About Hush

Hush is a sleek Mac menu bar application designed to enhance privacy during screen sharing and presentations. With a simple hotkey, users can instantly obscure their desktop clutter, hiding icons, dock, wallpaper, and widgets behind a customizable blur overlay. Its dual modes—Desktop Mode and Focus Mode—offer flexibility: Desktop Mode blurs the entire background for complete concealment, while Focus Mode allows users to specify which apps remain visible, keeping sensitive information hidden. This tool is ideal for remote workers, educators, and professionals who frequently share their screens and want a quick, unobtrusive way to maintain privacy and reduce visual distractions. What sets Hush apart is its ease of use, minimal footprint, and instant toggle capability, making it a practical addition to any productivity setup.
