Categories & Folder Organization

Automatically sort files into category folders based on AI content analysis.

RenameClick can automatically sort files into category folders based on content analysis. The AI reads each file and assigns it to the most appropriate category from a preset list.

Categories & Folder Organization

How Categorization Works

  1. Enable Categorize in the workspace header (can be combined with Rename or used alone)
  2. Select a Category Preset — built-in or custom
  3. Drop files and run AI
  4. AI analyzes each file and assigns a category or not if uncertain
  5. Apply — files are moved into subfolders named after their assigned categories

Apply Modes with Categories

ModeWhat Happens
Rename & MoveFiles are renamed AND moved into category subfolders
Move to folderFiles keep their original name, moved into category subfolders
Rename onlyFiles renamed in place, no folder organization

Custom Category Presets

Creating a Custom Preset

  1. Open the Category Selector in the workspace header
  2. Click Create New
  3. Enter a preset name
  4. Add category names (type and press comma or Enter)
  5. Optionally add descriptions for each category (helps the AI make better decisions)
  6. Save — the preset is auto-selected immediately

Custom Category Preset

Category Descriptions

Each category can have an optional description that tells the AI when to use it:

CategoryDescription
Tax Documents"Tax returns, W-2 forms, 1099 forms, tax receipts"
Personal"Personal photos, family documents, ID cards"
Work"Business correspondence, meeting notes, project files"

Descriptions help the AI distinguish between similar categories.

Limits

SettingDefaultConfigurable Range
Max categories per preset83 — 50
Max description length100 characters50 — 300 characters

These limits are adjustable in Local AI Settings.

Categorization Rules

  1. Closed set — The AI can only assign categories from the current preset. It cannot invent new categories.
  2. Null is valid — If the AI is uncertain, it returns null (no category) rather than guessing
  3. No order bias — Category order in the list does not influence the AI's decision
  4. Content-based — Categorization is always based on the actual file content

What Happens with null Category

Files assigned null category:

  • In Rename & Move mode: Files are renamed but stay in their current location
  • In Move to folder mode: Files stay in place
  • The result row shows no category assignment
