FAQ
Which file types are supported?
PDF, images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC), Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), emails (EML, MSG), HTML, RTF and media files (EXIF, ID3 tags). Unrecognized files are handled by the generic processor.
Are my files uploaded to the cloud?
Only the extracted text is sent to the AI provider, not the file itself. With Ollama or Apple Intelligence, all data stays locally on your Mac.
Can I undo a rename?
Yes, every rename is saved in the history. You can revert individual renames at any time via the history or the API.
How much does Distill cost?
Distill is free. Depending on the provider, API costs may apply for the AI analysis. With Apple Intelligence or Ollama, usage is completely free.
Do I need an API key?
For Claude, OpenAI and Gemini you need an API key from the respective provider. Ollama (local) and Apple Intelligence work without a key.
Can Distill watch folders automatically?
Yes, under Folders you can add directories. New files are automatically detected and queued. Optionally they can be renamed directly.
