Recommended install
Use the Windows installer. It places Hush in Program Files, creates the Start Menu shortcut, and keeps auto-updates working cleanly.
Install Hush without the zip headache.
The normal download is now a Windows installer. If you need the old folder-based version, the portable package is still available here.
Recommended
Windows installer
Best for daily use, shortcuts, Program Files installs, and future auto-updates.
Portable package
Use the portable zip only if Windows blocks installers, you are testing a build, or you want to run Hush from a folder without installing.
Subscription check
Open Hush, paste the license key from your email, and Hush verifies the subscription online before unlocking the app.
Portable fallback
Need the zip version?
Download the portable package, extract it, then run Hush\\publish-single\\Hush.exe. This is mainly for troubleshooting or manual installs.
