Skip the hook
The first eight seconds of a Reel exist to stop your thumb. SkimHop starts where the information starts.
Keep the useful part
The steps, the numbers, the ingredient list — as text you can read at your own pace.
Ask what got glossed over
How long, how much, what temperature. Ask, and get the answer with the second it was said.
Questions people actually ask
Can it summarize a whole account?
Not yet. Summarizing several videos at once is coming with the knowledge library.
Does it work on Instagram Live replays?
Yes, as long as the replay is still available.
How short is too short?
Under about ten seconds you'll just get the transcript, since there's nothing to condense.
Do I need the extension?
No, but it's much faster — a SkimHop button appears right on the post.
Is it free?
Yes for a set number of skims each month, with a paid plan for heavier use.
