HookVault spots the videos that beat a channel's average, keeps every great hook in one swipe file, and rewrites any video into a thread, a LinkedIn post and a batch of titles.

Outlier finder · try it

Most videos do average numbers.
The ones that don't are the lesson.

On any YouTube channel, HookVault compares each video with the channel's median views and badges the breakouts. Drag the slider to see what it would flag on this sample channel.

How it works

From "why did that blow up?" to your own post in three steps

1

Spot it

Browse YouTube and X as usual. Outlier badges show which videos beat a channel's normal numbers by 3×, 5× or 10×.

2

Save it

One click stores the title, views, likes and link. Add tags and a note on why it worked, then search it all later.

Repurpose it

Hit Repurpose on a video. The transcript is pulled in for you, and the Studio writes each format in your tone and language.

Built for the way creators work

Small details that save you hours

Private by design

Your swipe file lives in your browser, not on our servers. There's no account to create and nothing to sync unless you export it yourself.

Bring any AI

Use your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, OpenRouter, Groq, or a local model through Ollama. A Pro plan with hosted AI, no key needed, is planned.

Tags, notes, search

Label saves with #hooks #thumbnail and jot down why each one worked.

Reads lakh and crore

View counts are understood in Indian formats too, so "1.2 lakh views" is compared correctly.

Your data, exportable

Download everything as CSV or JSON whenever you like, and import it on another computer.

Works where you already are

Buttons appear right on YouTube videos, Shorts, channel pages and X posts. Right-click saves any other page or selected text.

FAQ

Good questions

What exactly is an "outlier"?

A video with far more views than that channel normally gets. HookVault takes the median views of the videos on the page and badges anything at or above your threshold (3× by default). A 10× outlier on a small channel is often a better idea to study than an average video on a huge one.

Do I need an API key?

Only for AI repurposing. Saving and the outlier finder work without one. For the Studio you can paste an Anthropic or OpenAI-compatible key or point it at a local model. A hosted option with no key is planned for Pro.

Where is my library stored?

In your browser's local storage on your own computer. We never receive your saved items. Export to CSV or JSON to back them up or move them. See the privacy policy for the details.

Which sites does it work on?

YouTube (videos, Shorts and channel pages) and X have built-in buttons. Any other page can be saved from the toolbar popup or the right-click menu.

What if a video has no transcript?

The Studio opens anyway. Paste your script, notes or any text and repurpose that instead.

Is there a paid plan?

Not yet. Pro is planned, with unlimited saves and repurposes and hosted AI that needs no API key. Email us from the Pricing section if you'd like to hear when it launches. Your library is always yours to export.
