Desktop-native feel

Native, fast, and modern

Zush feels like a real desktop app: quick to open, clean to use, and visually at home on your machine 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.

91 supported formats

Screenshots, PDFs, photos, documents, and videos

Supports AVIF, RAW, Office files, PDFs, subtitles, and common video formats, so mixed folders can be renamed by actual content instead of file-type silos.

Low-risk automation

Batch rename, watch folders, undo safely

Use Zush as a batch file renamer for old piles, an automatic file renamer for new folders, and a low-risk workflow with full rename history.

Available on both desktops

Pick your platform — same Zush, native everywhere

A signed and notarized .dmg for macOS. A Microsoft Store install for Windows. Same renaming engine, same BYOK and Offline AI mode, native to each OS.

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.

Amazon Invoice 2026-03.pdf

Invoices

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

Contracts

Counterparty, agreement type, status, and date make legal PDFs easier to retrieve.

Institution and reporting period are pulled from the PDF instead of guessed from the download name.

For image-only scans, AI vision reads visible page content when there is no embedded text layer.

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.

Tool Best for Filename gap
Finder / File Explorer One-off manual renames You still have to open each PDF, read it, decide on a name, and repeat that for every file.
Preview Reading, marking up, exporting, and signing PDFs on Mac Preview does not batch-generate content-aware filenames for invoices, contracts, scans, and statements.
Adobe Acrobat OCR, editing, forms, signatures, and PDF review workflows Acrobat helps manage PDF content, but filename cleanup is still largely a separate manual workflow.
Zush Turning weak PDF filenames into searchable document names Zush reads text layers or scanned pages, extracts entities and dates, then previews names before applying them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. When a PDF contains scanned pages rather than selectable text, Zush falls back to AI vision models that can read the content from the page images. This works well for scanned invoices, receipts, and letters.

Pay once, use forever

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