Some hooks come with all three: on-screen text, voiceover and visual.
Your creator gets the line, your editor gets the on-screen text, both from the same ad.
19 supplement hooks have all three so far (294 across the whole library). The rest give you the spoken line word for word, which is what the Ad Library records.

What founders say
My briefs used to say “make the hook catchy”. Now I paste three hooks that ran past 90 days and let the creator pick the one that sounds like them.
The days-live sort is the part I use. I stopped copying competitor ads that turned out to be a week old.
Our editor works straight from the templates now. I don't get “what should the hook be?” messages at 10pm anymore.

Built by a studio that makes supplement ads.
Shaanks makes ads for supplement brands. We built this library for our own briefs: hooks pulled from the Meta Ad Library, transcribed word for word, sorted by how long the ad has run and linked back to the real ad.
Questions
What exactly do I get for $19?
Your own login to the supplement library: 1,784 supplement hooks you can search, filter by product, sort by days live and turn into your own line with a template. One payment, no subscription.
I sell more than supplements. Can I get every niche?
Yes. Every niche is $29: 9,041 hooks across 22 niches, from skincare and haircare to pets, home and apparel. Choose it at checkout. If you start with supplements, you can upgrade from inside the library for the $10 difference.
I already write good hooks. What does this add?
Proof of what lasted. Before you borrow a competitor's opening, you can see how long their ad has been live. And on the weeks you write ten briefs instead of one, 1,681 templates are ready for your product.
Isn't this just a swipe file?
A swipe file keeps the whole ad, and you still have to work out which three seconds did the work. Here the first line is already pulled out, nearly every one links to the real ad, and most show how long that ad has been live.
Does a long run mean the ad worked?
It means the brand kept paying for it. Few brands do that for months with a loser, but treat it as where to start testing and let your own numbers decide.
Where do the hooks come from?
Paid supplement ads in the Meta Ad Library, plus a few organic reels our team saved, which are marked as reels.
Do hooks come with on-screen text and visuals?
Where the source recorded them, yes: 19 supplement hooks today. Most carry the spoken line word for word, because that's what the Ad Library gives us.
Will it work for my product?
It covers gummies, creatine, greens, GLP-1 and weight loss, gut health, women's and men's health, sleep, collagen, electrolytes, nootropics, protein and kids. If you sell something next door, the templates are written to take your product.
How do I get in? Can I start today?
Yes. Your login arrives by email straight after you pay. The library runs in your browser on a phone or laptop, so there's nothing to install.
Why is there a quiz before I pay?
Seven taps. Your first answer decides what your library opens on, so you land on hooks for your product, not everyone's.
What if it's not for me?
Reply to your receipt within 14 days and we refund the $19.
Write tomorrow's brief from hooks your competitors already paid to test.
