  description

  Ever shared a screenshot and a second later realized you just leaked a client's email, your bank balance, or a half-finished design board? 
  
  Hush is the fix. 
  Click the icon, hover the exact element you want, and Hush isolates it pixel-perfect. 
  
  No more dragging crop boxes, no more cleaning up screenshots in Preview, no more throwing the whole thing away and starting over. 
  
  It works on tables, tweets, dashboards, sidebars, code blocks, anything the page renders.
  
  Once an element is selected, you own it. 
  Blur the sensitive bits. 
  Black them out completely. 
  Recolor text and backgrounds to match your brand or post. 
  Tweak until it reads exactly the way you want, then export in one click. 
  PNG for fast, universal sharing. 
  True-vector SVG with real text and shapes that pastes straight into Figma so you or your designer can keep editing. 
  
  Made a mistake? Cmd+Z undoes the last change, and Reset All Styles puts the element back exactly the way the site shipped it.
  
  And because nobody wants another extension quietly watching them browse, Hush is built on Manifest V3 with activeTab only. 
  
  No persistent host permissions. 
  No background script chewing memory while you scroll. 
  The code wakes up the millisecond you click the icon and goes back to sleep the moment you're done. 
  
  Zero tracking. Zero bloat. Just a clean, surgical tool you can trust on your most sensitive tabs.

  Hush is a redaction and annotation 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 paste. Export as a sharp PNG or as a true-vector SVG that opens cleanly in Figma.
  
  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. 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
  Hide an element entirely. Blur it (0–40 px slider). Pixelate it (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. One-click clear button on each slider.
  
  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. 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 ([email protected], 4242 4242 4242 4242, +1-555-0100). The screenshot stays readable and demo-ready, but completely safe to share.
  
  INDUSTRY PRESETS
  Payments demo · Healthcare-safe · GDPR demo · Auth & secrets. One click flips the right pattern boxes for your vertical. Stop manually toggling checkboxes every screenshot.
  
  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.
  
  FLOATING LAUNCHER
  A small movable pill at the bottom-right of every page. Click to start, drag to reposition, position remembers itself. No more hunting for the toolbar icon.
  
  KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
  H hide · S solid · B blur · P pixelate · R reset · C copy · Cmd+Z undo (any operation) · Tab walk to parent · Esc cancel · Shift+click add to selection · Delete remove annotation.
  
  RIGHT-CLICK MENU
  "Redact this with Hush" on every element on every page. Skip the toolbar.
  
  UNIFIED UNDO
  Cmd+Z reverses any operation in order — style change, smart redact, replace, annotation drop, drag, resize, crop, template apply. One stack. No mode switches.
  
  PAGES STAY INERT
  While the panel is open, clicks on links and buttons on the underlying page do nothing — no accidental navigation, no form submits, no input focus stealing your keyboard.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  WHO IT'S FOR
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  — Support agents capturing tickets without leaking customer details
  — Sales and CS demoing dashboards with real-looking but fake data
  — Designers grabbing UI for bug reports and Figma references
  — Product managers writing internal updates with screenshots
  — Developers redacting console output, API keys, and dotfiles before pasting in chat
  — Founders and marketers tweeting metrics without showing the actual number
  — Anyone who has ever pulled a screenshot back from Slack going "wait, no"
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  HOW IT WORKS
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Hush installs a small floating launcher at the bottom-right of every page. Click it to bring up the toolbar. Pick an element. Apply one of the redaction styles, run Smart Redact, drop annotations, then Copy or Download.
  
  The whole thing runs inside your browser. There is no Hush server. The only network call the extension can make is when you click the brand badge to open fourline.ai in a new tab.
  
  Permissions explained:
  
  activeTab + scripting — lets Hush read and modify the page you are actually working on, and inject the rendering library when you click Export. Activated only when you click the icon, the launcher, the right-click menu, or open the panel.
  
  downloads — saves the PNG / SVG files you export to your local Downloads folder.
  
  storage — remembers your launcher position, last-used redaction style per site, and saved templates. Stored locally in your browser, never transmitted.
  
  contextMenus — adds the "Redact this with Hush" right-click entry on web pages.
  
  Content script on all sites — required so the floating launcher and shortcut handlers can appear wherever you want to redact. Hush does not log, transmit, or analyse anything from those sites.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  WHAT'S DIFFERENT
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Other screenshot tools see pixels. Hush sees the DOM. That changes what's possible:
  
  1. Click the email, not a rectangle. Element-aware selection means the redaction snaps perfectly to the thing you actually want to hide — no fiddling with marquee handles to crop around dynamic content.
  
  2. Smart Redact catches what you'd miss. A regex sweep across the selected subtree blacks out every email, phone, card, and key in one click. The kind of thing you only notice after you've already shared the screenshot.
  
  3. Editable vector exports. Most tools give you a flat PNG. Hush also gives you a true-vector SVG with separate rect / text / image layers — drag into Figma and keep editing.
  
  4. Replace, don't just hide. Smart Replace swaps real customer data for realistic-looking placeholders so the screenshot stays beautiful for marketing while being completely safe.
  
  5. Local-first. No account, no subscription tier, no telemetry. The extension runs entirely offline; the only outbound traffic is when you click the brand badge.
  
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  PRIVACY
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  
  Hush does not collect, transmit, store, or sell any user data. Everything happens locally in your browser. The extension does not communicate with any Hush server (there is no Hush server) and ships with zero analytics or telemetry. Your screenshots, redactions, and saved templates live only on your device — Hush has no way to see them.

  description

  Hush is the ultimate privacy and styling toolkit for your browser. Whether you are a designer capturing UI inspiration, a developer sharing a debug snippet, or a professional needing to quickly redact sensitive data before sharing a screenshot, Hush gives you pixel-perfect control over any element on any webpage.
  
  Just click the Hush icon in your toolbar, hover over the exact element you want to capture, and Hush isolates it instantly.
  
  
  Core Features:
  Pinpoint Selection: Automatically detects and isolates DOM elements (tables, posts, images, entire sidebars) so you don't have to manually drag a perfect crop box.
  
  Instant Redaction: Quickly hide, blur, or completely blackout sensitive information (like emails, account balances, or personal names) before you share.
  
  Live Styling: Change text colors, background colors, and border radii on the fly to create the perfect aesthetic for your presentation or tweet.
  
  Infinite Undo: Made a mistake? Press Cmd+Z to undo your last style change, or simply hit Reset All Styles to instantly restore the element to its original state.
  
  High-Res Export: One-click export instantly compiles your newly styled element into a crisp, high-resolution PNG—bypassing messy full-page screenshots.
  
  
  Privacy First — Zero Bloatware:
  Unlike other extensions that constantly monitor your browsing in the background, Hush is built strictly on modern Manifest V3 protocols and utilizes an elite activeTab sandbox. It requires zero persistent host permissions. The code only wakes up and injects into your page the exact millisecond you click the icon, guaranteeing 100% browsing privacy and a 0MB passive memory footprint.
