Notes list
The "notes app" video shows a phone's notes screen with a bold title and a short list that types itself out, line by line, each one ticked off. It's a staple of creator and brand content because it's instantly readable, feels personal, and packs a list — tips, benefits, steps — into ten seconds.
Why it works
- It looks native. Everyone has a notes app; the format reads as a personal list, not an ad.
- It's skimmable. A title and short lines are readable even on mute.
- It rewards watching. Each new line is a small reveal, so viewers wait for the next one.
When to use it
- Tips and listicles — "5 things that changed my ads".
- Product benefits as a checklist — each line a reason to buy.
- Before-launch to-do lists — a teaser where the last item is "launch on Friday".
- Routines — morning routines, packing lists, setups.
Write the list
- Title (up to seven words): the promise. "Things that changed my ads" beats "My tips".
- Lines (two to six, under nine words each): lead with the most surprising item, end with the strongest.
- Optional date line: makes it feel like a real note ("Monday 14 Oct").
Example:
Things that changed my ads
- Hook in the first second
- Captions on everything
- One idea per video
- Test five hooks, not one
- Post the winner everywhere
Design tips
- Light mode feels personal; dark mode feels techy — pick the one your audience uses.
- Keep each line to one row on a phone; long lines wrap and slow the reveal.
- About two seconds per line plus the title keeps the video around 8–14 seconds.
- Keep the list inside the vertical safe zone (check it here).
Make it with Claude Opus 5.5 (or any agent)
Use the free Notes App List Skill. After installing it, ask:
Make a Notes App video titled "Things that changed my ads" with five short tips about hooks, captions and testing. Dark mode.
Your agent drafts the lines, shows them to you, checks their length and renders the video locally — 9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, plus 1:1 or 4:5 for feeds if you want them. Adapt the list for each language rather than translating word for word; the Skill renders CJK text properly. More ideas in 20 simple promo video formats.
FAQ
Can it look like dark mode? Yes; set the paper and ink colours.
How many items can I use? Two to six. More than that and each line gets too little screen time.
