File Renamers

We’ve all been there: A downloads or documents folder filled with important documents named with no rhyme or reason. Luckily, these apps are all about managing file and folder names, with many allowing you to rename files and folders in bulk! This should allow you to finally bring some order to your chaotic folders filled with important documents (or cat pictures; we won’t judge).
