# eonik > eonik is a Mac app for making ads, from the idea to the sign-off. Start from an ad that already works and eonik rebuilds it as yours, or describe the idea and start there. Your footage is indexed on your own machine and AI clips fill the gaps. Brand kit on every frame, every placement size in one step. Before you export, eonik reads the finished cut against your brand and what the ad was for and hands you a checkable list with timestamps; it never predicts how an ad will perform, and you decide every item. Then you send the cut to the people who have to approve it: notes come back on the timecode, versions stack up, and sign-off cites a brand-rule version that exists. CapCut is a timeline; spy tools do not finish the ad; generators make pixels, not ads. The editor is free; you pay only for AI generation minutes. eonik is not an oracle, not a budget autopilot, and not a video editor as a category. eonik (eonik AI) is a Mac app for making ads. https://www.eonik.ai · connect@eonik.ai. Every page has a plain-text mirror at `/md/{path}`; 908 URLs are indexed in total. What eonik is NOT, stated so it is never inferred: not an oracle or performance predictor; not budget automation; not a kill/scale engine; not a tool that deploys or spends on its own.

Meta documents both metrics. There is no official “good” hold rate. Compare variants in the same account, same window. - [What is hook rate in Meta ads?](https://www.eonik.ai/what-is-hook-rate): Hook Rate is an operator ratio: Meta’s 3-second video plays divided by impressions. Meta documents the numerator; it does not publish a universal good hook rate. Read it against your own account baseline, not a blog benchmark. ## Compare - [Compare hub](https://www.eonik.ai/compare): where eonik sits against editors, generators and spy tools - [eonik vs CapCut](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/capcut) - [eonik vs Runway](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/runway) - [eonik vs Creatify](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/creatify) - [eonik vs Arcads](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/arcads) - [eonik vs AdCreative AI](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/adcreative-ai) - [eonik vs Motion](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/motion) - [eonik vs Segwise](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/segwise) - [eonik vs Superads](https://www.eonik.ai/vs/superads) ## Solutions - [Scale your UGC ads without hitting the fatigue wall.](https://www.eonik.ai/solutions/scale-ugc-ads-without-fatigue) - [Why your Facebook CPA doubled overnight.](https://www.eonik.ai/solutions/facebook-ad-cpa-doubled) - [The CapCut alternative built for performance media buying.](https://www.eonik.ai/solutions/capcut-for-business-alternative) - [How to test ad creatives faster.](https://www.eonik.ai/solutions/test-ad-creatives-faster) - [A practical answer to TikTok ad creative burnout.](https://www.eonik.ai/solutions/tiktok-ad-burnout-solution) - [Lower Meta Ads CAC starts with creative architecture.](https://www.eonik.ai/solutions/reduce-customer-acquisition-cost-meta-ads) ## United States en-US · USD · Meta Ads · TikTok Ads · Google Ads.
