Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm the maker of LabelIt. I'm excited to finally share this little project I've been working on.
It started with a simple frustration: why are our computers still giving files names like IMG_4821.HEIC and Screenshot 2026-11-08 at 10.41.07.png?
A few weeks later, you have hundreds of files, and finding the one you need becomes a treasure hunt.
I wanted to fix that.
Meet LabelIt — a tiny Mac app that names files based on what's actually inside them.
Here's how it works:
📸 Screenshots: Reads the text and automatically creates descriptive filenames.
🖼️ Photos & videos: Understands what's in your iPhone photos and videos using EmbeddingGemma 2.
📄 PDFs: Right-click any PDF to give it a meaningful name.
A few things that make LabelIt different:
🔒 AI runs entirely on your Mac. Nothing gets uploaded.
🍎 Uses Apple Vision and Apple Intelligence.
↩️ Every rename can be undone.
🆓 Completely free and open source (MIT license).
🐧 Linux CLI preview available too.
No accounts, no cloud processing, no subscriptions. Just a little utility that makes your files easier to find.
I'd really love your feedback!
A few questions for the community:
Would you find automatic file naming useful in your daily workflow?
What other file types would you like LabelIt to understand?
What would make this a must-have utility on your Mac?
I'm especially interested in hearing about real-world use cases and edge cases I might have missed.
Thanks for checking it out, trying it, and helping me make it better. ❤️
Let's make meaningless filenames a thing of the past!
