Our verdict on Hush

Hush is a macOS desktop application for cleaning recorded speech with machine learning. It is aimed at creators working with podcasts, voiceovers, audiobooks, and other spoken-word recordings who want local processing on a Mac. The app targets common recording problems, including background noise, room reflections, reverb, and transient sounds such as chirps, barks, and horns.

Pricing is straightforward: Hush is distributed as a paid one-time purchase, with one listed plan named Hush. The US Mac App Store listing shows a price of 89.99, and the product includes a 21-day unrestricted trial. There is no permanent free plan. The paid application includes the macOS software, machine-learning noise reduction, room-reflection and reverb reduction, individual-file processing, and batch processing. Apple Silicon Macs can use Neural Engine acceleration, while Intel Macs are also supported.

The strongest fit is for Mac users who want a focused local workflow rather than a broader platform ecosystem. Hush can process one audio file at a time or handle batches, which suits repeated cleanup of spoken-word recordings. Its scope is narrower for teams or creators working outside macOS, and it is not positioned as a general media-processing tool because its input type is audio. Choose Hush for local Mac-based speech cleanup and transient removal; choose another product if cross-platform access or broader input coverage is essential.
