A script could fix it in seconds, but one wrong loop can overwrite half a folder with no way back. TidyBatch is the safe way to clean up files in bulk.

WHAT IT DOES
• Rename hundreds of files at once: counters and dates (holiday_{n:03} → holiday_001.jpg), regex find/replace, and removal of accents, spaces and symbols.
• Name and sort photos by the date they were TAKEN (EXIF: JPEG, iPhone HEIC, RAW), not the file date.
• Sort folders into Images / Documents / Videos…, by year/month, or by extension.
• Find exact duplicates by content (SHA-256): keeps the oldest, moves the rest to _duplicates/.

WHY IT’S SAFE

1. Preview by default: nothing changes until you add --apply.
2. One-command undo: “tidybatch undo [folder]” puts every file back.
3. Never deletes, never overwrites: clashes get _1, _2.

WHAT YOU GET
• Ready-to-run apps for Windows and Linux
• macOS: the same tool as one Python script (python3 tidybatch.py)
• Source code, recipe guide, free 1.x updates

FREE VS PRO
The rename + undo engine is open source (MIT): github.com/tidybatch/tidybatch. Read the code before you trust it. Pro adds organize, dedupe and the ready-to-run apps.
