What Batchio is
Batchio is a macOS app for renaming files with rules, including regular-expression and metadata-based rules. Its free plan includes core file-renaming features and rule types. Before applying a rename, users can preview the proposed changes, and undo support is listed for reversing changes. The free plan costs $0.00 USD. A one-time Pro purchase costs $9.99 USD and adds folder renaming, saved presets, folder automation, Finder Quick Action, and Shortcuts integration. Those additions extend the app from file renaming into recurring or folder-based workflows on a Mac. Batchio is listed for macOS only. That makes its platform scope clear for users organizing files on a Mac, while its listed feature set focuses on rule-driven changes and reviewing them before they are applied. The free plan covers core file renaming; Pro is required for folder renaming and the listed automation and integration features. There is no subscription price in the listed Pro plan: it is a one-time purchase.
