Automation for Mac files, with clear privacy boundaries.
Files Magic AI keeps organizing, renaming and cleaning separate, so you use only the automation you need. Organizing uses filenames to suggest structure. Magic Rename reads file contents, on your Mac or through Cloud AI, whichever engine you pick. Files AI agent chat can run on your own OpenAI key.
Organize files without sending file contents away.
Keeping a Mac tidy takes too much manual work: sorting, moving, de-duplicating, renaming and clearing space. Files Magic AI automates the repetitive parts and keeps every step reviewable.
- Pick a template, then preview and edit the folder plan before anything moves
- Only filenames are sent when AI builds an organization structure
- Optional bring-your-own OpenAI key for the Files AI agent chat, so requests use your own account
- Your file contents never leave your Mac for organizing
- Works on one folder, several working folders, or synced local folders
- Auto-organize keeps chosen folders tidy in the background, with status in the menu bar
Files named from what is inside them, not guessed from patterns.
Magic Rename opens each file and reads it: the text of a PDF, the cells of a spreadsheet, the words in a photo of a receipt. Scan_0043.pdf becomes 2026-03-14_Invoice_Acme-Studios.pdf. Smart Rename handles one-off files, Batch Rename runs rules across a whole folder, and Magic Folders name new files as they land.
- Reads file contents, with OCR for scans and photos
- Choose your engine: on-device (Apple Intelligence or a built-in model, fully offline) or Cloud AI
- Naming templates and custom fields, so names follow your own convention
- Preview every change before it applies
- Files that cannot be read, such as QuickTime video, are listed and marked "Not supported" rather than silently skipped
- Revert to Original puts any renamed file back to its first name, from the result screen, History or a Magic Folder
Get storage back from duplicates and unused apps.
System Cleaner finds storage you can reclaim and shows it to you before anything is deleted.
- Find duplicate files before they pile up
- Review unused apps and storage-heavy downloads
- Surface node_modules, Xcode, Flutter and Gradle caches
- A restore note (Recreate node_modules.txt) lists the package-manager commands to rebuild a deleted project
- Delete only after review, never a blind wipe
Exclude Folder or Files Before Organization or Rename.
Automation only feels good when there is a visible way back. Preview changes, protect parts of the tree, and reverse recent actions when your first pass needs correcting.
- Preview organization before committing
- Exclude specific files and folders you want untouched
- Undo recent organization actions
- Revert renames one by one, per run, or all the way to the original name
- Rename history is kept for 30 days

> Four years of scanned receipts all called scan_0012.pdf. Magic Rename read each one and named it by vendor and date. One afternoon instead of the weekend I had set aside.

FAQ
Questions that matter before software touches your files.
Yes. 3 days on both the monthly and yearly plans, with full access. There is also a free plan with 25 AI rename credits, one folder organized, and full access to every System Cleaner module.
Yes. Preview the plan first, then undo recent moves. For renames, undo the last rename or use Revert to Original to restore a file's first name. Rename history is kept for 30 days.
Your folders are never uploaded. Organizing sends filenames only, never file contents. Magic Rename can run entirely on your Mac, and if you pick the Cloud AI engine instead, the text read from the file being renamed is sent so a name can be produced. Files AI agent chat supports your own OpenAI key, so those requests run through your own account.
It renames files from what is inside them. It includes Smart Rename for reviewing and applying a handful of files, Batch Rename for running rules across a folder, and Magic Folders for naming new files automatically as they arrive.
Yes. Magic Rename works on its own, and every rename is previewed before it applies.
PDFs, images with OCR, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, OpenDocument files, EPUB, RTF, HTML and plain-text formats. Formats that cannot be read, such as video, are shown in the list and marked "Not supported" rather than skipped quietly.
Duplicates, unused apps, installers, caches and developer leftovers such as node_modules, Xcode, Flutter and Gradle build files. Nothing is deleted until you review and confirm it, and deleting a node_modules folder leaves a note listing the commands to rebuild it.
Yes. If the folder is available locally on your Mac (iCloud, Dropbox, Drive), Files Magic AI can organize it like any other folder.
macOS 12 (Monterey) or later. Apple Silicon and Intel are both supported.
