Mac App Store Preview: Filr, The Simple File Tagger & Renamer

Developed by NovaStorm Software, Filr is a new simple utility for OS X that will be released tomorrow in the Mac App Store. The app, very user-friendly and straightforward in its approach, will let users do three things: rename files, tag them and apply comments to them. Unlike many other batch renaming tools available online, Filr will be focused on letting users modify one file at a time.

Tags you apply to files will be based on the OpenMeta standard, and thus will be compatible with most tagging softwares available for the Mac such as Ironic Software’s Leap 2. The Spotlight comments you’ll be able to attach to files will also be compatible with a variety of Mac apps such as Yojimbo or DEVONthink.

Overall, Filr looks like a really simple and focused app to quickly get more metadata into your Mac files, for more organization and better search functionalities in combination with other apps. Looking forward to it tomorrow, on the Mac App Store.
