NameQuick vs SortioNameQuick reads your files and names them.
NameQuick reads your files and names them.
Sortio sorts from a plain-language prompt.
Both use AI to bring order to a messy Mac, but they sit in different lanes. Sortio is built around describing what you want in natural language instead of building detailed rules. NameQuick reads what's inside each file and writes a name from the content, then routes it in Finder.
50 renames, no credit card. macOS 15.4+.

vs
Sortio
Prompt-based AI sorting
The short version
Sortio is the broad prompt-sorting lane: tell it what to do in plain language. NameQuick is the Mac-native workflow lane, built around understanding a file's contents before it's renamed and filed.
Choose NameQuick- when the file has to be understood first, a scan_001.pdf, an untitled invoice or a screenshot, so the name comes from the content, not from an instruction.
- Choose Sortio
- when you'd rather describe broad sorting in plain language than define a Mac-native rename-and-route workflow.
- Or use both
- If a prompt-driven sorter already handles your broad sorting, NameQuick adds the content-read naming step it doesn't cover for vague documents and scans.

Choose Sortio when…
