What it does that most swipe files don’t

We looked at 21 swipe file and hook templates in Notion and what their buyers struggle with: a blank page when it’s time to write, and good examples lost in screenshot folders. This one keeps the reason a swipe works and a version you can reuse.

  • Save a swipe

    One click opens a new swipe. Paste the screenshot, add the link and pick the type.

  • Why it works

    One line on why it caught your eye, then a fill-in version with [blanks] you can reuse in your own words.

  • 115 fill-in hooks

    First lines in eight angles, from curiosity to urgency, for the days you stare at a blank page.

  • Test, then Winner

    Move a swipe from To test to Testing to Winner, so you know which ones worked for you and which only looked good.

We set it up from a fresh copy, the way you’ll get it: saved a swipe, cleared the samples and checked that our swipe, the 115 hooks and the 10 formulas stayed.

What’s inside

The main page has Save a swipe, Recently saved, the Testing board, the Hook bank, the formulas and every swipe by type. Each swipe has its own page.

Swipe pages

Type, status, angle, the screenshot, why it works, the fill-in version, platform, funnel stage and where you found it. Ads, headlines, posts and landing pages all fit.

Emails

A New email page for emails and subject lines, with the same why it works and fill-in version, like this welcome email from a made-up candle shop.

Testing board

Columns from Saved to Retired. Drag a card along as you try the idea in your own ad, post or email.

Hook bank

Eight angles, each in its own group, from curiosity and pain to stories and last calls. Copy a hook and fill the [blanks].

Also in the template

  • 10 copy formulas

    AIDA, PAS, Before After Bridge and seven more, each explained in a line or two.

  • Favorites

    Tick Favorite on the swipes you come back to and find them on their own tab.

  • Notion AI prompt

    With Notion AI, a prompt on every new swipe drafts the reusable version for you. Everything else works without it.

  • Sample swipes

    32 swipes from made-up brands show how it works. One button on Start here clears them, and the hooks and formulas stay.

How to use it

  1. See an ad or email you like? Click Save a swipe.

  2. Paste the screenshot and write Why it works.

  3. Need a first line? Open the Hook bank.

  4. Try it, and move it to Winner if it works.

Set it up in about five minutes

You do this once. It’s easiest on a computer, and saving a swipe works on your phone too.

Is it right for you?

A good fit if

  • You screenshot ads and emails you like and can never find them again.
  • You write your own copy and want a faster way to a first line.
  • You want to know which ideas worked when you tried them.
  • You run the social media or ads for a small business.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want ads pulled in for you from ad libraries. You save each swipe yourself.
  • You want finished copy written for you. The hooks are starters you fill in.
  • You track ad spend and results. Our Meta Ads Tracker is made for that.

Questions

Does it work on the free Notion plan?

Yes, all of it. Screenshots can be up to 5 MB each there, and most are far smaller.

Can I save a swipe from my phone?

Yes. Share a link to Notion from your phone, or open the template in the Notion app and paste a screenshot into a new swipe.

Are the sample swipes real ads?

No. They’re from made-up brands with our own pictures, so you can see how it works without copying anyone. Clear them when you’re ready.

Do I need Notion AI?

No. Everything works without it. With Notion AI, the prompt on a new swipe drafts the reusable version for you.

Where does the template go after I pay?

You download a Start here PDF from Etsy with the template link. Open the link and click the Duplicate icon at the top of the page, and the copy is yours to keep and change.
