Recommended

Microsoft Store

Distributed through the Microsoft Store so installation, package trust, and updates follow the standard Windows Store flow.

  1. 1
    Open the Microsoft Store listing Click Install and let the Store handle the package download and publisher trust flow.
  2. 2
    Wait for the package to download Windows installs the package through the same Store update channel used by other desktop apps.
  3. 3
    Launch Zush from Start Future updates arrive through the Store, so you do not need to download a separate installer.
Download from the Microsoft Store
First run

Quickstart in 60 seconds

From the Microsoft Store install to ongoing folder monitoring, the whole flow on Windows fits in a single coffee break.

  1. ~10s

    Pin Zush to Start

    After install, Zush appears in the Start menu. Right-click → Pin to Start so it’s one click away.

  2. ~20s

    Drag files from File Explorer

    Open the dropzone, then drag selected files from Explorer, OneDrive, or Desktop. Mixed types are handled in one batch.

  3. ~20s

    Review the suggested names, then apply

    Edit any name inline or hit Regenerate. When you’re happy, apply — Zush renames the originals in place without changing modified dates.

  4. ~10s

    Watch a folder for ongoing cleanup

    Open the Monitor tab → Add folder → pick Downloads or a OneDrive folder. New supported files get descriptive names automatically, and you can exclude file types you do not want processed.

Integrations

Native integrations

Zush plugs into the parts of Windows you already use every day — File Explorer, Snipping Tool, OneDrive, and Windows Search.

  • File Explorer drag-and-drop

    Drag selected files from File Explorer into Zush, including files from Desktop, Downloads, and ordinary OneDrive folders.

  • Snipping Tool capture

    Save Snipping Tool screenshots into a Zush-monitored folder. Each new capture gets a descriptive name automatically — no PowerShell, no scripts.

  • PowerToys-friendly

    Zush handles the AI side, PowerToys handles bulk renaming patterns. They live happily next to each other on the same machine.

  • OneDrive sync aware

    Use Zush with normal OneDrive folders and let active sync finish before applying very large rename batches.

  • Windows search index

    After Zush renames a file, the new filename becomes available to Windows Search when that folder is indexed.

  • Light & dark theme

    Follows your Windows personalization settings so the app stays comfortable in light and dark mode.

Workflows

Real-world scenarios

These are the everyday Windows workflows people use Zush for. Each one is a watch-folder or drag-and-drop away.

Snipping Tool captures

Point your Snipping Tool save folder at a Zush watched directory. Every new capture is renamed to describe what’s on screen within seconds.

Downloads folder cleanup

Watch the Downloads folder. PDFs, ZIPs, signed contracts, and exports from web tools all get readable names as they land — no manual renaming.

OneDrive camera roll

Sync photos from your phone into OneDrive’s Camera Roll. Zush AI vision renames them by what’s in the photo so they’re searchable later.

Outlook email attachments

Save attachments into a Zush-watched folder. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files get names from their actual content.

Screen recordings and clips

Zush samples video frames and optional subtitle context so recordings, demos, and clips get names that describe what is visible.

Receipts from PDF & scanner

Drop a folder of scanned receipts and PDFs. Zush reads vendor, date, and content from PDF text and writes filenames you can search a year later.

Bulk rename before sharing

Pick a USB drive, SD card, or any folder. Drop the whole batch onto Zush — hundreds of files get unique descriptive names in one pass.

Privacy

Security & privacy

Zush uses the standard Microsoft Store install path, Windows Credential Manager for keys, and clear data boundaries.

  • Microsoft Store distribution

    Windows users install Zush from the Microsoft Store, using the Store package identity and update channel instead of a side-loaded installer.

  • Store-managed package

    The Store manages package trust and updates, which keeps installation predictable for personal and managed Windows devices.

  • Originals stay on-device

    Cloud mode only sends the analysis payload (compressed preview or extracted text). Offline AI mode sends nothing — Ollama runs locally.

  • Secure key storage

    BYOK keys are stored in the Windows Credential Manager (DPAPI). They never leave the device unencrypted.
