Bulk rename files by real content before you apply changes
Your naming system, powered by AI
Combine file content, metadata, dates, custom instructions, and reusable blocks into filenames that match the way you work. Zush suggests — you review and decide.
Smart Batch Rename
Analyze and rename 100+ file formats in one batch, from images, EPUB and FB2 ebooks, and PDFs to audio, video, and Office files. Describe any detail for Zush to extract, then reuse it as a Custom AI Block in any template.
Choose where AI runs
Choose Zush Cloud, BYOK, LM Studio or Ollama for the same review-first rename workflow.
Cloud AI
Goes through our relay to a commercial AI provider, under their standard API terms. The relay exists so the API key can’t be pulled out of the app.
Bring Your Own Key
Connect your own API key from Gemini, OpenRouter, OpenAI, or Claude for cloud renames; FREE includes 50 across all modes and PRO is unlimited. Keys are stored locally in secure platform storage.
Private Local AI Options
Keep supported analysis on your device with LM Studio or Ollama. Each local mode works offline after setup.
Watch one or multiple folders — including iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive folders. Zush runs in the background and processes new files automatically.
Save reusable rename setups for screenshots, expenses, music tracks, client work, legal files, travel bookings, and monitored folders.
Build consistent filenames from 145+ blocks covering dates, file metadata, audio, photos, finance, legal, travel, clients, and AI-detected fields.
Set rename, tagging, and metadata rules so AI output follows your style and workflow.
Automatically add Finder tags and Spotlight metadata. Find files instantly with natural search queries.
Keep track of every change. Made a mistake? Rollback to the original filename with one click.

Downloads folder cleanup compared
What each Downloads folder fix actually solves
Most Downloads advice solves storage or sorting, not findability. A file you can search for needs a name that says what it is. Zush reads 107 formats and names each new file as it lands, in 60+ languages, with the first 50 renames free.
| Approach | Best for | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Storage Sense | Reclaiming disk space by deleting Downloads files that have sat unopened past a cutoff you set | It decides what to remove, never what anything is called — the files you keep are still named download (7).pdf. |
| Sorting by file type | Splitting a flat folder into Documents, Images, and Installers so it stops looking like a dump | Moves the problem one level down: a folder of forty PDFs named scan_0042.pdf is no easier to search than a mixed folder was. |
| Manual triage | Small volumes, and the only approach that gets names exactly right every time | It competes with everything else you do, so it holds for about a week and the backlog quietly returns. |
| Zush folder monitoring | Naming every new file by what it contains, the moment it lands, with undo history for the whole folder | It names files in place rather than filing them away, so you still choose the folder structure you want. |
