Hush is a lightweight desktop player built around YouTube Live Lo-Fi channels. It opens directly into a focused player, ships with a curated Hush channel list, and lets you add active or scheduled YouTube Live streams to your own channel groups.
Hush grew out of the online music live-radio module in XiaDown. If you need a video download tool with online music support, XiaDown includes YouTube Lo-Fi stations and YouTube Music, plus material downloads, transcoding, and local library management for thousands of online video sites.
- Three player shapes: mini player, audio mode, and video mode for different desktop spaces and listening habits.
- Built-in and custom channels: start from the recommended Hush catalog, refresh the list, or add your favorite active and scheduled YouTube Live channels with custom titles and groups.
- Minimal, flexible appearance: a clean interface with light, dark, and system modes, multiple theme packs, custom accent colors, font options, proxy settings, and tray or menu bar behavior.
