ChronoFix

ChronoFix is a powerful, native macOS application designed to help you manage file timestamps with precision and ease. Whether you need to organize photos, correct file dates, or batch-update timestamps across multiple files, rename files, ChronoFix provides an intuitive interface with advanced features. Key Features Four Powerful Operation Modes • Offset Mode: Adjust timestamps by adding or subtracting time from current values. Perfect for correcting camera clock errors or timezone issues while preserving relative timing between files. • Fixed Mode: Set all selected files to the exact same date and time. Ideal for organizing files by event date or creating uniform timestamps. • Copy Mode: Copy one timestamp type to another.
