Hush Sessions privacy policy

Last updated November 10, 2026

What the app does with sound

Hush Sessions records the microphone, and on a Mac the Mac's own audio when you switch on "Both sides", only while the Record button is on. Speech is turned into text by Apple's on-device speech models, and the notes and the progress note are written by Apple's on-device language model or by rules in the app. None of it leaves your device. The app never uses Apple's Private Cloud Compute or any other server.

Audio is not kept after it has been transcribed unless you turn on "Keep the audio file" in Settings.

What is stored, and where

On a Mac, each session is saved as plain files in the app's own folder, or in a folder that you choose. The app does not offer iCloud folders. On iPhone and iPad, sessions stay on the device, in the app's own folder, which the Files app does not show, and there is no iCloud setting. Delete a session from the app. When you copy or export a session, the client's code goes on top and names are replaced with [name]; where that copy goes afterwards is up to you.

Permissions the app asks for

• Microphone and Speech Recognition: to transcribe what is said, on the device.
• Screen Recording (Mac only): only if you switch on "Both sides", so the app can hear what the Mac plays on a call. No picture of your screen is taken or used.
• Calendar and Reminders: only when you ask, to answer questions about your schedule and to add the reminders you ask for. They are read on the device.
• Touch ID or Face ID: for the lock, which is on from the first launch unless you turn it off.

What is collected

Nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking. The App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected. Nobody, including the developer, can see or hear your sessions.

Not a records system, and not clinical advice

Hush Sessions is a tool for writing notes. It does not assess risk, diagnose or give medical advice, and it makes no claim of compliance with HIPAA or any other rule. Because nothing leaves your device, no vendor holds your clients' information; you remain responsible for how your practice keeps, secures, shares and disposes of clinical records, and for getting consent to record.
