Free companion app

ZHiCK Hub

One app to install, update and license every ZHiCK plugin. Built so that owning a tool and using it are the same step.

Download for Windows

0.5.1 · 2.0 MB · 16 August 2026

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. Free, and you do not need an account to install it.

Install

Choose a tool and click install. The hub puts the bundle where Nuke looks for it, so nothing has to be copied into Program Files by hand.

Update

New builds appear in the hub as they are published. It updates your plugins — and itself — without another trip to this page.

Activate

Paste a licence key to unlock a tool, or start a trial where one is offered. After that the plugin checks the licence offline, with no connection to anything.

/ Getting started
  1. 01

    Run the installer

    It takes a few seconds and asks nothing of you.

  2. 02

    Open the hub

    Every ZHiCK tool is listed, with what you already have installed marked.

  3. 03

    Install and activate

    The licence link in your receipt opens the hub with your key already filled in.

Windows will warn you the first time

The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”. Choose More info, then Run anyway. If you would rather confirm the file before running it, the SHA-256 below matches the bytes this page serves.

Verify this download+

The published SHA-256 for version 0.5.1. The download URL is pinned to that version, so this hash and the file you receive can never drift apart.

What's new in 0.5.1+

Host chips read properly: the Standalone chip carries a real mark instead of two letters, the chips line up across a row of cards, and the detail page drops the Tested in label that read like version metadata.

System requirements+

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. The plugins the hub installs are OFX and run in Nuke and other 64-bit OFX hosts; After Effects has no OFX support.
