File Me

Why would I use File Me?

When you digitize old photos, collect files from different sources, or tidy up a folder, your files often have meaningless dates — like the scan date — no GPS location, and names with no temporal context.

Manually fixing filenames, filesystem timestamps, EXIF data, and GPS coordinates is tedious and error-prone, involving multiple tools like touch, mdls, exiftool, and Finder info panels.

File Me consolidates all of that into a single, visual workflow with three powerful capabilities.

📅

File Date Editing

Assign dates with drag-and-drop buckets and File Me updates the filename prefix, filesystem timestamps, and EXIF metadata — all at once. Supports year, month, or day granularity, file-to-file date copying, and batch operations on hundreds of files.

📍

GPS Location Editing

Search for a place, see it on a map, and write GPS coordinates into your photos' EXIF data. Create reusable location buckets for places like "Grandma's House" or "Lake Tahoe" and tag entire sets of photos with a single drag-and-drop.

AI Image Analysis

Select your photos and let Claude analyze each image — recognizing recurring people, places, and events across your entire collection. The AI suggests descriptive filenames, estimates dates, and even writes a narrative summary of the story your photos tell.

✨ AI Image Analysis requires your own Anthropic API key. Paste it into Settings and you're ready to go — your key stays on your machine and is used only to talk directly to the Anthropic API.
