Hooks – Get Custom Notifications for Everything Important to You

Hooks, the mobile news alerts app, is sunset. One of the original founders is now building AISEOMate — an AI SEO copilot that plans, writes, and optimizes content to grow organic traffic.

Hooks – Get Custom Notifications for Everything Important to You launched on March 4, 2015 with 67 votes, #893 of 2,697 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Hooks was a mobile news alerts app that is no longer active. One of its original founders is now building AISEOMate, an AI SEO copilot that plans, writes, and optimizes content to increase organic traffic for websites. The founder is also developing PentestMate, an AI-driven penetration testing service using autonomous security agents to assess and protect websites, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. Support for Hooks has been discontinued.
