NameQuick

Choose NameQuick when…

  • Your problem is paperwork, not screenshots: invoices, receipts, contracts, statements and scans arriving every week.
  • A renamed invoice is not finished the way a renamed screenshot is: it still needs Finder tags, comments, a color label, a date change, a move, an archive or the Trash.
  • You want Watch Folders handling new files automatically.
  • A wrong date on a document costs more than a wrong screenshot name, so you want the source text shown beside each proposed name first.
  • Screenshots and exports have piled up into copies, and you want exact matches verified byte for byte before anything goes to Trash.
  • You want a local model option through Ollama, LM Studio or MLX.

Choose Keep It Shot when…

  • Your pile is screenshots and media rather than documents.
  • You mainly need to find things again, and an offline keyword search index is the point.
  • The entry price decides it, and Keep It Shot starts well below NameQuick's $69.
  • Video is part of the pile, and Keep It Shot renames it at 5 credits per video.
