed
A rename pack bought on namequick.app now always shows up in the app, and a watched folder tells you plainly when a scan has found new files.
Release date: 2026-10-17
- 3.0.33ReadImprovedFixed
The Assistant no longer goes in circles: it asks a question once, doesn't ask where something is in your documents, and changes the Preset you already have instead of making a second one.
Release date: 2026-10-17
- 3.0.32ReadNewFixed
Before you say yes to a Rule from the Assistant, its card now shows which of your own files it would move and where.
Release date: 2026-10-17
- 3.0.31ReadFixed
A scan that reuses a file name is now renamed in every case, also when it arrives seconds after NameQuick renamed the previous one, or under a name that was renamed before your last update.
Release date: 2026-10-16
- 3.0.30ReadFixed
A watched folder now renames a new file even when it arrives under a name NameQuick gave up a few days earlier, which is what scanners that number their files do.
Release date: 2026-10-16
- 3.0.29ReadFixed
On a Mac, Quick Rename is now one sheet for every kind of rename, and you finish a file that needs you by typing its name.
Release date: 2026-10-16
- 3.0.28ReadNewFixed
Review now sorts what's waiting into a few decisions, setup gets you to your first names with fewer detours, and on Windows a rename on a USB stick or SD card no longer shows as failed.
Release date: 2026-10-15
- 3.0.27ReadFixed
The free renames reach more people, and the sheet you see when they're used up counts every file that's waiting.
Release date: 2026-10-13
- 3.0.26ReadImprovedFixed
Running out of renames is easier to get past.
Release date: 2026-10-13
- 3.0.25ReadImprovedFixed
Fix name answers sooner during setup, and searching All Files no longer returns every file when your search word is part of your user folder's name.
Release date: 2026-10-11
- 3.0.24ReadImproved
After trying NameQuick with the sample files, All Files invites your own files instead of listing the demo copies, and the end of setup looks cleaner.
Release date: 2026-10-10
- 3.0.23ReadImprovedFixed
Setup now welcomes your whole pile, an undone rename shows the file as Untouched again, and setup moves on after renaming even while its window is in the background.
Release date: 2026-10-10
- 3.0.22ReadImprovedFixed
After setup, All Files opens on the files you just renamed, the rest of a big pile waits there ready to rename, and a run that stops always says why and what to do next.
Release date: 2026-10-09
- 3.0.21ReadImprovedFixed
Watching a folder now asks about the files already in it, on-device AI that stops answering pauses the run instead of failing it, and on Mac, names follow your Preset's example more closely.
Release date: 2026-10-09
- 3.0.20ReadImprovedFixed
A card trial when your free renames run out, a faster Fix name chat during setup, and a clearer way to save Presets that file into folders.
Release date: 2026-10-06
- 3.0.19ReadImprovedFixed
Rename packs, a clearer view of how many renames you have left, and fixes for files that move.
Release date: 2026-10-06
- 3.0.18ReadImprovedFixed
Smoother first setup, Presets with whole-name rules work again
The email code, sign-in and first files are easier to get through, and on-device setup can start on the cloud AI while the model downloads.
- 3.0.17ReadNewImprovedFixed
Start with your files, try Managed without a card
The new setup walks you through your first rename, and 30 free Managed renames need only a verified email.

Model choice sticks, custom providers save API keys correctly
Your model and reasoning effort stay selected across provider switches and restarts.
- 3.0.15ReadImproved
Content search retries skipped files and flags an incomplete index

If the device slot is in use, NameQuick explains it and offers to manage activations.
- 3.0.8ReadImproved
Requests with your own OpenAI key ask OpenAI not to store them
Every OpenAI request now sends store: false, so it is not kept in your request logs.
- 3.0.7ReadFixed
Watched folders keep their preset when migrating from the old Mac app
A folder whose preset cannot be imported is skipped and reported, not switched to Smart Rename.
- 3.0.6ReadImproved
Suggested names get Apply, Keep and inline editing; Space to peek
Billing refusals now say why instead of reporting that you are offline.
- 3.0.5ReadImproved
Anonymous usage reporting is attributed correctly again
Builds 3.0.0 to 3.0.4 sent their usage counts to the previous project; what is reported is unchanged.
- 3.0.4ReadImproved
New installs start on Smart Rename, Intel Macs explain the missing engine
The built-in local engine needs Apple Silicon, and Intel Macs now point to Ollama, LM Studio or a cloud provider.
- 3.0.3ReadFixed
File list loads as you scroll, update notes in your language
The update banner no longer slides under the macOS window buttons, and usage reporting works again.
- 3.0.2ReadFixed
