The old workflow
Renaming fifty thousand files with Windows Explorer is slow, opaque, and hard to trust. One-off scripts solve today's problem, then become tomorrow's brittle operational debt.
The Reforge workflow
Reforge lets you express naming and routing logic as deterministic rules, inspect the exact outcome before execution, and move through large file jobs locally with predictable results.
Capabilities
Build reusable rename and path rules from tokens instead of maintaining fragile throwaway scripts. Reforge keeps naming logic visible, repeatable, and easier to audit across large jobs.
Inspect source names, destination paths, and collisions before the job runs. No blind batch operations.
Reforge is designed for high-trust execution, with collision detection and safer file handling for bulk jobs.
Your file paths, project structures, and source media stay on your machine. No uploads, no cloud queue, no web app pretending to be a desktop workflow.
Why It Wins
The same rules produce the same structure every time.
Useful power without forcing every operator into script maintenance.
Folder structures and asset names never leave your workstation.
$4.99 USD one-time purchase. No subscription attached to basic file operations.
