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.

BETA

Sort files into folders with AI

Auto

AI groups files by content and names the folders.

Custom

Write a prompt to tell AI how to group your files.

Example prompt

“Group invoices by company and receipts by month.”

Example result

Downloads/scan_001.pdf→Clients/Acme/Acme_Invoice_1042.pdf

Clients is the destination you choose. Acme is the folder Zush suggests from the file. You review every move before applying it.

Downloads folder cleanup compared

What each Downloads folder fix actually solves

Most Downloads advice solves storage or sorting, not findability. A file you can search for needs a name that says what it is. Zush reads 107 formats and names each new file as it lands, in 60+ languages, with the first 50 renames free.

What each Downloads folder fix actually solves
Approach	Best for	Where it stops
Storage Sense	Reclaiming disk space by deleting Downloads files that have sat unopened past a cutoff you set	It decides what to remove, never what anything is called — the files you keep are still named download (7).pdf.
Sorting by file type	Splitting a flat folder into Documents, Images, and Installers so it stops looking like a dump	Moves the problem one level down: a folder of forty PDFs named scan_0042.pdf is no easier to search than a mixed folder was.
Manual triage	Small volumes, and the only approach that gets names exactly right every time	It competes with everything else you do, so it holds for about a week and the backlog quietly returns.
Zush folder monitoring	Naming every new file by what it contains, the moment it lands, with undo history for the whole folder	AI folder sorting is optional and currently in beta; review the proposed groups and use folder rules to guide the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Zush automate the Downloads folder?

Point folder monitoring at Downloads and Zush names every new file by content as it arrives — an invoice PDF becomes "Cloudflare – 2026-07 – Invoice.pdf", a screenshot becomes a description of what it shows. Files are renamed in place using the template you choose, and every change stays in rename history.

Does Zush move downloads into folders?

Zush can sort new downloads into folders with AI (beta), your own folder rules, and an optional destination folder. Keep sorting off to rename in place. Test a small batch before changing a workflow that relies on file paths.

Which kinds of downloads work best?

PDFs such as invoices, receipts, tickets, and statements; EPUB and FB2 ebooks; screenshots and images; Office documents and spreadsheets; audio and video. Zush supports 107 file extensions and leaves unsupported files untouched.

Can the Downloads folder use its own naming template?

Yes. Each monitored folder has its own template, so Downloads can use a vendor-date-category convention while Screenshots uses a simple AI title. Templates combine Naming Blocks — dates, vendors, amounts, counters — and Custom AI Blocks that extract any detail you describe.

Is monitoring my Downloads folder private?

You choose the mode: managed Cloud AI, BYOK with your own provider key, LM Studio or Ollama so supported analysis stays on your device. Files remain on your disk; users can optionally move them into AI-suggested folders.

Does this work on both Mac and Windows?

Yes. Zush has a native Mac app (macOS 15+) and a Windows build in the Microsoft Store. Folder monitoring, templates, Naming Blocks, and undo history work on both.
