AI reads your files and names them
WisFile
Free local AI batch renaming and foldering
NameQuick supports recurring renaming and filing with Watch Folders, review and undo on Mac and Windows. It also offers deterministic Rules on both, plus Finder tags on Mac. WisFile is currently free and documents manually initiated batches with a bundled local engine and filename preview.
Choose NameQuick- when you need Watch Folders and undo on Mac or Windows, or Rules on both and Finder tags on Mac.
- Choose WisFile
- when the priority is a free, simple, manually initiated batch workflow with a bundled local model and no separate AI configuration.
- Or use both
- You can use WisFile for occasional manual batches and NameQuick for recurring folders. Keep their processing separate and test on copies before changing working files; this is not a documented integration.
At a glance
How they compare
| Feature | WisFile | |
|---|---|---|
| Content-based naming | Mac reads document text and reads scans and photos from the page image. Windows names documents and images from content. | Reads supported documents to identify titles, authors, dates, keywords and context for renaming. |
| Formats, images and scans | Mac supports 30+ formats; the AI model reads scans from the page image. Windows covers documents and images in its first release. | The desktop FAQ explicitly lists PDF, DOC and DOCX. The web uploader also accepts PNG, JPEG and JPG. A FAQ claims scanned and image-based PDF recognition. The sources checked on September 10, 2026 do not establish OCR implementation details or standalone desktop image support. |
| Batch naming and templates | Supports content-aware naming and deterministic Rules on Mac and Windows. | Supports batch renaming and preset or custom filename formats such as Author-Year-Title. A FAQ says timestamps are added when generated names conflict. |
| Foldering and file actions | Rules on Mac and Windows can rename, move, tag, change dates, create ZIP files or move files to Trash. Finder tags and color labels are Mac-only; on Windows, tags go into file properties for supported formats, not PDF, PNG or plain text. | Offers content-based foldering. Its classification FAQ also describes custom criteria, although the foldering page promotes setup without rules. It also advertises a PDF-only metadata-removal web tool, one file per run; desktop inclusion is not established by the reviewed pages. |
| Trigger model and automation | Watch Folders support arrival-triggered workflows on Mac and Windows. | Users import files or folders and run processing on demand. Its FAQ says scheduled automation is not supported. |
| Review and name conflicts | Mac and Windows show the proposed name with supporting evidence before apply. | A FAQ documents filename preview and adjustment before confirmation; another documents timestamp-based handling when generated names collide. |
| AI deployment and privacy | Local, own-key or Managed AI on Mac and Windows (MLX local models on Mac only). With a local model, analysis stays on your computer. | The desktop/local path is marketed as offline with a fixed bundled model. The privacy policy also covers online models, server processing, third-party providers and deletion within 24 hours for online AI Foldering data. |
| History, undo and audit trail | Mac and Windows provide History and undo where still possible. | Official FAQs say there is no built-in undo, no scheduled automation and no saved or exportable rename log. |
