## Description

Version 3.6 is here! Roman numerals & alphabetical series, 1-click regex snippet picker, and EXIF/Audio metadata pre-sorting.

THE MOST POWERFUL BATCH FILE RENAMING APP FOR MAC AND IOS.

BatchRename transforms hours of manual file renaming into seconds. Our intuitive interface makes bulk renaming effortless. Whether you're a photographer organizing RAW files, a musician tagging an album library, a developer cleaning up project assets, or anyone who works with files - BatchRename handles it all.

WHY BATCHRENAME?
BatchRename is built from the ground up using native SwiftUI. Manual renaming is slow, error-prone, and painful - BatchRename gives you a live preview before you commit, an interactive Undo History to safely roll back changes, and a powerful rule engine that handles any renaming scenario imaginable.
