Recon is a Chrome extension for short-form video creators. It analyzes the Instagram Reels and TikTok videos you browse to surface top-performing hooks, trending audios, and outlier videos in your niche, and organizes them into an analytics dashboard.
Recon reads every reel as it passes and turns it into structured intelligence — no clipping, tagging, or manual research.
Recon auto-transcribes the opening line of every reel you watch, so you can see the exact hooks that stop the scroll — ranked by how they perform in your niche.
It tracks the sounds recurring across the videos you browse and ranks them by how often they resurface — so you catch a trend while it's still rising, not after it peaks.
Recon flags videos massively overperforming a creator's own norm — the breakout posts worth studying, not just the accounts that are already big.
Recon runs quietly in the background and builds your dashboard from the content you were going to watch anyway.
Add Recon from the Chrome Web Store and create your free account — it only takes a few seconds.
Open Instagram or TikTok and browse your feed like you always do. Recon reads the reels as they appear.
Hooks, audios, outliers and transcripts collect automatically in the popup — nothing to clip, tag, or upload.
Overview, Audios, Hooks, Outliers and Transcripts — all in one fast popup that lives right next to your feed.
