What Transnomino is

Transnomino is a free batch renaming utility for Mac that applies changes to 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 filenames, paths, extensions, or full paths. It can also use creation dates, ID3 tags, and EXIF data in filenames or paths. For images with EXIF GPS data, latitude and longitude can be used to retrieve address details such as street, city, and country. Conversion options include Windows-compatible filenames, custom lookup tables, and CSV uploads for lookup conversions. A real-time preview shows results; actions can be sequenced and saved as reusable recipes. Files can be sorted automatically or rearranged by dragging and dropping. The app can be launched from the command line with directories and recipe files or recipe JSON as arguments. The listed current release, version 10.1.0, requires macOS 14 or later, while legacy releases are listed for older macOS versions including 13, 11, and 10.15. AppleScript automation was temporarily removed in version 9.0 during compatibility work.
