Hookz

Description

Turn Your Hooks Into Ready Videos

Hookz is a macOS desktop app that burns styled text overlays onto hook videos and concatenates each one with your main video — producing ready-to-publish .mp4 files.

How it works

1. Select your Main Video (evergreen content, product demo, etc.)
2. Add one or more Hook Videos — each with custom text overlay
3. Style your text: font, size, color, position, shadow, background box
4. Live preview before rendering
5. Click Generate — get one .mp4 per hook, ready to post

Features

• Batch processing — render multiple hooks at once
• Live preview — see exactly how your text will look
• Style presets — save and reuse your favorite styles
• ProRes intermediate — no quality loss between passes
• Hardware encoding — Apple Silicon accelerated (h264_videotoolbox)
• Auto-letterboxing — handles different video resolutions
• No FFmpeg install needed — everything bundled

Requirements

• macOS 12+ (Monterey or later)
• Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)

Built with Electron, React, and FFmpeg. Saves ~30% editing time for content creators who batch-produce hook videos.
