Hook scores your headline live as you type, highlighting power words, emotional words, and weak spots. Preview exactly how it'll look in Google search results before you publish, and compare a few options side by side to see which one actually wins.
Hey everyone 👋
I write online a lot, and I kept noticing the same thing: the headline is the one sentence almost everyone reads, and I was still just guessing at mine every time — writing it last, publishing, and finding out later if it worked.
So I built Hook. It scores your headline live as you type — 0 to 100, based on length, word balance, structure, and emotional pull — and highlights the specific words doing the work (or not). It also previews exactly how the title will display in Google search results, so you catch truncation before you publish instead of after. There's a compare panel too: paste a few headline options and see them ranked instantly.
It's a single HTML file — no account, no server, nothing you type ever leaves your browser. I built it that way on purpose; I didn't want a headline-scoring tool that needed my unpublished drafts to work.
One honest note: the score is a heuristic, not a promise — no tool can guarantee a click. What it does is catch the same patterns an experienced editor checks for by habit, in seconds.
Would genuinely love feedback, especially on the scoring — if there's a pattern it should catch and doesn't, tell me and I'll take a look.
