Most invoices I get are named invoice.pdf, scan 4.pdf, or some nonsense from the copier. I drop the billing folder into Zush and get names like 2026-05-12 Acme contract review invoice. I still check the list, but the boring part is gone.

AI file renamer for Mac: when Zush is the right fit
Zush is an AI file renamer for Mac when Finder rules are not enough. It reads the file content first, then suggests searchable names for mixed Finder folders with screenshots, PDFs, photos, RAW files, videos, audio, design files, iWork, and Office documents.
- Use it for Downloads, Desktop, screenshots, photo imports, scanner output, and client folders where every file needs a different name.
- Review each AI filename before applying a batch, regenerate individual suggestions, and undo the rename from history if a folder needs another pass.
- Use cloud AI, BYOK with Gemini, Groq, OpenAI, or Claude, or Offline AI mode with local Ollama models on supported Mac builds.
What people say aboutZush
A few short notes from people who clean up messy folders with Zush.
I keep a separate de-identified archive for follow-up notes. With Offline AI, Zush can name scans by visit date and a short diagnosis phrase. It is not something I run blindly, but it cuts the typing way down.
My Fuji files all start life as DSCF-something. Zush pulls the EXIF date, then adds plain words like Kyoto rain or Miller family porch. When I search an old drive, I do not have to remember the folder name anymore.
B-roll used to be a guessing game: clip_001, export2, final maybe. Zush names clips by what is on screen plus the date. I still fix a few, but I spend a lot less time opening ten videos to find one shot.
Real-world scenarios
These are the everyday Mac workflows people use Zush for. Each one is a watch-folder or drag-and-drop away.
