/ What Hooked gives you
Four things your reel
needs. Before you edit.

You upload your best take. Hooked reads it, scores it, and gives you a brief. You take that brief into your editor and you stop guessing for the first time.

Cut list
Exact timestamps for every line that's repeated, off-topic, or bleeding your watch time.

Output 02
Scroll-stop score

B-roll shoot list

You get all of this before you open your editing tool.
So when you edit, you're executing — not experimenting.

FAQ

Questions you're
probably thinking.

Freelancers, indie hackers, solopreneurs, and anyone trying to build a personal brand through short-form video — but stuck at 200 views no matter how hard they try. If you make talking-head reels to get clients, users, or followers and the algorithm keeps ignoring you, this is for you. Not for influencers. Not for agencies. For the people building it alone.

You upload one raw video — your best take, the one you'd normally send to editing. Hooked reads the transcript, scores the retention line by line, flags what to cut, gives you a scroll-stop score, suggests 3 text hook overlays you can add in your editor, and tells you which B-roll to shoot. All before you edit a single frame.

No. It doesn't touch your video. It doesn't connect to CapCut, Premiere, or anything else. It gives you a clear brief — cut this, keep that, add this hook overlay — and you execute it in whatever editor you already use. Think of it as your strategist, not your editor.

Those tools listen for silence and filler words. Hooked reads what you're actually saying and scores it for retention and hook potential. It tells you if your opening line will make someone scroll past in 0.3 seconds — and gives you a better one pulled from your own content. It's not an editing tool. It's what happens before editing.

Still refining and improving the suggestions. The waitlist gets first access — no public launch before that. You'll get one email when it's ready.

Yes. Everyone on the waitlist gets early access at no cost. Pricing comes later, once real people tell us what they actually need.

Still getting 200 views after putting in the work?

That's what this fixes.

No spam. One email when it launches.
