Your files stay close
Tymender only works with files you choose. It previews every rename before anything changes, and it keeps app data on your Mac by default.
Last updated: June 2026
Files and folders
Tymender acts on files you select, drop, send from Finder, or place inside watched folders you add. It does not crawl through your whole Mac.
Local app data
Settings, watched folders, rename history, organize history, recent folders, presets, and optional copied-text history are stored locally on your device.
On-device analysis
Text extraction, OCR, metadata reading, and fallback naming run locally. Apple Intelligence is used on-device when available on your Mac.
No uploads by default
Out of the box, Tymender does not upload your files or file contents to Tymender servers. There is no Tymender account required for local naming.
Optional providers
Optional external providers are only used if you explicitly configure your own provider key. Until then, naming stays on-device.
Finder extension
The Finder extension is handoff-only. It passes selected files to Tymender for review. It does not analyze, upload, or rename files by itself.
Before anything changes
Tymender shows suggested names in a preview first. Files are renamed only after you confirm the batch.
Purchases
Payments are handled by Stripe; Tymender never sees or stores your card details. The email address you enter at checkout is used to send your download link and license key, and to answer support questions. It is not used for marketing.
