Let’s be honest: renaming files one by one is a special kind of torture. Whether it’s a season of TV shows with names like Episode_1_unsorted_x264.mkv or a photo dump from your phone ( IMG_001 , IMG_002 …), the manual grind kills your flow.

Gnamer (pronounced "namer" — the G is silent) is a free, open-source bulk file renaming utility designed primarily for media files like movies, TV shows, and music. Unlike generic renaming tools that just let you find/replace text, Gnamer connects to online databases (TMDB, TheTVDB, etc.) to automatically fetch the correct title, season, episode number, and even metadata. gnamer
