Pull score
5/5

How hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment.

Why this qualified

Running 65x the account's own baseline, this post reached 99K views against the 1.5K a normal post there sees. That is the whole test for an outlier in Handler - reach measured against the account's own median rather than against other accounts, so a small account with a genuine breakout still qualifies while a big account coasting on its size does not.

A couple widget app is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 5/5, 57.9% weighted - is what says viewers acted on it, since saves and shares weigh in hardest and a save is the clearest sign a viewer means to come back.

The counts behind those scores: 27K likes, 70 comments, 6.5K shares, and 1.1K saves. Saves and shares are weighted heaviest because they are the actions that carry a post into more feeds.

The full breakdown - why the hook works, the comment-intent read, and the ready-to-shoot dupe kit - lives inside Handler.

Anatomy

The video opens as a silent user-generated recording running for about 10 seconds. It moves through two to three brief beats filmed from a personal perspective. Without any spoken dialogue, the post relies on visual cues and on-screen text overlays centered on a long-distance relationship theme. The pacing is steady, transitioning between candid lifestyle clips and a direct view of the Tethered app on a phone screen. Text elements remain fixed over the footage, aligning with the caption note about handling distance. The app interface is showcased midway through the runtime, presenting its core screen before the final frame.
