Refract turns one idea or one video into a week of posts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts

For TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts

One idea in. / A week of posts out.

Refract turns one idea, or a video you’ve already filmed, into hooks, captions, titles, and a posting plan shaped for each app. Free to start.

Every app gets its own version.

A hook made for TikTok’s first second. A caption that reads well on Reels. A title people search for on YouTube.

Then your week plans itself.

Keep the versions you like and Refract spreads them across seven days, rest day included. Export the week to your calendar in one click.

For TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts

One idea in. A week of posts out.

Hooks, captions, titles, and a posting plan for each app, from one idea or one video. Free to start.

The problem

Posting everywhere shouldn’t feel like three jobs.

  1. 01

    You open the app with nothing to say.

  2. 02

    You post the same clip everywhere, and two apps ignore it.

  3. 03

    The captions your tools write sound like nobody you know.

Refract takes the part that eats your time: turning one good idea into the right words for each app, then deciding when each one goes out.

How it works

One idea. Three versions. One calm week.

01

Type one idea.

A sentence is plenty. “My 5am routine” works. So does “why I quit coffee.”

02

Get a version for each app.

Three hooks for TikTok, two captions for Reels, three titles for YouTube Shorts. Edit any line, copy it in one click.

03

Add it to your week.

Refract places each post on a day, then exports the week to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook.

AI video analysis

Already filmed it? Let AI watch it first.

Upload a video and Refract’s AI looks through it moment by moment, then writes a title, a description, captions for each app, hashtags, hooks, and on-screen text. You can also paste a link to your own TikTok or YouTube post.

  • Your video stays on your device. Refract takes a few still frames in your browser and sends only those to the AI.
  • Free with an account. 5 analyses a day, for videos up to 3 minutes.
  • Pro looks deeper. 16 moments per video, up to 15 minutes, plus the best thumbnail moment, a scene-by-scene breakdown, chapters, and search keywords.
Example output for a short cooking video. Your results depend on your video.

Features

Made for the way creators actually post.

A version for each app

Hooks for TikTok, captions for Reels, titles for YouTube Shorts. Not one caption pasted three times.

Writes the way you do

Paste a few of your posts. Refract matches your length, emoji habits, hashtags, capital letters, and sign-off.

Rewrite any line with AI

With Pro, make a hook punchier, a caption calmer, or translate it into 12 languages. It follows your style settings.

A week, planned for you

Each idea lands on the right days, with a rest day built in. Move posts around and tick them off as you go.

Exports to your calendar

Download the week as a calendar file for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. Pro adds a live feed that updates on its own.

Private by default

The writing tools need no account and keep your ideas in this browser. AI features send only what they need, never your video file.

The weekly plan

Know what to post before Monday.

Every idea becomes a week: what to post, where, and which version. Tick posts off as you go and export the week to your calendar.

Your style

Captions that sound like you wrote them.

Paste a few posts you’ve already made. Refract picks up your length, emoji habits, hashtags, and sign-off, and writes the same way.

FAQ

The questions creators ask first.

Yes. The writing tools are free with no time limit and no sign-up. A free account adds 5 AI video analyses a day. Pro costs $9 a month or $90 a year, with prices shown in your currency where we support it.

The writing tools don’t. They use proven hook, caption, and title patterns that run in your browser, which is why they’re instant and unlimited. AI video analysis and AI rewrites use Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. Treat every result as a draft you can edit.

The video file stays on your device. Refract takes a few still frames in your browser and sends only those, plus any notes you type, to the AI to write your text. Refract doesn’t keep the frames after the analysis finishes.

You can paste a link to a TikTok or YouTube post that you own or have permission to use. Refract reads its public title, caption, and cover image through each platform’s official embed service and never downloads the video. Instagram only shares post details with approved apps, so for Instagram, upload the video file instead.

Paste a few of your posts in Your style. Refract matches your length, emoji use, hashtags, capital letters, and sign-off. Pro adds a tone description and a list of words the AI should never use.

On the free plan, your ideas and weeks are saved in this browser on this device. With Pro, they also sync to your account so they’re on every device where you sign in. You can delete everything at any time.

Yes, any time, from Manage billing in your account. Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for, then your account moves to Free. Payments are handled by Stripe, so Refract never sees your card details.

No. Pick the apps you use and Refract only writes and plans for those.

Yes. Download the week as a calendar file for Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook. Pro adds a live calendar address that updates by itself whenever your plan changes.

No. Refract writes and plans. You stay in charge of what goes live and when.
