Configurable rules & filters
Define naming rules and narrow the files that should be included. Separate selection from transformation to make bulk changes easier to reason about.
Open source / Developer tools
Bring Order to Files. Without the Repetitive Work.
A lightweight file-renaming library and desktop application that turn repeated manual edits into configurable batch operations. Use the reusable library in a Node.js workflow or review changes visually in the desktop app.

awesome-renamer / CAPABILITIES & CONSIDERATIONS
One engine. Two ways to work.
Preview before changing files
Dry-run support and a desktop preview let users inspect proposed names before committing to a batch operation.
Reusable Node.js API
The library provides a reusable foundation for scripted workflows, while the Electron and React interface adds file selection and visual review.
Controlled batch processing
Concurrency controls manage batch work. Cross-platform filename considerations and clear error handling are important when working with real directories.
The Node.js package and Electron desktop application share a focus on configurable rules, previews, and controlled batch work.
