Do these two do the same thing?

Not really. Files Magic AI organizes cluttered folders and reclaims disk space. NameQuick reads the content of documents and builds filenames from what it finds, then files them with rules. If your problem is a full disk, Files Magic AI fits better.

Does Files Magic AI read what is inside my documents?

Its site describes organizing that works from filenames, with a local Magic Rename for better ones. Content-level field extraction from documents is not documented on its site. NameQuick reads document text, runs on-device OCR for scans, and pulls those fields out of the content itself.

Which runs on older versions of macOS?

Files Magic AI supports macOS 12 or later. NameQuick requires macOS 15.4 or later.

Files Magic AI, at $4.99 per month, $39.99 per year, or $49.99 lifetime, against $69 one-time for NameQuick Self-Managed with lifetime updates.

Can either work offline?

Both offer a local option. Files Magic AI states it works offline with Apple Intelligence. NameQuick can use Ollama, LM Studio or MLX, and OCR always runs on the Mac.

Does NameQuick clean up disk space?

Only duplicates. NameQuick verifies exact duplicates byte for byte and reports reclaimable space, but it does not clean caches, installers or unused applications.

How they compare

Feature	NameQuick	Files Magic AI
What the name is based on	The content of the file. Document text, on-device OCR for scans, photo content, and metadata such as EXIF date and GPS. Fields like invoice number, vendor, date and document type are extracted from what is inside.	Its organizing works from filenames, and a local Magic Rename suggests better ones. Content-level field extraction from documents is not documented on 1dot.ai (verified 2026-08-02).
Source-backed review	Shows each proposed name beside the source text its values came from, before anything is applied.	Magic Rename suggests names locally. A step that shows the source text a name was drawn from is not documented on 1dot.ai (verified 2026-08-02).
Actions beyond renaming	Rules can rename, move, tag with Finder tags and comments, apply a color label, adjust dates, archive, or move to Trash.	Organizes chosen folders into Magic Library, Manual Library and Recents. A tagging, color-label or date-adjustment action list is not documented on 1dot.ai (verified 2026-08-02).

Choose NameQuick when…

The name has to come from inside the document: invoice number, vendor, date, document type.
Your files are scans or photographed paperwork that need OCR before they can be named.
You need filing actions after the rename: Finder tags, comments, color labels, date changes, moves, archive or Trash.
You want Watch Folders handling recurring paperwork as it arrives.
The paperwork half of the mess arrives as email attachments, and PDFs from approved senders should reach a watched folder without being dragged there, with a record of what was filed.
Before a paperwork rename is applied, you want the invoice number or date shown beside the document text it was read from.

Choose Files Magic AI when…

Your problem is a cluttered, full Mac rather than paperwork.
Getting storage back is the win you are after, not better filenames.
You are on macOS 12, 13 or 14.

You prefer a low monthly subscription at $4.99.
