ExifRenamer
ExifRenamer is a free macOS app that renames photos, movie clips and audio clips from embedded date and time information. Its suggested YYYY-MM-DD_hh-mm-ss pattern gives filenames chronological order in Finder. Users can drag files onto the app icon or configure it as an automatic task in Apple Image Capture. A preview appears before renaming, with controls for naming styles, prefixes, suffixes, time-difference correction and sequence counters. The app can create a destination folder, move renamed files there and forward them to other applications. Listed formats include JPEG, TIFF, MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI, AIFF, AIF, WAV, MRW, NEF, CRW, CR2 and THM, with camera support including Casio, Olympus and Canon. ExifRenamer changes only filenames, not file contents. Some cameras may omit the required date and time metadata in supported formats, so extraction can fail. The page lists version 2.4.0 (15) and compatibility with macOS Sequoia. The plan is free, with optional donations.
