Files named by what's inside them.
Right-click in Finder and NamingAI reads the actual content — the photo's scene, the PDF's title, the code's purpose — then writes a clear, descriptive name. All on your Mac, with Apple's Foundation Models. Nothing is uploaded.

Smart naming, without the cloud.
Truly on-device
Runs entirely on Apple's Foundation Models. Sensitive PDFs, private photos and source code never leave your Mac — and it works with Wi-Fi off.
Lives in the right-click
No new app to learn. Select files in Finder, choose “Rename with NamingAI” and review the suggestions inline.
Reads many kinds
Scene detection for images, titles for PDFs, structure for code and text.
Batch in one pass
Rename a whole folder of “IMG_0001” and “Untitled” files at once.
Your naming style
kebab-case, snake_case, Title Case — add a prefix or a date.
Three steps. No setup.
Right-click your files
Pick one file or a hundred in Finder and choose “Rename with NamingAI”. That's the whole interface.
The model reads them
On-device, NamingAI inspects each file's real content and drafts a descriptive name in your chosen style — usually in a second or two.
Review, then rename
Every suggestion is shown before anything changes. Approve the ones you like, edit the rest. Nothing is renamed without your say.
Named the way each file deserves.
Images
Scene and subject detection turns “IMG_4821” into what the photo actually shows.
Documents
Reads the title and headings to name reports, invoices and contracts clearly.
Code
Infers a file's purpose from its contents — handy for stray “Untitled” snippets.
Text & notes
Summarizes the gist into a short, searchable filename you'll recognize later.

Good to know.
Does anything get sent to the internet?
No. NamingAI uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models, so file analysis happens entirely on your Mac. You can rename files with Wi-Fi off, and nothing about your files is ever uploaded.
What do I need to run it?
macOS 26 or later on an Apple silicon Mac, since that's where Apple's on-device models are available. The app checks compatibility before doing anything.
Will it rename files without asking?
Never. Every suggested name is shown for review first. You approve, edit or skip each one — files only change when you apply.
Can I control the naming style?
Yes. Choose kebab-case, snake_case or Title Case, and optionally add a prefix or a date. NamingAI applies your convention consistently across the whole batch.
Is it a subscription?
No. It's free to try, and the full version is a single $9.99 purchase that includes future updates. No accounts, no recurring charges.
Stop staring at IMG_4821.
Let your Mac name its own files — privately, in a second, the way you'd name them yourself.
