If this sounds like your week
People who type “Normalize underscores versus dashes DAM ingest offline folder-first workflow” have already been burned by a character class once. The answer is not “never regex”; it is regex with a preview and a local engine you control.
Where tooling usually breaks
The moment someone else has to run it, the documentation debt appears.
Where Reforge lands
Automata Labs Reforge makes batch rename a reviewable action: rules you can hand off, on macOS and Windows, without a fragile script zoo.

FAQ
Reforge is a native rule-driven batch renamer and file router from Automata Labs for macOS and Windows. Build deterministic path logic, preview before you execute, and keep large file jobs local—no cloud drive gymnastics. One-time license. If you are outgrowing ad-hoc scripts, brittle Finder tricks, and “I will fix filenames later” debt, you are the user Reforge is for.
Because regex is powerful and humans are not perfect. Reforge is built around seeing the destination names and folder moves before the filesystem changes—so “oops” is not a data-loss story.
If you like writing scripts at 1 a.m., you can. Reforge is for the rest of the team: repeatable rules, a desktop UI, and the same project on both Mac and Windows without translating shell dialects.
As deep as your discipline. Reforge pairs pattern power with a preview that shows what will actually happen, which is the difference between a clever one-liner and a Monday morning recovery job.
Reforge is a deterministic file rename and folder-routing engine: preview, execute, and keep it all on-device—no brittle script zoo.
