Less clutter. More of the page you came to read. Block intrusive ads, reduce pop-ups and unwanted redirects, and bring the article back into focus in Safari. Spend less time closing distractions and more time reading the content that matters to you. BLOCK ADS AND OVERLAYS Reduce banners, pop-up windows and floating layers that cover the page. Give the content more room, with fewer interruptions competing for your attention. REDUCE UNWANTED REDIRECTS Help prevent supported websites from pulling you away from the current page or trying to open another app. Stay with what you were reading. CLEAN UP THE ARTICLE Reduce visual clutter on supported pages so the article is easier to focus on. Keep the main content at the heart of your reading experience. CHOOSE YOUR READING STYLE Switch between Dark and Warm Paper reading modes to suit your surroundings and personal preference. CHECK SUPPORTED SITES View supported sites and their available rules in the app, and adjust the browsing experience where supported. Features and results can vary from one website to another. GET STARTED IN SAFARI Follow the in-app instructions to enable the extension in Safari settings and allow the required website access. Features work on supported web pages in Safari. Website changes, rules and permissions can affect the results; blocking every ad is not guaranteed. PURCHASES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS Paid features require an in-app purchase. There is no free trial. Available plans, billing periods, prices and offer eligibility are shown before you buy. A paid introductory offer is not a free trial. If you choose an auto-renewable subscription with an offer, it renews at the regular price and billing period shown at purchase once the offer ends. Payment is handled through your Apple Account. Auto-renewable subscriptions renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account subscription settings. Available purchases and local-currency prices depend on your App Store storefront.

About

Hush

Features
Read full description

Hush is a browser that blocks ads and trackers before a page can load them — no account, no data collected, nothing to configure. Open a page and it is just the page. No banners, no video ads, no pop-ups, no scripts watching where you go. The blocking runs on your iPhone using the same public filter lists trusted by millions, updated in the background so you never have to think about them. WHAT YOU GET • Ad and tracker blocking on every site, every tab • The right filter list for each language you read — 17 languages built in • Works in Safari too: switch on the Hush content blocker and Safari gets the same protection • Private tabs that keep no history and no cookies • HTTPS first: Hush asks before opening a page that has no secure version • Extra protection lists for malicious sites, phishing sites and ad servers — one switch each READ, DON'T FIGHT THE PAGE • Reader view strips a page down to the text • Read aloud reads any article to you, at the speed you choose, even with the screen off • Dark theme for the browser and for sites that offer a dark version • One text size for every page you open ASK THE PAGE Hush has a reading assistant. Open it on any article and it summarises what you are looking at, answers your questions about it, and can give you the page in your language. It sends the text of the page you are on and nothing else — no history, no identity. Three free requests a day. PRIVACY, PLAINLY • No account, ever • No analytics, no advertising identifiers, no tracking of your browsing • Filter lists are fetched from their public sources and compiled on your phone • Private tabs leave nothing behind • Cookies and site data can be cleared in one tap EVERYTHING ELSE A BROWSER SHOULD DO • Tabs with a switcher you can actually read • Bookmarks, history and downloads • Find on page, request desktop site, share • Choose the app's language inside the app Hush is made by a small team that believes the web is better without the surveillance. If something on a page does not block the way you expect, tell us — the lists get better every week. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
