How Zush AI Renames Your Files

Powerful features packed into a simple, elegant interface

AI Analysis

Advanced AI analyzes images and supported documents, including PDFs, to generate meaningful, descriptive filenames automatically.

Folders Monitoring

Watch one or multiple folders. Zush runs in the background and processes new files automatically.

  • ~/Desktop
  • ~/Projects/Design/Assets
  • Add Folder

Batch Rename

Drag and drop multiple files at once. Zush will analyze and rename them all in seconds.

  • Screenshot 2026-02-21.png → Kanban Board UI.png
  • notes-final-v3.docx → Hiring Plan Notes.docx
  • investor-update-final.pptx → Investor Update Deck.pptx

Custom Patterns

Set your own file naming pattern with variables like {title}, {original}, {date}, {time}, or {category}.

  • {Title}{Date}{Category}
  • Project_Zush_2026-03-20_Design.png

Smart Metadata

Automatically add Finder tags and Spotlight metadata. Find files instantly with natural search queries.

Rename History

Keep track of every change. Made a mistake? Rollback to the original filename with one click.

  • notes_FINAL_copy.docx → Dashboard Review Notes.docx
  • q1_report_export.xlsx → Q1 Revenue Report.xlsx

Desktop-native feel

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.

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.

Pro photo support

Supports professional camera formats like CR2, NEF, ARW, DNG, RAF, and RW2, so photographers can rename imports by actual image content instead of living with IMG_ chaos.

Low-risk automation

Clean up old piles in batch, keep new folders readable with monitoring, and revert from history if you want a different name.

  1. Batch old piles
  2. Watch new folders
  3. Revert from history

From designers to developers — Zush saves hours for everyone who works with files

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does auto-rename process new files?

Zush detects new files within seconds of them appearing in a watched folder. The AI analysis typically takes a few seconds per file depending on size and type, so most files are renamed almost as quickly as they arrive.

Can I auto-rename files in multiple folders at once?

Yes. You can set up monitoring on as many folders as you like — Downloads, Desktop, a camera import folder, project directories, and more. Each folder is watched independently and files are renamed as they appear.

What happens if the AI gives a file a bad name?

Every rename is logged in Zush's history, so you can revert any file to its original name with one click. You can also start with manual review mode, where Zush suggests names but waits for your approval before applying them.

Does auto-rename work when my computer is asleep?

Auto-rename requires Zush to be running, so it pauses when your computer is asleep or the app is quit. Once your machine wakes up and Zush is open again, it will automatically process any files that arrived while it was inactive.

How is this different from Hazel or Automator?

Hazel and Automator use rules you define manually — like "if filename contains X, rename to Y." Zush uses AI to actually understand file content, so it can generate descriptive names for files it has never seen before without any rule configuration.

Pay once, use forever

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