A repeatable workflow
Stop rebuilding the same filename by hand.
Turn the way you already name files into a reusable recipe.
Preview every filename
Review the exact result before anything changes. Duplicate names, missing values, and collisions are caught first.
Rename the batch safely
Extensions are preserved, name swaps are handled safely, and the latest batch can be undone while the app is open.
See the result first
A clear before-and-after view for the entire batch.
Add a folder, enter the shared values your recipe needs, and inspect every generated filename in one place. Rename Recipes changes nothing until you confirm.
Private by design
Your files stay on your Mac.
Rename Recipes has no accounts, ads, analytics, tracking, or third-party data-collection SDKs. Filename processing and saved recipes remain local.

Data stored on your Mac
Saved recipes and preferences are stored locally. You can remove them by deleting recipes and app preferences, or by uninstalling the app and its local application data.
