Installation

CineRename is available natively for Windows, macOS, and Linux thanks to Tauri v2.

Downloads

You can download the binaries from the official download page.

OSFormat
Windows 10/11 (x64).exe (installer)
macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon).dmg
Linux (universal).AppImage

You can also use the Download page on the website, which automatically detects your system.

Windows

  1. Download the installer CineRename-Setup.exe.
  2. Run it. If Windows SmartScreen displays a warning, click on More infoRun anyway (the extended validation certificate is pending).
  3. The installer places CineRename in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\CineRename.

macOS

  1. Open the .dmg then drag CineRename into Applications.
  2. On first launch, right-click → Open (and confirm) to allow execution (the application is undergoing notarization with Apple).
  3. For subsequent launches, double-clicking is sufficient.

Apple Silicon

The current version is compiled as a universal binary. If you experience performance issues, check in About This Mac → System Report that the application is running natively (not via Rosetta).

Linux

  1. Download CineRename.AppImage.
  2. Make the file executable:
    bash
    chmod +x CineRename.AppImage
  3. Run:

TIP

To integrate CineRename into your applications menu, use AppImageLauncher.
