About:
MetaRename is a macOS utility designed for batch renaming files using their embedded metadata. It supports reading from various file types including photos, music, and documents to extract information like EXIF data, ID3 tags, or document properties. The tool provides a flexible templating system to construct new filenames based on this metadata, streamlining large-scale file organization tasks.

Key Features:

Batch processing of files and folders
Metadata extraction (EXIF, ID3, etc.)
Customizable filename templates
Real-time preview of changes
Undo functionality

Use Cases:

Organizing a large photo library by date and camera model
Renaming music files based on artist, album, and track number
Standardizing document filenames with creation date and author

Alternatives:

A Better Finder Rename – More advanced but paid alternative with extensive options
NameChanger – Free alternative with a focus on sequential numbering and basic metadata
