HookLock

HookLock helps short-form video creators write scripts that actually fit their platform — before they start filming. Stop guessing how long your script runs. HookLock breaks your total time into a Hook, Body, and CTA — so you know exactly how many words to write for each section, and whether your pacing matches your speaking speed. HOW IT WORKS Write or paste your script. HookLock counts your words, estimates your read time based on your WPM, and instantly shows you a live Hook / Body / CTA score card. Colour-coded feedback tells you whether each section is short, on target, or running over. PLATFORM PRESETS Every platform has a different ideal length. Switch between Reel 60s and YouTube Short (free) — or unlock all: • Reel 15s, 30s, 90s • LinkedIn Video (90s) • Podcast Clip (120s) • Custom duration for any format VOICE-ACCURATE TIMING The default 120 WPM works for most creators. Upgrade to set your own speaking speed (120–200 WPM) so the word count targets match your actual voice. WHO IT'S FOR • Instagram Reels creators who keep going over time • YouTube Shorts writers who need tighter hooks • LinkedIn video creators who want professional pacing • Podcasters cutting promos and clips • Anyone who's ever filmed a video and found out mid-edit that the script was too long FREE TIER Reel 60s and YouTube Short presets are completely free, forever.
