FileBot is a powerful, free and open-source (with a paid Pro version) file renaming and organization tool for Mac (and other operating systems). It[SQ]s primarily used to automatically rename and organize downloaded movies, TV shows, and music, making your media library much cleaner and easier to navigate.

Here[SQ]s what it does :

*

Automatic Renaming:

FileBot uses various online databases (like The Movie Database (TMDb) and TheTVDB) to identify your media files based on their filenames or content. It then renames them according to a consistent, customizable naming scheme (e.g., "Movie Title (Year)") including the appropriate extensions. This eliminates inconsistent and messy filenames.

*

Organization:

It can move your renamed files into a structured folder system based on the title, year, season, and episode information it retrieves. This automatically creates neatly organized folders for your media.

*

Batch Processing:

FileBot excels at handling large numbers of files at once, significantly speeding up the process of organizing a large media library.

*

Multiple File Types:

It supports a variety of file types beyond just video and audio, including subtitles. It can even match subtitles to their corresponding videos.

*

Customizability:

You have extensive control over the renaming scheme, folder structure, and other aspects of the process, allowing you to tailor it to your preferences.

*

Scripting and Advanced Features (Pro Version):

The paid Pro version unlocks more advanced features, like scripting for automation, improved speed and more powerful matching algorithms.

In short, FileBot simplifies the often tedious and time-consuming task of organizing large media collections on your Mac. It saves you a lot of manual work and helps maintain a clean, easily browsable library.
