Aligna is a focused batch file renamer that cuts down repetitive renaming. Pick files, choose presets, and preview every new name before you apply changes. The 8 included presets are: - Add a date at the start - Add a date at the end - Add sequence numbers - Replace spaces with underscores - Remove invalid characters - Rename JPEG photos by capture date - Rename MP3 files as Artist - Title - Rename MP3 files as Track - Title If target names conflict, you can add numbers automatically or skip the conflicting files. The free version can rename up to 10 files per operation. A one-time Pro purchase removes only this file-count limit; all 8 presets remain available in the free version. On Android, supported files are renamed in place within the access you grant. On iOS, originals selected in Files are renamed in place. Imported copies are saved as new files. No account, ads, subscription, or cloud file processing. Aligna does not upload your files to an external server for renaming.
