Your files stay local
Review media on your Mac without an upload or account workflow. Rename files in place while keeping their original contents.
The loop
Open folder, preview, rename, repeat
Open a folder
Choose a media folder from the app menu or toolbar. Try a copy first: renaming changes the actual filenames.
Preview in place
Photos render normally. Videos play in the preview pane and can be sped up or shown fullscreen.
Rename or skip
Type a name without the extension and press Enter. Leave the box blank to skip, or use Command-Z to undo a rename during the session.
