A fill-in script for a TikTok, Reel or Short — hook, setup, three beats, payoff, call to action — timed against the platform limit as you type. Free, no login.
A hook (the first three seconds), a setup (why it matters), three beats (one idea each), a payoff (what the hook promised) and one call to action. The template has a box for each, with a note on what goes in it.
Each box is timed from its word count at your speaking pace — 130, 150 or 170 words a minute, with Chinese and Japanese counted per character — and the total is checked against the platform you pick. The same maths as the free Script Timer.
The hook under three seconds, the setup under ten, and the beats roughly equal. For a 60-second TikTok that's about 140 words at a normal pace. The template flags a hook that runs long.
It's kept in this browser so a reload doesn't lose it, and it never reaches Hookova's servers. Copy it as text or print it to keep a copy.
No — this is a structure, not a generator. The free Hook Generator writes opening lines for the first box; the rest is yours.
