Auto Flow — Automatic File Processing (Beta)

Automated file renaming workflowWatch folders for new filesMultiple source-destination mappings
Auto Flow interface for automatic file processing and organization

What's New

Auto Flow is a powerful new feature that automates your file renaming and organization workflow.

Set it up once, and watch as your files are automatically renamed, categorized, and moved to the right folders.

Auto Flow monitors folders you specify and automatically processes files as they appear.

Watch Mode & Auto Apply

Watch Mode — Turn on Watch to start monitoring your source folder. When new files appear, they're automatically queued for processing.

Auto Apply ON — Files are processed and moved automatically — perfect for hands-off automation.

Auto Apply OFF — Files are processed but wait for your approval before moving — gives you full control to review AI suggestions.

Multiple Rows & Full Feature Support

Create multiple source-to-destination mappings: Downloads → Documents, Screenshots → Organized Photos, Scans → Categorized Invoices.

Custom Format Patterns — Use any naming format (spaces, slug-case, EXIF-based, custom patterns).

Custom Prompts — Apply specialized AI instructions for specific document types.

Category Presets — Automatically sort files into folders based on content.

Output Language — Generate filenames in your preferred language.

Results Tracking & Undo

Processed Files — See files waiting for your approval (when Auto Apply is off).

Applied Files — Review all files that have been moved during Watch session.

Undo & Redo — Move files back to their original location or re-apply changes. Works for individual files or batch operations.

v1.8.0

EXIF Metadata in Filename Patterns

EXIF metadata viewer and filename formatter with When_Where preset

Use photo metadata directly in your filenames! RenameClick now extracts EXIF data and lets you build powerful naming patterns.

Available placeholders:

• $exif{date} - Photo capture date (YYYY-MM-DD)

• $exif{camera} - Camera make and model

• $exif{city}, $exif{country}, $exif{location} - GPS location (requires location data in photo)

• $exif{iso}, $exif{aperture}, $exif{shutter} - Exposure settings

• $exif{FieldName} - Access any raw EXIF field (e.g., LensModel, Software, Artist)

Built-in preset: Use the "When_Where" format to automatically generate names like 2024-06-15_Paris_France.

View EXIF data: Hover over the camera icon on any photo to see all available metadata fields you can use.

v1.7.0

Dark Theme & CPU Compatibility

New Dark Theme interface

Dark Theme: RenameClick now has a dark mode. You can switch themes in the user menu.

v1.6.0

Custom AI Instructions for Tailored Renaming

Custom AI Instructions interface in RenameClick

Take full control over how your files are renamed with custom AI instructions.

Use cases:

• Extract dates, amounts, and vendors from invoices

• Pull metadata like project codes or client names from contracts

• Create consistent naming for receipts, reports, or any document type

How to use:

1. Click the prompt selector in the header

2. Choose "Create custom instructions"

3. Write your extraction rules and output format

Note: When using Custom Instructions, the Format and Language selectors are disabled - your custom prompt has full control.

v1.5.0

Output Language for Renamed Filenames (Beta)

Output Language dropdown for generated filenames

You can now choose the language used for generated filenames from the new Output Language dropdown in the header.

Supported output languages: English, 中文, Español, العربية, Português, Bahasa Indonesia, Français, 日本語, Русский, Deutsch.

The app sends this preference into the AI prompts so filenames are produced in your selected language, while keeping brand names/proper nouns (e.g., iPhone, YouTube) unchanged.

We also improved naming to sound more natural (not just keyword lists) and expanded character support so non-Latin filenames aren't stripped.

This feature is currently in Beta - if results look off for your language, email [email protected].
