Some things aren’t meant for everyone.
Hushes
A moment that waits for the right time, and the right people.
A Hush is hidden until its conditions are met. Then it opens as a small shared app, built from a fixed set of safe pieces. No code runs that we didn’t write.
01
Describe it
Write what should happen. Hush turns it into a draft on your phone. You review every detail.
02
Hide it
Choose who, and what has to happen first. Everything is encrypted before it leaves your device.
03
It unlocks
At the moment you chose, or when everyone agrees, it assembles into a small shared app.
04
Keep or erase
When it’s over, each person decides. Expired Hushes are deleted from our servers.
It opens when
Combine any of them. All must be true.
A time arrives
Friday at 7, a birthday, or 2040. Our server won’t release it a second early.
A specific person
Every @handle gets their own link and key. Nobody else can open it.
Everyone agrees
Mutual or group consent. What’s inside stays hidden until enough say yes, and a no is never sent.
A secret code
Shared in person, checked on the device. It never reaches us.
It becomes
- Letter
- Memories
- Music
- Countdown
- Decision
- Checklist
- Shared notes

Questions
What is a Hush?
Something you make for specific people that stays sealed until its conditions are met: a time, everyone agreeing, a secret code, or a mix. Then it opens as a small shared app — a letter, photos, a song, a countdown, a decision, a checklist, or notes.
Does Hush use AI to read what I write?
No. Your description is turned into a draft on your own phone by a fixed parser, and you confirm everything before it’s created. Nothing you type is sent to an AI service.
Does Hush block spam calls and texts?
Yes, on iPhone, once you turn it on in Settings (the app walks you through it). The call list comes from public FTC complaint reports, so it stops reported numbers, not every spammer. On Android 10 and later Hush screens calls. Android doesn’t let apps other than your default texting app filter SMS.
Can you read my Rooms or Pages?
No. They’re encrypted on your device, and the key is in the part of the link after “#”, which browsers never send to a server. We store data we can’t decrypt. Anyone you give the link to can open it, so share it only with people you trust.
Is this the Signal Protocol?
No. Messages use Double Ratchet–based end-to-end encryption built on libsodium, following the published X3DH and Double Ratchet designs, but not Signal’s libsignal library. Rooms and Pages use standard client-side encryption without forward secrecy. Nothing has been independently audited yet. The security page covers the details.
Can strangers message me?
No. Hush is invite-only. You can report or hide anything.
Is my handle my Hylaq handle?
Yes. Hush uses Hylaq’s registry, so one name works everywhere and nobody else can hold it.
What does it cost?
The beta is free.
