Hey Product Hunt! I'm Gerhard, the developer behind AutoRename-PDF. 📂 THE PROBLEM I've been doing IT consulting for small businesses since 2013. My clients were spending hours every month manually renaming PDFs — invoices, contracts, tax documents — all stuck with names like "scan_001.pdf" and "Document(3).pdf". 🔧 THE SOLUTION I built a tool that reads your PDFs and renames them automatically. Digital text, scanned documents, even image-only PDFs. Drop 200 files on it and go make coffee. The first version was a hacky Python script in 2023. Three major versions later, it has a proper desktop GUI, supports 5 AI providers, and runs fully offline. Earlier versions have been running at real client companies since the first release. 🔑 KEY FEATURES → 5 AI providers: OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and Ollama (free + offline) → Fully offline mode with Ollama + PaddleOCR — sensitive docs never leave your machine → Desktop GUI with drag-and-drop, rename preview, and undo → Windows right-click context menu integration → CLI with JSON output for automation → Company name harmonization (fuzzy matching catches OCR typos) → Batch processing at ~$0.001/PDF or $0 with Ollama 🔓 OPEN SOURCE This has always been open source. MIT licensed. No subscriptions, no cloud lock-in, no email wall. The code is on GitHub. I'd love to hear what you think — especially if you deal with PDF chaos at work. What features are missing? What would make this more useful for your workflow?
