Your voice.
Your device.
Your text.
Talk instead of type — anywhere on your Mac. Your words turn into text the moment you speak, in 25 languages, and drop straight into whatever you're working on. Nothing you say ever leaves your computer.
Everything you need to talk, not type.
From a quick note to a whole meeting — speak naturally and let your Mac do the typing. No learning curve, no setup.
Instant dictation
Press one key, speak, and your words appear as text in seconds — just as accurate as the big cloud services, without sending anything anywhere.
Works in every app
Your text lands right where your cursor is — in email, Word, Slack, anywhere. No copy-paste, no switching windows. Just speak and it appears.
Learns your words
Teach Hush the names, terms, and jargon you use every day so it spells them right every time.
Saved & searchable
Everything you dictate is kept on your Mac so you can find, reuse, or tidy up anything you said earlier.
Always ready
Hush sits quietly in your menu bar from the moment your Mac starts — there when you need it, invisible when you don't.
Instant summaries
Turn a long recording or meeting into a tidy summary with the key points and to-dos pulled out for you — right on your Mac.
Three seconds from voice to text.
No setup. No sign-up. No waiting. Just speak.
Press one key
Tap Fn (or any shortcut you like) from whatever app you're in. Hush starts listening straight away.
Speak naturally
Talk at your normal pace. Your Mac turns your voice into text as you go — no internet required.
Text appears
Your words drop right where your cursor is, ready to go. Want it tidied up or rephrased? One tap does that too.
Speak rough.
Get polished.
Say it however it comes out — Hush turns your rambling into clean, finished text. One shortcut opens a Spotlight-style picker right where your cursor is: fix the grammar, write a proper email, pull out the to-dos, translate it, or hand a polished prompt straight to ChatGPT or Claude.

What you say stays
on your Mac. Full stop.
Most dictation apps send your voice off to a company's servers to be turned into text. Hush never does. Everything happens right on your own Mac — so your words simply never leave your hands. There's nothing to upload, nothing to leak, and no one else in the loop.
Safe for confidential work
Doctors, lawyers, therapists and anyone handling private information can dictate freely. Nothing is uploaded, so there's nothing to expose.
No compliance headaches
Because your data never touches an outside server, there are no data-sharing agreements to chase and no third parties to vet or trust.
No audio tracking
No accounts, no analytics, no cloud transcription. Your voice stays on your Mac — the website and checkout only process what is needed to deliver your license.

Frequently asked.
Nowhere but your own Mac. Hush turns your voice into text right on your computer, so what you say is never uploaded, never stored on someone else's server, and never seen by anyone else. Most other dictation apps send your audio off to the cloud to be processed — Hush simply doesn't.
Yes — that's exactly who it's built for. Because nothing you dictate ever leaves your Mac, there's no third party handling your data, nothing to upload, and nothing to leak. For people in healthcare, law, finance and similar fields, that means no data-sharing agreements to chase and far fewer compliance worries. (We're describing how the app works, not giving legal advice — always check your own rules.)
No. Once Hush is installed it works completely offline — on a plane, in a secure office, anywhere. You can turn off Wi-Fi entirely and dictation, summaries, and read-aloud all still work.
You get a free 30-day trial with every feature unlocked — no account and no card needed. After that, a one-time payment keeps it yours — currently €14.99 launch price (regular price €24.99); there's no subscription.
No. There's no sign-up, no login, and no profile. Download the app and start talking. The only time you enter an email is at checkout, so we can send you your license key.
Hush runs on Apple Silicon Macs (the M1 chip and newer) with macOS 26 (Tahoe) or later. If you bought your Mac in the last few years, you're almost certainly covered.
Hush understands 25 languages out of the box. There's nothing to set up or switch — just speak, and it keeps up.
Once you give Hush permission during the quick first-run setup, your dictated text appears right where your cursor is — in your email, a document, a chat, anywhere. No copying and pasting.
Yes. Record a meeting or call and Hush writes up a clean transcript, automatically telling the speakers apart so you can see who said what. You can put real names to each person afterwards, and even drop in a recording you already have.
Yes. The text-to-speech runs entirely on your Mac as well. Pick a voice, set the speed, listen in the app, or save it as an audio file — all without anything going online.
Your license key never expires — you can keep using the version of Hush you purchased for as long as it runs on your Mac. Updates, new features, and compatibility with future macOS versions are provided on a best-effort basis while the project is actively maintained. There is no guarantee of perpetual updates or support.
