Meet Hush - a tiny, elegant sound studio for focus, relaxation, and sleep. No recurring subscription or in-app purchases. Tap Play for a great default mix, or open Studio to fine-tune every detail: beat rate, base tone, and the exact βcolorβ of noise from Brown to Violet. Headphones recommended for binaural beats. Why youβll like it β’ Press play, done. A balanced Focus/Unwind/Sleep preset starts instantly. β’ Smooth by design. Every change ramps inβno clicks, pops, or jumps. β’ Dial it in. Set beat rate (0.5β35 Hz), base tone, and tone/noise mix with fine control. β’ Headphone-smart. Detects headphones and offers a friendly mono preview when theyβre not. β’ Set and forget. 5/15/30-minute or β timers with a gentle fade-out at the end. β’ Comfort first. Optional safe-volume cap keeps listening easy on the ears. β’ Made to feel right. Big Play button, haptic detents at meaningful values, clear labels. β’ Always ready. Works offlineβno account, no sign-in, no distractions. Hush can play two things at once: 1. Binaural beat - two nearby tones (one per ear) that create a perceived beat at their difference. 2. Colored noise - white/pink/brown/blue/violet shaped to sound darker or brighter. Mix them to taste, save your vibe, and let the timer handle the rest. Notes β’ Binaural beats require stereo headphones to function as intended. β’ Hush is for relaxation and focus only. It is not a medical device and makes no health claims.
