Clean up names

Tidy every item's name and category at once with on-device Apple Intelligence, before you export or sign.

Requires: iPhone 15 Pro or newer, on iOS 26, with Apple Intelligence turned on

Clean up names runs every item through Apple's on-device intelligence to tidy its name into a concise, professional label and pick a standard category for it. It's a quick pass to run before you export or sign, so a scanned "Storage / Cabinet" reads as a clean "Dresser" on the inventory.

Who this is for: Estimators and admins polishing an inventory before it goes out. You'll need: An Apple Intelligence device (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) on iOS 26, with Apple Intelligence turned on.

What it changes

  • Names become concise, standard, sentence-case labels.
  • Categories are set to one standard category, which can also re-derive an item's weight from its cube at the new category's density, unless you've typed a weight by hand (a manual weight is never overwritten).
  • It never touches condition or damage. A scan can't see damage, so pre-existing damage is left entirely alone. Damage comes from photo analysis and your review, not from this step. See How damage codes work.

How to run it

  1. Open the job.

  2. Tap the options menu (the ••• button, top right).

  3. Tap Clean up names.

  4. The app shows "Refining names…" while it works, then updates the list.

Result: Each item's name and category are cleaned up in place. Everything else about each item is unchanged.

Good to know

  • It runs entirely on-device. No network is used, and no photos are involved.
  • The option is hidden after signing. Once an inventory is finalized it's read-only, so Clean up names isn't offered. See Finalize and sign.
  • Review the results. This is a cleanup helper, not a final authority. Skim the list afterward and fix anything that doesn't read right in the item editor.

Troubleshooting

  • "Cleaning up names needs an Apple Intelligence device (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) on iOS 26, with Apple Intelligence turned on." — your device or system doesn't support the on-device model. Check that you're on a supported device running iOS 26, and that Apple Intelligence is turned on in the iOS Settings app. On unsupported devices, edit names by hand in the item editor.
