Naming
Filename templates
Build reusable names from extracted fields and fixed text
The template field at the top of the sidebar controls how generated filenames are built.
The default pattern is:
Date - Vendor - CurrencyAmountFor example:
2026-05-07 - Apple - USD24.99.pdfBuilt-in tokens
| Token | Output |
|---|---|
| Date | Full date, usually YYYY-MM-DD |
| Vendor | Issuer, vendor, or merchant |
| Currency | Currency code such as CHF, EUR, USD, or GBP |
| Amount | Final amount as a normalized number |
| VAT% | VAT or tax percentage when found |
| Year | Year from the extracted date |
| Month | Month from the extracted date |
Add tokens
Use the menu on the right side of the template field to insert a built-in token or custom field.
You can also type fixed text directly into the template. Spaces, separators, and words are preserved, then sanitized into a valid filename.
Change the pattern
Examples:
Year/Month style:
Year - Month - Vendor - AmountAccounting style:
Date - Vendor - VAT% - CurrencyAmountProject style:
Project - Date - Vendor - AmountPersistence
Template changes are saved in macOS user defaults and reused the next time Renamo opens.
Tip
When you add a template token that needs a field Renamo has not extracted yet, ready documents are queued for reprocessing.
