Information the app processes

Hush Lens is provided by Fortyone Agency LLC. It reads only the files you choose to open, by dropping them on its window, opening them from the app, or sending them from Finder, Shortcuts, or Spotlight. It extracts their text, tables, and metadata, and analyzes them with the on-device Apple Intelligence model and other macOS frameworks. File contents, questions, answers, and file locations are not sent to Fortyone Agency LLC or to any server. Hush Lens has no account, analytics, or advertising.

On your Mac

Hush Lens has no account, no server, no analytics, and no network access. It reads your files on your Mac and never changes them. Once Apple Intelligence and any translation languages are downloaded, every feature works offline. When you share a result, you choose the app, and that app may sync it with its own account.

Data stored on your Mac

When History is on, Hush Lens saves each result with the file's name and type, the action, the date, and the passages the result cites. It never saves the file itself or its location. History is kept in the app's container on your Mac, excluded from backups, and never synced. Your language choice and the status of your trial or purchase are also stored locally. Source files are opened read-only and are never changed.

History keeps results on this Mac, so they reopen without running again. It stores the result and the passages it cites, never the file itself. You can turn History off or clear it at any time. Copy a result, save it as Markdown, or share it to Notes.

Apple Intelligence and translation

Hush Lens uses only the on-device Apple Intelligence model. It never uses Private Cloud Compute or any other cloud or third-party model. Apple Intelligence and on-device translation are provided by macOS; downloading their models and languages is managed by macOS with your permission, under Apple's terms.

Translate PDFs, text read from images, text files, and finished summaries with Apple's on-device translation. Each translated passage appears beside the original and keeps its page or line reference.

Hush Lens requires macOS 26 or later and a Mac that supports Apple Intelligence, with Apple Intelligence turned on and its model downloaded.

Sharing and exporting

Hush Lens shares only when you ask it to. Copy places a result on your clipboard, saving as Markdown writes a file where you choose, and Share hands a plain-text copy to the app you pick after showing you a preview. Shared results include their source references, but not the original file or its full path. The app you share to, such as Notes, may sync the result with iCloud or another account under its own settings.

Permissions and your choices

You choose which files to open. You can turn History off, delete a single result, or clear all of History in Settings or the History window. Hush Lens has no network access, so it works offline once Apple Intelligence and any translation languages are downloaded. Removing the app may not remove its container on your Mac; clear History first if you want saved results deleted.

Apple and purchases

Downloading Hush Lens, starting its free trial, and buying it are handled by the Mac App Store and subject to Apple's terms and privacy policy. Hush Lens uses StoreKit only to check whether your trial or purchase is active; nothing about your files or results is sent. Apple handles the payment and its own network traffic.
