rename-CLI is a cross-platform tool for renaming files quickly, especially multiple files at once.
This is free and open source software.

- Glob file matching.
- Command history with ability to undo entire batches or individual operations and re-run batches.
- Ability to save commands as favorites to re-run them quickly.
- Customize by adding your own variables and filters.
- Auto-indexing when renaming multiple files to the same name.
