Need to rename a pile of photos or files at once — IMG_4821 to Trip_001, or scans to 2026-07-18_Receipt? Renamely batch-renames them on your iPhone with text, a number sequence and a date, and shows every new name before anything changes. Choose photos, files or a whole folder, build a name pattern, check the live preview, then rename. • NAME PATTERNS — your own text at the start, optionally followed by the original file name, a number sequence and a date. Choose the separator: underscore, hyphen, space or period. • NUMBER SEQUENCE — pick the starting number and 1 to 4 digits (1, 01, 001 or 0001). • DATES FROM THE FILE OR THE PHOTO — use the file date or the date the photo was taken (EXIF), in formats like 2026-07-18, 20260718, 2026-07-18_1430 or Jul 18 2026. • LIVE PREVIEW — see the new names before you commit. Duplicate names get _2, _3 … automatically, so nothing is overwritten. • RENAME A FOLDER IN PLACE — pick a folder in Files and its files are renamed right there, safely in two steps so no file clobbers another. • PHOTOS AND FILES — save the renamed copies to Photos under their new names, or to Files, or share them; the originals are left as they are. Good to know: the Photos library itself doesn't let apps rename pictures, so photos come out as renamed copies. Folder renaming covers the files directly inside the chosen folder, not subfolders or hidden files. File extensions are kept. Everything runs on your iPhone — your files are never uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free on up to 3 files. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited renaming. No subscription, no ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Renamely at every 3 days against RECS's every 2 months. RECS's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
