What it is

Transnomino is a free macOS utility for renaming many files at once. Its actions include find and replace, regular expressions, text insertion, prefixes and suffixes, numbering, trimming, case conversion, and diacritic removal. Actions can target a filename, path, extension, or full path. Creation dates, ID3 tags, and EXIF data can be inserted into names or paths; for images with EXIF GPS data, latitude and longitude can retrieve address information such as street, city, and country. Conversion features include Windows-compatible filenames, custom lookup tables, and CSV uploads for lookup conversions. Users can preview results in real time, sequence actions, save reusable recipes, and sort files automatically or by dragging. The app can be launched from the command line with directories and recipe files or recipe JSON. Version 10.1.0 requires macOS 14 or later, while legacy releases are listed for older macOS versions. AppleScript automation was temporarily removed in version 9.0 during Swift 6 strict concurrency compatibility work.
