Hooky

Talk to the camera. Hooky does the cutting. Hooky turns a raw talking-to-camera take into a tight, captioned clip. It removes the long pauses, the "um"s and "uh"s, and the sentences you said twice, then burns captions into the video. You don't have to touch a timeline. In our demo, a 45-second raw take became a 17-second edit. Your result depends on how much you pause and repeat. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a video from your library (up to 10 minutes). 2. Hooky cuts silences, filler sounds like "um" and "uh", and retakes. It starts working while the video is still uploading. 3. Pick a caption style, add a title if you want, and save the video. CAPTIONS AND TITLE Captions are part of the video, so they show up wherever you post it. Styles include Bold Pop and Karaoke. Add a title and choose its size and position. YOUR LIBRARY Finished edits open instantly and stay on your phone. Close the app while Hooky works; you'll get a notification when your edit is ready. FREE PREVIEW Preview the first 15 seconds of up to 3 edits for free. Saving the full video needs Hooky Pro. No sign-up needed. HOOKY PRO 1080p export with no watermark. Weekly includes 30 edit-minutes a week; Monthly and Yearly include 120 edit-minutes a month. Auto-renewing plans: - Yearly: $69.99 per year, starts with a 3-day free trial for eligible new subscribers - Monthly: $14.99 per month - Weekly: $5.99 per week Prices are in US dollars and may differ by country; the price in your currency is shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends.
