AI Renamer solves a very specific and very common annoyance: folders full of files named IMG_4821.jpg, Screenshot 2025-03-01 at 14.22.11.png or scan_final_v3.pdf. Instead of guessing, the app sends each file to an AI model that looks at the actual content — the subject of a photo, the title and body text of a document — and proposes a clean, descriptive filename. You review the suggestions, adjust anything you don't like, and apply them in one click.
The desktop app runs on both macOS and Windows and supports two very different operating modes. Cloud Mode is the easiest: buy credits, drop in files, and let the service call hosted AI models (with OpenAI and custom endpoints supported). Local Mode is for privacy-minded users or anyone who works offline — the same app connects to models you run on your own machine through Ollama or LM Studio, so no file ever leaves your computer. A one-time Local Mode package unlocks that path.
Batch handling is where the product earns its place. You can drag in dozens of images and documents at once, preview the proposed names before committing, and mix custom instructions into the process so the AI follows your house naming conventions — date prefixes, language, formatting style — rather than inventing its own. There is also a free tier with signup credits, so you can test whether the model's naming taste matches yours before paying.
