What Vident does
Point Vident at a season of episodes you can't tell apart. It works out which episode each file is and suggests the right name. Nothing changes until you say so.
Knows which episode is which
Give it the show and season, and Vident identifies each file by what actually happens in the episode. That works even when the filename tells you nothing, like title_t00.mkv or a file straight off your DVR.
It tells you when it's unsure
Vident only commits to a name when the match is clear. When a file is ambiguous, it flags it for you instead of quietly renaming the wrong thing. A confident wrong answer is the one mistake it's built to avoid.
Preview, then undo
You see every new name before anything happens on disk. If a rename ever looks wrong, one click reverts the whole batch.
Private by default
Vident analyzes your files right on your own computer. They're never uploaded, and you don't need an account. If you choose to help improve matching for everyone, it shares only anonymous match data, never your videos or filenames.
Made for your media server
Vident names files the way Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby expect, so every episode shows up where it should.
Built for whole seasons
Drop in a whole season of unlabeled files at once. Vident sorts out which is which and puts them back in order.
A folder of 22 files you can't tell apart → every episode named right.
Common questions
Why Vident?
Most renaming tools work from the filename. If a file already says which show, season, and episode it is, they do the job fine. Vident is for the files where the name tells you nothing. You give it the show and season, and it works out which episode each file actually is, then names them the way Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby expect.
Do I need to know the show already?
Yes. You tell Vident the show and the season. The part it solves is the part filenames rarely can: figuring out which file is which episode inside that season.
What happens if it isn't sure about a file?
It tells you. Vident only commits to a name when the match is clear, and flags anything ambiguous for you to review. Nothing gets renamed until you approve it, and you can undo the whole batch in one click.
Does Vident upload my videos?
No. Your videos are analyzed on your own computer and are never uploaded, and there's no account to create. If you opt in to help improve matching for everyone, Vident shares only anonymous match data, never your videos or filenames.
Which platforms does it run on?
macOS first. Windows and Linux are on the way. Leave your email above and we'll tell you when your platform is ready.
What files does it work with?
Video you own or have the legal right to keep, whatever the filenames look like. Right now Vident is built for TV: point it at a season and it names one episode per file. Movies are on the roadmap.
Is Vident only for video I own?
Yes. Vident is built to organize video you own or otherwise have the legal right to keep, such as your own recordings and personal library. It's a tool for naming and organizing files you already have, not a way to obtain video, and it doesn't condone copyright infringement in any form. Please only use Vident with video you obtained lawfully.
