Here’s some information to get you started.

To download Hush for Chrome, go to the Hush Chrome Webstore page and click Install.

Enable the extension in incognito mode (REQUIRED)

For your security, Hush only runs in incognito mode. You need to allow Hush to do so first!

  1. Open your Chrome Extensions page.

  2. For the Hush extension, click the “Allow in incognito” checkbox.

  3. That's it! You're ready to use Hush!

Passwords

Each set of bookmarks in Hush is secured by a password of your choosing. We like to group our bookmarks in several sets, each with their own password.

Ensure that your password isn’t easily guessable, but also make sure you remember it — if you forget your password, the set of bookmarks corresponding to it can never be recovered!


Saving bookmarks

While you’re on the page you want to bookmark, click the Hush icon in the top right of the address bar.

This will display the Hush popup, which will prompt you for your password. Enter a password you want to use to protect this set of bookmarks, then click the Bookmark button.

Congratulations! You’ve saved a bookmark.

Accessing bookmarks

Method 1: via popup

Click the Hush icon in the top right of the nav bar. Once you’ve entered the password associated with the set of bookmarks you want to access, click the View All button.

Viewing/editing bookmarks

From your bookmarks page, you can access all of your saved links easily.

Clicking the Edit button to the right of a bookmark allows you to edit the URL or description for a bookmark.

Clicking the Delete button to the right of a bookmark removes it altogether.

Dragging the Sort button to the right of a bookmark lets you move them up and down.

You can add bookmarks from this panel by clicking the Add bookmark button, then filling in the appropriate spaces. Once you’re done, don’t forget to save your changes!

Importing/exporting bookmarks

If you’re a Hush Pro user, you can import bookmarks from Chrome by clicking the Import browser bookmarks link on the top of the page.

Open the special menu by clicking on the menu  on the top right of the page.

You can export an encrypted version of your bookmarks simply by copy-pasting the text in the Export dropdown. Don’t forget the password you used to save them, or else you won’t be able to decrypt them!

You can import encrypted bookmarks by entering their password and text in the Import dropdown.
