Helper for GoPro Files helps you organize and clean up the files from your GoPro camera quickly and automatically.
After a shoot, your memory card is often full of videos, photos, and additional helper files with cryptic names. This app brings order to your footage in just a few clicks – simply select your GoPro folder and let it do the work.
Features:
- Automatically sorts your video and photo files into a separate folder for each day.
- Automatically renames video and photo files to clear, consistent names.
- Automatically deletes unnecessary *.lrv (low-resolution preview) and *.thm (thumbnail) files.
- Optionally marks the first file of a recording with a Finder tag, so multi-part recordings are easy to spot.
- Customizable naming templates for videos and photos.
- Optionally scans subfolders, so entire card structures can be processed at once.
- Simply drag and drop your folder, or pick it from your Mac or memory card.
How it works:
1. Choose your GoPro folder.
2. Select the options you want.
3. Done – your files are neatly organized and renamed.

Usefull

I initially gave this a 1 star review as it wouldn't rename my files. My problem was not trusting it so I moved the files out of the main folder and tried to use some of the custom settings. That didn't work. Once I just went for it and used the gopro folder directly from the media card, it sort of works appropriately. I use the movies only setting and very basic renaming structure and it works. It does append a "_x" to all files and i can't get it to not do this so there is still manual bulk renaming to do from the Finder window. Overall it's worth $1.99 because gopros proprietary naming system is garbage.
I actually might stay with GoPro now

I was literally ready to throw my GoPro's out the window with how frustrating it is to organize files for long recording sessions and in literally less than 30 seconds I renamed over 6 hours of footage in chronological order. This $2 app saved me hours of organization and frustration. So glad I found this.Sometimes the app is fickle and will hang after pressing Start, but I can't tell if that's an Apple Silicon thing or an app issue. Seems to have to do with how I have spaces or underscores in the file names. If that would be fixed it'd be 5 stars from me.

This app is amazing and works really well besides the fact that my gopro will freeze up when turned on, and doesn't seem to recognize the SD card anymore after using this app. After formatting the SD card, the gopro recognized it and functions normally.
Easy to get GoPro files organized

Simple and effective. Drag your GoPro video folder into the app, select options, and result is your video files 1) sorted by each recording session and 2) renamed in the order they were created. Also tags the first file of each recording session with a color dot. Save a lot of time and frustration using this app. It's worth a few bucks!
