Filera
What it is
Filera is a free batch file renaming tool for Linux, macOS and Windows, built to rename hundreds of files at once. Its visual pipeline includes find and replace, number sequences, dates, custom text and case conversion, without requiring scripting or regex. A preview shows current and proposed filenames side by side; files on disk remain unchanged until the user applies the rename. Filters can target files by name, file type, date range or size, and filtered-out files are skipped. Filera can traverse directory trees and subfolders in one pass. Users can rename files in place, copy renamed files to another directory or move them. The app supports metadata-based renaming, but not regex renaming, folder renaming or undoing changes. It is built with Tauri and Rust and identified as MIT licensed. Linux installation instructions list .deb packages for Debian and Ubuntu, plus .rpm packages for Fedora and RHEL. The Windows installer is not yet code-signed, so Windows Defender SmartScreen may show a warning.
