Can each client have their own naming convention?

Yes. Templates are reusable setups — one per client or one shared across all clients. A Template controls the filename structure, date format, vendor spelling, and any Custom AI Block fields like expense categories.

Does it work with scanned paper documents?

Yes. When a scan has no text layer, Zush reads the page image with AI vision, so scanner output like Scan0001.pdf follows the same convention as born-digital PDFs — no separate OCR pass.

Is client financial data kept private?

Renaming happens in place on your disk — Zush never uploads or stores your files. For analysis, choose your posture: managed cloud AI, BYOK through your own API account, or Offline AI with local models so supported files never leave the machine.

Does Zush charge per document?

No. Paid PRO is unmetered — $10/month or $48 one-time for unlimited renames. There are no per-file credits, so re-running a folder after a convention change costs nothing. The first 50 renames are free to evaluate.

Zush for Accountants and Bookkeepers

Zush reads every invoice, receipt, statement, and scan in a client folder and renames it to your convention — "download (7).pdf" becomes "2026-06-12 – Acme Supply – INV-10234 – 1,204 USD" — so reconciliation and close start from folders that are already inventories.

3 secure ways to run Zush

Cloud AI that works out of the box, your own API key, or fully offline with Ollama.

Cloud AI

FREE

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

PRO 🌟

Connect your own API key from Gemini, Groq, OpenAI, or Claude for unlimited cloud renames. Keys are stored locally in secure platform storage.

Private Offline AI

PRO 🌟

Run supported file analysis locally with Ollama. No analysis content goes to Zush cloud or third-party AI providers.

Watch one or multiple folders — including iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive folders. Zush runs in the background and processes new files automatically.

PDF naming workflows

Built for invoices, contracts, scans, and statements

PDF cleanup is different from renaming photos or screenshots. The useful filename is usually hidden in the document text: vendor names, counterparties, dates, form numbers, billing periods, and signatures.

Invoices

Vendor, document type, invoice period, and date keep accounting folders sortable.

Workflow comparison

Where Zush fits next to Finder, Preview, and Adobe Acrobat

Zush does not replace PDF readers or editors. It fills the repetitive filename step after PDFs are downloaded, scanned, signed, exported, or received by email.

ToolBest forFilename gap

Finder / File ExplorerOne-off manual renamesYou still have to open each PDF, read it, decide on a name, and repeat that for every file.

PreviewReading, marking up, exporting, and signing PDFs on MacPreview does not batch-generate content-aware filenames for invoices, contracts, scans, and statements.

Adobe AcrobatOCR, editing, forms, signatures, and PDF review workflowsAcrobat helps manage PDF content, but filename cleanup is still largely a separate manual workflow.

ZushTurning weak PDF filenames into searchable document namesZush reads text layers or scanned pages, extracts entities and dates, then previews names before applying them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zush reads every invoice, receipt, statement, and scan, and renames it to your convention — vendor, date, invoice number, amount — in reviewed batches with undo. Folder monitoring keeps client intake folders continuously named, so month-end close starts from a folder that is already an inventory.
