Features
Everything you need to write the first 3 seconds
Three steps, and the first two happen before you wake up.
We pull out the hook
The opening line, a short transcript excerpt, tags, the numbers as we captured them, and a 2–4 sentence AI note on why it worked.
You make it yours
Borrow the pattern, not the video. Rework the structure for your own topic, in your own words, and film it.
Today’s drop
Today’s fresh hooks
What landed in the library today. Members see all of it.
Benefits
Less scrolling, better openers
Everything in the library is built around one job: helping you write a stronger first three seconds.
A fresh drop, every day
Members get 10 new hooks every day, pulled from English-language videos that had passed 1M views when we found them.
Why it works, in plain words
Every hook comes with a short AI note on why it landed: the pattern, the tension, the promise. A starting point, not a guarantee.
Search by niche and hook style
Filter by the niche closest to yours, then by the kind of hook you want to try.
Skip the endless scroll
No more hours of scrolling for a handful of good openers, or saved posts piling up in collections you never reopen.
Open the original
Every card links to the public video it came from, so you can watch the delivery. We never re-host anything.
Sounds like you, not a template
You get patterns from real videos, not finished scripts. Put the structure in your own words about your own topic and it sounds like you.

Viralhooks vs others
Some (painful) alternatives
What most of us do instead, and where it falls short.
- Ask ChatGPT for hooksIt can’t tell you what actually went viral this week, and everyone asking the same prompt gets the same hooks.
- Copy a generic Notion templateMost lines come with no stats at all, and the list never changes after you download it.
- Scroll TikTok for hoursHours of scrolling for a handful of good openers, with no note on why any of it worked.

FAQ
Have questions?
Why is Viralhooks different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can write a hook, but it can’t tell you which hooks actually went viral this week, and it can’t show you the numbers. Every hook here comes from a real public video, with the views we captured and a link to the original. We only use AI for the short “why it works” note.
Can Viralhooks help me make authentic, non-robotic content?
That’s the idea. You get patterns from real videos, not finished scripts. Take the structure, put it in your own words about your own topic, and it sounds like you, not like a template.
Who is Viralhooks for?
English-speaking creators, coaches and small businesses who make short-form video for Instagram Reels or TikTok and want a stronger first three seconds.
What is Viralhooks?
A searchable library of hooks (the opening lines) from short-form videos. Each one has niche and style tags, the view, like and comment counts we captured, a short transcript excerpt, a link to the original and an AI note on why it worked. Members also get a daily drop of 10 new hooks from videos with 1M+ views when we found them. Older archive hooks have a range of view counts, and every card shows its own.
Is there a trial period?
There’s no free trial. But you can browse sample hooks without an account, and a free account opens 10 hooks a week, so you can see if it’s useful before you pay.
What’s the deal with the free plan and refunds?
The free account opens 10 hooks a week, read-only. Membership is $30 a month or $195 a year. Cancel any time and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Your first payment can be refunded within 14 days. Details are in the refund policy.
I’m a creator and my video is in the library. Can you remove it?
Yes. Email hello@useviralhooks.com with the link to your post and we’ll remove it within 48 hours. See the takedown section of our terms.
I bought Viralhooks before. Do I pay again?
No. Everyone who paid for Viralhooks in the past keeps free lifetime access as a founding member. Sign in with the email you bought with, and if it doesn’t work, email us.
