About Hush
Hush is a redaction, annotation, and screen-recording tool that lives in your browser. Pick any element on any page — a tweet, a card, an invoice row, a dashboard widget — and hide the sensitive bits before you screenshot, share, or record. Export as a sharp PNG or as a true-vector SVG that opens cleanly in Figma. And when a still image isn't enough, record the screen and edit the video — with every redaction tool still live while the recorder runs.
Built for people who screenshot for a living and have leaked something at least once — support agents masking customer data in tickets, sales reps redacting CRMs for demo decks, designers capturing UI for bug reports, founders blurring revenue lines on a tweet. Anyone who has ever almost shipped a screenshot with the wrong email visible.

WHAT YOU GET
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ELEMENT-AWARE SELECTION
Hover any DOM element — Hush highlights its exact bounds. Click to lock it in (or ⌘/Ctrl+Click any time). Press Tab to walk up to the parent. Works on tables, posts, sidebars, modals, anything the page renders. No more dragging a perfect crop box around content that keeps moving.
FOUR REDACTION STYLES — PLUS RESTYLE
Hide an element entirely. Blur it (0–40 px slider). Pixelate it (0–30 px, the kind that reads as "censored on purpose"). Or Solid Redact — paint over with the element's text color so it looks like a real black bar. Sliders have one-click clear buttons. And when you want to change a element instead of hiding it, restyle it: custom text color and background color.
WORD-LEVEL REDACTION
Don't need the whole element gone? Enter Word mode and Hush wraps every word inside the selection. Drag to select a phrase or click individual words, then apply redact, blur, pixelate, erase, style, or swap-in-a-sample — from a floating mini-toolbar that follows your selection. Perfect for leaving a sentence readable while killing the one number in it.
SMART REDACT
One button that scans the selected area for emails, phone numbers, credit cards (Luhn-validated), SSNs, IBANs, IP addresses, JWTs, API keys, and tokenised URLs — and black-bars each match individually. Knows how to reach into <input> and <textarea> values and placeholders, and even into PCI-compliant payment iframes (Stripe, Polar, Paddle, Braintree, and friends). Catches things you would miss visually. All inside the browser, no data sent anywhere.
SMART REPLACE
Same engine, different action: swap real values with realistic samples (john.doe@example.com, 4242 4242 4242 4242, +1-555-0100). The screenshot stays readable and demo-ready, but completely safe to share.
INDUSTRY PRESETS + CUSTOM PATTERN PACKS
Payments demo · Healthcare-safe · GDPR demo · Auth & secrets. One click flips the right pattern boxes for your vertical. Got your own vertical? Export the active pattern library as JSON, edit it, and import it back.
MULTI-SELECT WITH SHIFT
Hold Shift and click multiple elements to apply the same redaction to all of them at once. Or paste a CSS selector (.email, data-balance) into the Match input and Hush adds every match to your selection.
STICKY ANNOTATION TOOLS
Arrows, numbered markers (1, 2, 3…), highlight boxes, text labels. Pick a tool once, drop as many as you need. After creation, drag any annotation to move it. Drag corner handles to resize. Press Delete to remove. Style each one with custom stroke colour, fill, width, corner radius, font, and size.
CROP BOUNDS
Eight drag handles around your primary selection let you extend the export region beyond the element's natural bounds — perfect when you want a few pixels of breathing room.
WATERMARKS — TEXT AND IMAGE
Stamp every export with custom text ("Internal Only", "Confidential"), an uploaded image or SVG (your company logo), or both. Five corner positions.
TEMPLATES PER SITE
Save your redaction setup as a named template per origin. Reload the page, click Apply — every selector reapplies with the same redaction style. Built for repeat dashboard demos and recurring support flows.
EXPORT IN PNG, SVG, OR SVG·DOM
PNG for raster (Slack, Linear, Notion, email — anywhere). True-vector SVG with editable text, shapes, and image fills (drag the file into Figma and it opens as real layers). SVG·DOM for pixel-faithful browser-only output. All three are also one-click Copy to clipboard.
REPLAY-PROOF EXPORT
An optional export mode that strips the original (masked) text, data-attributes, scripts, and inline handlers from SVG·DOM output before it leaves the browser — so even someone who inspects the file can't recover what you hid.
LIVE DEMO MODE
Presenting the page instead of shipping the image? Flip hover-to-reveal and redacted regions lift while your cursor is over them, then snap back when you move on.
FULL-PAGE CAPTURE
One click scrolls and stitches the entire page into a single PNG — not just the viewport.
SCREEN RECORDING, RELOAD-PROOF
Record this Tab, an app Window, or the whole Screen — with tab/system audio and your microphone. Tab mode runs the recorder in an offscreen document, so reloading or navigating the page you're recording can't kill it. Draw a region and only that box gets recorded (the crop follows the box, even while it moves). Zoom-in-on-clicks punches the footage 1.3× toward every click for 2 seconds — your view is untouched. A Loom-style camera bubble rides along; drag it, double-click to resize it. A countdown gets you ready, a floating pill gives you timer, pause, and stop, and Hush's own chrome fades out of the footage. Every redaction and annotation tool keeps working while you record.
HUSH STUDIO
Stop a recording and the clip opens in Studio automatically: trim and split on a timeline, add zoom keyframes (level, timing, and aim — drag the video to point the zoom), drop in a background (presets, solid colour, or your own image) with padding, corner radius, and shadow. Export as MP4 (H.264) with automatic WebM fallback, or download the untouched original. Full undo/redo. Recordings live in local s…
