BigBoiRename
Right-click a folder. Get clean, consistent AI-generated filenames for everything inside — entirely on-device, no API key.
Messy download folders, inconsistently-named exports, raw screen captures — BigBoiRename runs a local Ollama model over each file and suggests a clean name based on content, context, and sibling filenames. Preview the whole batch, edit any suggestion inline, and apply with a single click.
Windows 10/11 · No admin rights required · Ollama + llama3.2:1b auto-installed (~1.3 GB)
How It Works
BigBoiRename registers a context menu entry for folders. When triggered, it reads each filename (and optionally a Whisper transcript for media files) and sends a batched prompt to a locally-running Ollama instance. The model returns clean name suggestions following consistent casing, no special characters, and descriptive conventions based on what it can infer from the content.
The preview GUI lets you review every suggestion before anything is touched. Inline editing means you can tweak any name the AI got wrong without leaving the window. The undo log means you can always go back.
Features
Folder-Level Batch Rename
Right-click any folder in Explorer and hit BigBoi Rename. Every file inside is analysed and gets a suggested name — all at once, not one at a time.
Local AI — No API Key
Runs llama3.2:1b via Ollama entirely on your machine. No cloud, no API key, no usage cost. The model is ~1.3 GB and auto-downloads on first use via the installer.
Preview Table with Inline Edit
A dark GUI shows a two-column table: current filename on the left, suggested name on the right. Click any suggestion to edit it before committing. Select all, deselect, or pick individually.
Undo Log
Every rename operation writes a reversible log. Roll back the entire batch in one click if the suggestions weren't right — original names are never lost.
Optional Whisper Hints
Enable the MULTI-MEDIA option and TinyTalk (Whisper) transcribes audio/video files first, then the AI uses the transcript as context for the filename suggestion. Better names for recordings and clips.
No Admin Rights
All registry entries written to HKCU. Installs without elevation. Works on locked-down machines.
Install
One-click (recommended)
