Hushkeys app for iPhone and iPad

A new social media platform with a unique approach to privacy and fun. Create posts, conceal the best bits and reveal them only to those you choose to give a key to.

Show a little, share a lot.

Hushkeys gives you the power to intrigue your friends, be creative and playful. Be privately social by deciding who gets to reveal what YOU choose to share.

Create images, video and text posts, and then conceal – or “lock” – parts of those posts so that only the people you want to share them with can see the complete picture. By creating and attaching different keys to your posts, you decide who gets to see each and every thing you share. And to add an extra layer of fun, you can even add puzzles and location-based challenges for your friends to complete if they want to reveal your posts.

Why do we need a new social media platform? Facebook connects billions of people around the world, Instagram is a millennial’s go to tool for sharing the good things in life. Twitter is the modern newspaper and Snapchat is perfect for the those late night goofy selfies. But on all those platforms, either you share with someone specific or you share with the world.

The days of public versus private are gone: now you can be private in public. We think social media should be about more than just scrolling and swiping. We want to inspire you to see the everyday world in new, extraordinary ways, and to help you be truly creative about how you connect with the people around you.

The main areas of Hushkeys are:

My Feed

Here you can browse posts from all your friends, influencers and publishers you’ve chosen to follow. You’ll be able to reveal posts that have been locked with keys you already have, or request keys for content you’d like to reveal.

Discover

Discover trending content, new people to follow and keys you need to reveal to best on the platform.

Search

Search for your friends by name, keys or for content using keywords. By including the option to add hashtags to posts, we’ve made it easy for you to find and share the kind of content you’re interested in.

Private messaging

Send messages to your friends directly, either one-on-one or in groups.

Compose

Create your text, image and video posts and choose what and how you want to conceal elements of your content, with pixilation, pen or stickers. Decide who you want to see the post by selecting a key, or have fun creating a bespoke new key for a new social group or interest.

Profile

Manage your keys easily, view all your posts and track who is in your network.

We’re a brand new platform and we are continually improving Hushkeys, so we want to hear your views.

Hushkeys… show a little, share a lot...
