Hush: Focus & Screen Privacy

Hush hides everything on your Mac except what you're working on. Icons, wallpaper, other apps - all behind a clean blur. One hotkey, and the noise is gone.

Great for focusing, privacy in public places, or sharing your screen without showing your messy desktop.

Free to download: Desktop Mode is free forever. Try everything free for 5 days - then one purchase unlocks it all. No subscription, ever.

THREE WAYS TO USE IT

Desktop Mode (free forever)

That pre-call panic when you realize your desktop is showing? Gone. One tap and your wallpaper, icons, and widgets are hidden behind a clean overlay. Pick a blur, a color, or drop in your own background image.

Active Window Mode (Pro)

Blur everything except the window you're working in. Or switch to Selected Apps and pick a few that stay visible - Cmd+Tab to a new one and it's added automatically. Your brain stops wandering because there's nothing to wander to.

Cursor Focus Mode (Pro)

Everything dims. A clear circle follows your cursor like a flashlight. Scroll to resize. Feels cinematic - perfect for presentations and demos where you want eyes on one thing.

Hide the Dock and menu bar too if you really want to disappear into your work.

SCREEN SHARING WITHOUT THE ANXIETY

You know the moment. Someone says "share your screen" and you suddenly see your desktop through their eyes. Hush catches this - it auto-activates the second you start sharing in Zoom, Meet, Teams, or anything else. When the call ends, it quietly turns off. You never think about it.

And forget the "share one window, stop sharing, pick another, reshare" dance. Share your full screen, pick the apps that stay visible, switch freely. Your audience sees what you meant to show them. Nothing else.
