Mark hooks → get a shareable report

HookLens labels the hooks that keep you scrolling

Upload an app screenshot, mark addictive UI regions, and get a readable Addiction Report.
Not Screen Time. Not a blocker. A name tag on the trap.

Looply sample screenshot

See the trap on the screen

HookLens turns vague “this app is addictive” into labeled regions you can show a friend in under two minutes.

Screenshot in

Upload your own capture or pick a sample — including a Looply feed screenshot.

Boxes on the hooks

Drag rectangles onto infinite scroll, badges, related rails, autoplay — and write why it pulls you back.

Report out

Generate a summary plus findings list you can reopen and share on /report.

Why HookLens
