Hush: Secret Hidden Messenger1.4.1 - App Store

Hand your phone to anyone. They see a keypad - and no proof you talk to anyone at all.

Hush is built around a single idea: plausible deniability. There is no contact list. There is no conversation list. There is no master unlock. Every code opens one space - either a private conversation with someone, or a place holding nothing but your own photos and videos. Enter a code that opens nothing, and nothing visible happens, because there is nothing visible to reveal.

WHY HUSH EXISTS

For confidential conversations with a lawyer, therapist, doctor, or helpline.
For anyone who shares a device with a partner, family member, or housemate.
For photos and videos that are nobody else's business, on a phone other people pick up.
For keeping one specific relationship private - without giving up your phone.

This is invisibility, not encryption. Hush does not promise that the strongest adversary in the world cannot read your data. It promises that a person holding your phone cannot tell who you talk to, or whether there is anything there at all.

INSIDE THE APP

- Per-contact 6-digit codes you choose yourself
- Private spaces: your own photos and videos, behind a 6-digit code of their own
- Add from your photo library, or capture straight into a space
- A keypad-first home screen, with no list of chats or spaces anywhere
- Aliases (custom names visible only after the code is entered)
- Message expiry: 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours
- Notification controls per contact: show the name, hide the name, or mute entirely
- Security alerts when someone tries a code that opens nothing
- Screen-capture protection, and everything closes the moment you switch apps
- Block, report, and per-contact controls
- A demo bot built in - open it any time with passcode 111111

NO RECOVERY, BY DESIGN

There is no "forgot passcode" option. Losing a contact's code means losing that conversation permanently. Losing a space's code means everything inside it is gone for good. This is intentional - it removes the social-engineering attack surface that recovery flows always create.

HUSH MESSENGER PLUS

Free covers the whole idea: hidden chats, and private spaces for your own photos and videos. Plus raises every limit - more spaces, far more items inside them, larger files, higher-volume image and video sharing, and the longer message expiry windows (24h, 48h). Either party in a chat being on Plus extends premium behavior to that conversation.

Version History New guidance helps you add your first photo to a Private Space, then shows you how to return through the keypad and find it again. This update also improves reliability when adding photos and videos to Private Spaces. 1.4.1 Sep 23 Voice, video, and more control in your private chats.

— Record and send voice messages, with waveform playback.
— Capture or choose short video messages, with private in-chat playback.
— Edit a sent text message for up to 15 minutes.
— Improved reliability when messages are pending or reconnecting. 1.4.0 Sep 15 Private spaces are here.

Your photos and videos can now live behind their own 6-digit code, opened from the same keypad you already use for chats. Pick a code, and that space opens only when you enter it. Enter anything else and nothing happens — exactly like a chat that isn't there.

— Add photos and videos from your library, or capture them straight into a space
— Open, view and play them full screen
— Remove an item, or a whole space, whenever you want
