What Batchio is
Batchio is a macOS app for renaming files with rules. Its free plan includes the core file-renaming features and rule types, including regular-expression and metadata-based renaming. A preview lets users inspect proposed changes before applying them, and undo support is listed for reversing changes. The free plan is listed as free. A Pro purchase costs 9.99 USD once and adds folder renaming, saved presets, folder automation, Finder Quick Action, and Shortcuts integration. Batchio is listed for macOS only, making it an option for people who want to manage file-renaming work on a Mac. The listed features center on rule-based renaming and checking changes before applying them; folder renaming and the additional workflow tools are part of Pro rather than the free plan.
