YouTube's Shorts algorithm ranks on one thing above all: did people keep watching, or swipe past? If your hook leaks viewers in the first few seconds, the algorithm stops showing it — no matter how good the rest is.
You can see a retention graph in YouTube Studio — but one video at a time, with no score and no "is this good or bad?" answer.
They're built around long-form SEO and keywords. Shorts-hook diagnosis isn't their job — and they're $19–49/mo.
Which of your hooks actually worked? Right now there's no way to line them up and learn the pattern.
Every new Short is a fresh gamble. You change things at random and hope the algorithm likes it this time.
A lightweight Chrome extension. No new account, no copy-pasting links.
One click sign-in with Google. We use YouTube's official read-only analytics access — your data, your permission, revoke anytime. We never post or change anything.
Using your official retention data, we measure how many viewers stay through the critical opening seconds and turn it into a single 0–100 hook score, benchmarked against how that length of Short usually performs.
All your Shorts ranked worst-to-best, the exact frame where each one leaks viewers, and a plain-English read on what your strongest hooks have in common.
We'd rather you trust us than be disappointed. Here's the honest scope:

Yes. We use Google's official sign-in with read-only analytics access. We can only read your stats — we can't post, edit, delete, or change anything on your channel, and you can revoke access from your Google account at any time.
It works as soon as your Shorts have a bit of view data to read. Hook scoring is based on retention, not subscriber count — so small channels get the same insight as big ones.
Studio shows a retention graph one video at a time with no score and no comparison. Hook Doctor turns that into a single hook score, ranks all your Shorts together, and tells you what to fix — in seconds instead of digging.
Those are long-form SEO suites built around keywords and tags, priced at $19–49/mo. Hook Doctor does one thing they don't: diagnose the first 3 seconds of your Shorts. It's focused, lightweight, and a one-time founding price.
No — and we won't pretend otherwise. YouTube's analytics settle about 1–2 days after you post. Hook Doctor is a coach you use to make your next Short better, not a live dashboard.
Founding members get a full refund if the extension isn't in the Chrome Web Store within 60 days. No risk to back it early.
