Massren is a cross-platform command line tool for renaming multiple files by editing a generated filename list in your own text editor. It supports undo, dry-run mode, moving files into subdirectories, and safety checks against accidental renames.

Use cases

• batch rename files using my text editor instead of regex tools
• rename hundreds of photos at once from the command line
• dry run a bulk file rename before applying it
• undo a multi-file rename operation
• move files into subdirectories while renaming them
• rename files with vim or sublime instead of learning a rename syntax

When to choose

• you prefer editing filenames in a familiar text editor over learning regex rename syntax
• you need cross-platform bulk renaming on Linux, macOS, or Windows
• you want undo and dry-run safety for mass rename operations

When to avoid

• you need a GUI rename tool with live preview
• you only need to rename one or two files
• you need prebuilt Windows binaries (discontinued since v1.3)
