A terminal UI tool for bulk file renaming. Select files, stack operations, preview changes, and execute -- all without leaving the terminal.

• Three-panel TUI -- file list, operation stack, and live preview side by side
• Stackable operations -- chain multiple rename transforms in order:
  • Find & Replace
  • Regex Replace
  • Sequential Numbering (prefix, suffix, or replace)
  • Case Change (lower, UPPER, Title)
  • Add Prefix / Suffix
  • Remove Pattern
  • Slugify
• Live preview with conflict detection before any files are touched
• Wildcard filtering (*, ?) to narrow down the file list
• Glob and directory input -- pass a directory, glob pattern, or let the shell expand it
• Recursive mode (-r) to include subdirectories

brew install daikazu/tap/renx

Requires Rust (stable):

git clone https://github.com/daikazu/renx.git
cd renx
cargo build --release

The binary will be at target/release/renx.

# Current directory
renx

# Specific directory
renx ~/downloads

# Glob pattern (quote to prevent shell expansion)
renx '~/downloads/*.jpeg'

# Recursive
renx -r ~/projects

1. Select files -- browse the file list, toggle individual files or select all
2. Add operations -- build a pipeline of rename transforms (they apply in order)
3. Preview -- see exactly what each file will be renamed to, with conflicts highlighted in red
4. Execute -- confirm and rename
