Browse the web like it should be – free of nags to accept cookies or privacy invasive tracking. It's tiny, fast, free, open, secure and without any access to your data. “I’d recommend Hush to anyone who uses Safari” — John Gruber, Daring Fireball SECURE AND PRIVATE Hush doesn't have any third party dependencies, behavioral tracking nor crash reporting – no data is collected and nothing leaves your device. The blocking is done by Safari itself with instructions from Hush, so the app has no access to your browser habits nor does it want to. Don't take our word for it – we play with open cards and publish the source code for anyone to inspect. SIMPLE YET POWERFUL Using Hush is as easy as installing it and enabling it in Settings -> Apps -> Safari -> Extensions. No settings, no maintenance – just thousands of rules doing the hard work for you in the background. It works like magic – you will not notice Hush until you disable it. MODERN, TINY AND FAST The app is primarily a host of rules that integrates with Safari in a native lightweight way, making the blocking efficient, fast and easy on your disk space. FREE AND OPEN Hush is both free of charge and Open Source with a permissive MIT license. No in-app purchases, no nonsense. AVAILABLE ON ALL DEVICES Hush is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
