## What is Hush?

A bedside light that actually works.
Twelve warm colors, a flickering candle, a brightness you can trust not to wake the baby. No account, no ads, no tracking. Just open it and set it down.
Finally, an app that's just an app.

The moments this was built for:

• The 3 AM bathroom trip where a flashlight would jolt you awake.
• The nursery at 2 AM, one hand on the crib rail, the other on the phone.
• Reading in bed next to someone who's already asleep.
• The power outage where your phone becomes the only light in the house.
• The dinner where the overheads are too much and a candle would be right.
• The tent, the hotel, the unfamiliar bathroom, the hospital waiting room.
• Meditation, bedtime routines, a quiet end to a loud day.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Classic night light - twelve warm, sleep-safe colors tuned so they don't suppress melatonin. Amber, paper lantern, safelight red, dusk, ember, blush peach, rose, honey, moonlight ivory, fireside, terracotta, and sandstone.
• Candle mode - a flickering flame that actually looks like a flame, with a soft warm glow behind it. Tap to light. Tap to blow out. A tiny haptic thump when it catches.
• Brightness you can trust - swipe up or down anywhere on screen. Goes lower than the iOS brightness slider. Can hold a steady dim that the system normally fights you on.
• Fade to sleep - dims gently to near-off so you can fall asleep with it on and not wake up at full blast at 4 AM. Free at 15 minutes, Pro at 30, 45, or 60.
• Rear-LED flashlight - one tap when you need a real flashlight, one tap to put it away.
• Clean mode - one tap hides every control. Just the light. Nothing on screen to bump.
• Screen stays on - won't lock itself while it's your night light. Won't drain your battery, either: a dark warm color on OLED runs cooler than you'd think.

FREE & PRO

Free forever: night light with four warm colors, a 15-minute fade-to-sleep, and the flashlight. No ads, no account, no timer gotchas. Use it as long as you want.

Pro unlock - one payment, $3.99:
• Eight more colors (twelve in total)
• Candle mode
• Longer fade-to-sleep: 30, 45, or 60 minutes

No subscription. No recurring charge. No "premium" tier creeping up on you. Buy once, keep it.

PRIVACY, FOR REAL

• Works fully offline. Put your phone in airplane mode - the app won't notice.
• No account. No email. No sign-in. Ever.
• No analytics. No ad SDKs. No crash reporters with PII. Nothing phones home.
• No notifications permission requested. We don't want to bother you.
• The app reads and restores your screen brightness when it opens and closes. That's it.

Read the privacy page - it's one sentence.

MADE FOR

• Parents settling a baby without turning on the big light
• Insomniacs who need a warm anchor at 3 AM
• Bedside readers with a sleeping partner
• Anyone caught in a power outage
• Travelers in unfamiliar rooms
• Candle-lit dinners where you forgot the candles
• Campers who don't want a white headlamp
• People who miss having a lamp on their nightstand

NOT MADE FOR

• Sleep tracking (we don't watch you sleep)
• Meditation with guided voice (we're just the light)
• Reading text in direct sun (wrong tool)

ONE MORE THING

We built this because every night-light app we tried was either a flashlight with a color filter, a trojan horse for a $9.99/month subscription, or somehow wanted our email address. This one doesn't. Open it, set it down, get some sleep.
