Product snapshot
Name Mangler is a Mac utility for renaming groups of files quickly. It combines an easy-to-use interface with powerful options so you can add or change sequences, insert text fragments, and apply complex patterns across many files at once.
Core renaming options
- Add or change suffixes to filenames
- Insert or alter leading text (prefixes)
- Modify, remove, or replace individual characters
- Apply sequential numbering and numeric patterns
How to perform a batch rename
- Press the Play button to execute the rename after you’ve configured the action
- Choose the specific operation you want to run (for example, replace text, add numbers, or change case)
- Drag the files you want to rename into the app window to load them
Droplets and music support
- Create a saved droplet (via the down-arrow menu) that lives on your Mac — drop files onto it at any time to rename them automatically
- Build playlists and work with most common audio formats when organizing music collections
Known limitations
- Drag-and-drop can become sluggish if you select a large number of items at once, which may slow workflow for very big batches
Recent updates
- Added two Advanced-mode operations: decrement and increment for arithmetic-based renaming
- Introduced a preference to allow filenames to begin with a dot; enable it with:
defaults write com.manytricks.NameMangler "Allow Dot Prefix" -bool YES - Fixed an issue that previously restricted sequential numbering to six digits, removing that cap so numbers can be longer now
