Remove Duplicate Files While You Rename
Zush compares the contents of the files in a batch, so copies are found whatever they are called: "notes (1).txt" and "IMG_2291 copy.png" are matched with their originals by their data, not by the (1) or the word copy. Copies never reach the AI, so they cost nothing, and you decide whether they stay, get marked in the filename, or move to the Trash.

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.
Folders Monitoring
Watch one or multiple folders — including iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive folders. Zush runs in the background and processes new files automatically.
Templates
Save reusable rename setups for screenshots, expenses, music tracks, client work, legal files, travel bookings, and monitored folders.
Naming Blocks
Build consistent filenames from 145+ blocks covering dates, file metadata, audio, photos, finance, legal, travel, clients, and AI-detected fields.
Custom AI Prompts
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.
