✔ We built a Chrome extension that auto generates meaningful filenames for new downloads. It has tailored formats for major file types like papers, books, financial reports, etc. For example,
- a paper's format = download date - title - first author's last name - area, so the filename would be 20250208 - Attention Is All You Need - Vaswani - LLM instead of 1706.03762 from arXiv
- an SEC filing's format = company - filing type - report period, so the file name would be Apple - IPO Prospectus - 19940126 instead of 29ef375c-56c2-48b9-917d-b12812efc1a4 (??!) from Apple's investor relations website

We are also developing a feature where users can add or adjust their file naming rules. For example, if you like underscores and download meeting memos a lot, you can add meeting memos = interviewee's name_company_position_topic_date.

📌 User Guide
- Sign in and then turn on the switch. You are good to go!
- Note, Cantrips.ai hasn't supported some websites like downloads from GitHub due to technical complications. It hasn't supported images, either. We are also considering applying a similar approach to other knowledge management tools like website bookmarks or folders. Let us know your experience with the extension and what features you'd like to see!

🥳 Why the extension?
- My desktop is buried with meaningless and odd filenames... Can't really figure out which file is the one I need.
- More importantly, I want my desktop/finder to look tidy. It feels great when everything is organized, but I don't want to handle renaming files in the mid of my research (and I become a bit lazy later). Hence we built a tool to auto rename files for us.
