Media Renamer Pro
Mac · iPad · iPhone
Your media files already know what they are.
Media Renamer Pro reads what is actually inside your files, looks up the real title online when that helps, and builds a rename plan you review before anything moves.

One click. Now do that to a thousand files at once. Nothing is renamed until you say go, and every batch can be undone.
Six kinds of media
Most renamers do TV and movies. This one covers the rest of what is actually on your drives.
TV shows
Real episode titles from TVmaze, TMDb and OMDb.
Movies
Correct title and year, with the scene tags stripped out.
Photos and video
Date taken, camera, city, and on-device AI scene descriptions.
Music
Artist, album and track pulled from embedded tags.
Audiobooks
Author, title and series from Google Books and OpenLibrary.
Retro game ROMs
Clean titles and region tags from IGDB and RAWG.
Why people keep it
- Preview first. Every single change is visible before it happens.
- Full undo. One click puts the entire batch back.
- Conflict detection. It will not overwrite or clobber a file.
- Presets per media type. Set it up once, reuse it forever.
- Click-to-add naming tokens. No regex, no scripting.
- Works on network shares and NAS folders. Renames stay safe over SMB.
Private by design
Renaming happens on your device. Photo analysis runs on-device through Apple's Vision framework, so your pictures never leave your Mac or your phone. Turn on Local-Only Mode and the app makes zero network calls of any kind. No account, no tracking, no ads, no telemetry.
One purchase, every device
Universal app for Mac, iPad and iPhone. Buy it once and it runs on all three. On iPhone and iPad you can pick any folder in Files or iCloud Drive and rename right there, including folders on a network share.
Guides
Things I have had to figure out, written down properly.
How to name TV and movie files so Plex and Jellyfin actually match them
Folder structure, SxxExx, absolute vs aired anime ordering, subtitles, NFO sidecars, and renaming safely over a NAS.
Why batch renaming eats files, and the two-phase fix
Chains and swaps are what destroy files in a batch rename. Why one-at-a-time fails, and the probe most tools skip.
What breaks when you rename files over SMB and NAS shares
Atomic replace, free space, Finder tags and extended attributes, case sensitivity, and mid-batch failures.
How to move a Plex library without losing watch history
Watch history belongs to the item in the database, not the file. The safe sequence, and the one step that really does destroy your work.
