About NameQuick

NameQuick reads what is actually inside a file: PDFs, invoices, scans, images, and renames it to your naming convention. Select files in Finder and trigger it from the menu bar icon or a keyboard shortcut, drag them in, or point it at a watched folder and let new arrivals be renamed as they land. Nothing is renamed until you have seen the proposed names.

Features

From the Menu Bar: Select files in Finder and run NameQuick from its menu bar icon or a keyboard shortcut, without moving them anywhere first.
Reads the Document, Not the Filename: Selectable PDF text is read directly and scanned PDFs go through OCR, pulling out dates, vendors, amounts, titles, invoice IDs, parties and authors.
A Review Queue Before Anything Changes: Every proposed name is previewed so you can approve, edit, reject, retry, or apply just the ones you want, and check dates, vendors, document types, collisions and formatting first.
Watched Folders: Point it at a folder and new files are renamed the moment they arrive, rather than in a cleanup session you keep postponing.
Undo After Applying: A batch rename that turned out wrong can be taken back.
Your AI or Theirs: $69 one-time for the Self-Managed edition running on your own key or a local model, or Managed AI from $12 a month.

Why NameQuick?

Scanners and download folders produce names nobody chose, scan_0043.pdf, invoice(2).pdf, and the cost lands later, when you need one specific document and the only way to find it is opening files one at a time. Renaming them properly is obvious, tedious work, which is exactly the kind that never gets done. The catch with automating it is trust: a tool that renames a hundred documents wrongly is worse than the mess. NameQuick's answer is to show you the names first.

Send It Some Files

Select them in Finder and use the menu bar icon or a keyboard shortcut, drag them in, or let a watched folder catch new arrivals.

Read the Proposals

Every suggested name is previewed with the dates, vendors, document types, collisions and formatting it derived, so you can approve, edit, reject or retry.

Apply, and Undo if Needed

Run the batch once the names look right, and take it back if it didn't.
