Features

Everything between download
and play.

ReelName handles the tedious middle step. Point it at your files, review the matches, and let it do the rest.

TMDB Matching

Automatic identification against The Movie Database. Smart scoring weighs title similarity, year, media type, and popularity to pick the best match.

Smart Naming

Formats files exactly how Plex and Jellyfin expect. Movies, episodes, specials, and extras — each gets the right folder structure and filename.

Local & SSH Transfer

Copy files to a local drive or push them to a remote server via SFTP. Resumable transfers so interruptions don't mean starting over.

All Media Types

Movies, TV episodes, specials (Season 0), and extras like behind-the-scenes, deleted scenes, featurettes, trailers, and more.

Transfer Queue

Queue up transfers and watch them run. Real-time progress with speed, ETA, and per-file status streamed via server-sent events.

Desktop App

Runs as a native app on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Sits in your system tray, launches instantly, and opens in your browser.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero config files.

No YAML, no templates, no regex. Just point, review, and transfer.

Scan

Point ReelName at a folder. It parses filenames to extract titles, years, seasons, episodes, quality, and codec information automatically.

Match

Each group is matched against TMDB. High-confidence matches are auto-confirmed. Ambiguous results are flagged for your review — pick the right one and move on.

Transfer

Choose a destination — local path or remote server via SSH — and ReelName handles the rest. Files land in the right folders with the right names, ready for your media server.
