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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which spreadsheet formats can Zush rename?

Zush supports Excel and OpenDocument spreadsheet formats including XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLTX, XLTM, and ODS, plus CSV and TSV data files. The AI reads the content of each file — headers, sheet names, and data — to generate a descriptive name.

How does Zush know what a spreadsheet is about?

Zush analyzes the spreadsheet content: it reads column headers, sheet names, and the data itself, then sends the extracted content to an AI model that identifies the topic and generates a meaningful filename like "Q2 Marketing Budget" instead of "Book1".

Can I bulk rename a folder of Excel files?

Yes. Drop a folder of spreadsheets into Zush, review the suggested names, choose a naming pattern, and apply the whole batch at once. You can mix XLSX, CSV, and other files in the same folder.

Can I set a naming convention for all my spreadsheets?

Yes. Combine an AI title with dates, categories, clients, and your own Custom AI Blocks using templates and Naming Blocks, so every spreadsheet follows the same pattern.

Is my spreadsheet data sent to the cloud?

You choose the mode. Managed cloud is the default, BYOK uses your own provider key, and Offline AI mode analyzes files with a local Ollama model so supported file analysis never leaves your device. Only the content needed to generate a good filename is used, and files are renamed in place.
