A Verdict for Every Reel
Know at a glance which Reels worked.
Every Reel gets one plain sentence about what happened, like people scrolling away in the first 3 seconds. Under it sit five checks, from the first 3 seconds to first week reach.
- Judged against your own Reels, never against other creators
- Better than usual, about usual or below usual, in plain words
- Open a Reel to see what happened and what to do next
Your Last 30 Days
The answer first, the details a tap away.
The Overview opens with your last 30 days: Reels posted, how many did better than usual, and how many need attention. What to do next turns them into one lesson for your next Reel.
- Your weak spots grouped into one lesson, with a step for your next Reel
- Write a better opening for your next Reel in Hook Writer
- Plan another like your best Reel, or a better version, straight into your Content Calendar
What Works
See which Reels your audience shares most.
What works shows which lengths and formats your audience shares most. Your shares and saves are tracked month by month, so you can see what is changing.
Your Whole Account
Your posting rhythm and new followers, side by side.
See how often you posted in recent weeks, and the day your Reels tend to get the most views. New followers per day sit beside it, with the days you posted marked.
- Every figure comes from your connected Instagram account
- When Instagram has not shared a number, the page says so instead of guessing
- Followers are counted for your whole account, because Instagram does not say which Reel brought them
