Newname

Say goodbye to messy filenames.

NewName uses intelligent, on-device AI to instantly rename your Chrome downloads with clear, human-readable names, while keeping your data private.

Do your downloads look like this?

• 7766-Текст стаÑ‚Ñ‚N.txt
• 7810-1-10-20231211.pdf
• 10640541-makaka.mp4
• document (1).docx ?

They’re confusing. They slow you down. They pile up fast.

NewName fixes that automatically.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST

• Runs fully on local AI (Gemini Nano), that is built-in at Chrome, so your files never leave your device!
• Wanna save battery? We have Cloud AI as option with BYOK
• Zero data collection! We do not see, log, or store your files or filenames
• Your downloads stay yours, always

🤖 SMART, CONTEXT-AWARE RENAMING

NewName looks at what the file actually is, not just the original filename:

• Understands file content, metadata, and download context
• Handles PDFs, images, videos, audio, archives, and documents
• Applies clear, descriptive names that make sense at a glance
• Automatically skips files that are already well-named

The result: files that are easy to find, easy to understand, and instantly organized.
