reNamerX
What it is
reNamerX is a free desktop application for batch file renaming on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It applies consistent rules to groups of files, including text operations, case changes, and sequential numbering, and can handle hundreds of files. A live preview displays proposed names before changes are applied. For more involved rules, users can apply regular expressions, insert dates and times, use metadata such as creation date and size, and save reusable presets. Files can be selected individually or through a directory selection. Batch changes can be undone with Ctrl+Z, and the app also supports redo. Its interface offers dark and cyberpunk themes. The project is distributed under the MIT License, with Windows MSI and EXE installer options in the repository. Windows requires version 10 or newer, a 64-bit system, at least 50MB of free disk space, and 4GB of recommended RAM. Building from source requires Node.js 16 or newer, npm or yarn, Rust and Cargo, and Git.
