Mac-first feel

Native, fast, and modern

Zush feels like a real macOS app: quick to open, clean to use, and visually at home on the desktop instead of feeling like a clunky utility panel.

Sssupafast!

Renames happen in seconds

Speed matters because cleanup only sticks if it does not interrupt the real work. Drop files in, review, apply, move on.

Pro photo support

Native RAW support for photographers

Supports professional camera formats like CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, and RW2, so photographers can rename imports by actual image content instead of living with `IMG_` chaos.

Low-risk automation

Batch, monitor, and undo

Clean up old piles in batch, keep new folders readable with monitoring, and revert from history if you want a different name.

Frequently Asked Questions

Functionally yes — both terms describe renaming many files at once in one operation. "Batch rename" is the standard term on macOS (Finder calls its built-in tool "Rename Finder Items" and every Apple tutorial uses "batch"). "Bulk rename" is more common on Windows because of the popular Bulk Rename Utility. This page uses both terms interchangeably.

Pay once, use forever

No subscriptions, no hidden fees. Just a simple one-time purchase.
