**Caption Studio** Captions do real work on short-form, so Clip Cradle now scores them the way it already scores hooks. Type or paste a caption and get a live 0–100 read on the four things that matter most — a first line that stays above the "more" fold, one clear call-to-action, a question that invites comments, and a sensible number of hashtags — with a verdict and specific tips. Twelve fill-in caption structures across four families are bundled to get you started. **Posting Cadence** A simple, honest view of your week. Set a weekly target, and Clip Cradle turns the due dates already on your clip plans into a by-weekday chart, tells you how many you have planned in the next seven days, flags the gap days, and points out when everything is bunched onto one day. **Backup and restore** Save every clip plan as a single JSON file you can AirDrop, keep in iCloud Drive, or move to a new phone. Restoring merges the file back in — matching plans are updated and new ones are added, so nothing gets lost. Everything still runs fully offline: no account, no tracking, no subscription.

What's New - Clip Cradle 1.2 Clip Cradle 1.2 turns the planner into a real short-form production toolkit. Hook Studio Write a scroll-stopping opener. Browse 18 proven hook structures across six families (Contrarian, Mistake, List, Question, Result, Direct Address), each with a fill-in template, a worked example, and why it works. Type or paste your own hook and get a live 0-100 score on four signals - tight length, curiosity, direct address, and a concrete number - with a verdict and specific tips. Delivery Reference A bundled, offline reference for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts: aspect ratio, resolution, max length, and max file size, plus each platform's on-screen safe zone - the top, bottom, and side UI bands in pixels and percent - with a scaled 9:16 preview of the clear band where your hook and captions stay visible. Platform fit check Set a target platform and a planned length on any clip plan. Clip Cradle instantly shows which platforms can hold it and which it overflows, and warns you when a clip is too long for the platform you picked. Production-sheet PDF Export any clip plan as a clean US-Letter PDF - brief, numbered shot list, delivery block with safe-zone margins, and a delivery checklist - ready to share or print. Everything stays fully offline: no account, no tracking, no subscription.
