How it works
Four steps, one button.
01

Download

Paste video or image links. It fetches clean H.264/AAC copies — trims, archive segments, and whole photo pages handled for you.

02

Fill the sheet

Connect a Google Sheet — or use a local sheet on your Mac. It writes each filename into the next open rows.

03

Rename

It reads back the asset names your sheet generates and renames the files on disk to match, exactly.

04

Link back

Finally it writes every source link into the sheet — a closed loop, no copy-pasting, fully undoable.
