What nymos Does

nymos is an AI-powered file renaming tool for macOS that transforms chaotic Downloads folders and disorganized file systems into searchable, well-structured archives. Unlike traditional batch renamers that work from existing filenames, nymos reads the actual content inside your documents—including scanned PDFs with built-in OCR—and suggests clear, consistent names based on what it finds.

Who It's For & The Problem It Solves

Designed for anyone drowning in cryptically named files—from freelancers managing invoices and receipts to knowledge workers organizing research documents—nymos eliminates the manual labor of renaming hundreds of PDFs, photos, Office documents, and more. It's built specifically for Mac users running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer who need their files findable without spending hours on digital housekeeping.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Content-aware analysis: Reads 57 file types including PDFs (with OCR for scans), Microsoft Office, Apple iWork, photos, text files, and more—analyzing actual content, not just metadata
• Smart suggestions with human approval: Every rename waits for your review—nothing happens automatically. Edit suggestions inline, approve individually, or batch-apply
• Multilingual intelligence: Files are named in their original language (a German Rechnung stays German), or you can force all filenames to English, Dutch, or Spanish
• Built-in templates: Pre-configured patterns for invoices, receipts, documents, and contracts, plus custom template builder with live preview
• Watch folder automation: New files in monitored folders are analyzed automatically but still require manual approval
• Complete undo & history: Every rename is tracked and revertible with ⌘Z or from the day-grouped history panel
• Fast batch processing: Concurrent analysis means folders of PDFs are processed in seconds

Typical Workflows

Drop files into nymos, which extracts key data (vendor, date, subject, amount for invoices; descriptive content for photos), formats it according to your template, and presents suggestions for approval. The watch folder feature continuously monitors directories like Downloads, preparing suggestions that wait in queue for your review—ideal for maintaining ongoing organization without manual intervention.

Integration & Deployment

nymos offers two deployment modes: a managed subscription ($9/month for 400 documents) that works immediately with no setup, or a one-time license ($79) that connects to your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or compatible AI provider account. All processing on the managed plan happens on EU servers with GDPR-compliant handling—documents are analyzed and immediately discarded, never stored or used for model training.

What Sets It Apart

The approval-first workflow ensures you maintain complete control while AI does the heavy lifting. Combined with true content reading (not filename pattern matching), multilingual support, and privacy-by-design architecture, nymos delivers organized file systems without the risk of automatic bulk renaming disasters.
