ABOUT QICK

Qick is a content nutrition label for the internet.

Qick helps you pause before you click, watch, read or scroll. Paste a public link, share content to Qick, or use private image checks with Qick Plus, and Qick gives you a simple score for whether that content looks worth your attention.

What is Qick?

Qick is a check-before-you-click app for links, videos, articles, social posts and images.

It gives content a Qick Score from 0 to 100, then breaks that score into three simple signals: Value, Bait and Cost. The goal is not to shame your scrolling. The goal is to help you make a better choice before your attention disappears into another tab, feed or rabbit hole.

What does Qick score?

Qick looks at the visible public information around a piece of content, such as the title, description, thumbnail, source, platform, caption or preview image when available.

  • YouTube videos and Shorts
  • Articles and blog posts
  • Public social posts
  • Direct image links
  • Public web content
  • Private screenshot/image checks with Qick Plus

Qick does not need to replace your judgement. It gives you a quick read before you decide what to do next.

What is a Qick Score?

A Qick Score is a 0–100 signal for whether a piece of content looks worth your attention.

Higher scores generally mean the content looks more useful, thoughtful, practical or genuinely worthwhile. Lower scores suggest the content may be more bait-heavy, low-value or costly to your focus, time or mood.

Value

How much you are likely to gain from the content.

Bait

How strongly the content tries to pull you in with hype, curiosity, outrage or manipulation.

Cost

How much time, focus, mood or attention the content may take from you.

Why Qick exists

The internet is very good at getting clicks. It is not always good at respecting attention.

A headline can look urgent. A thumbnail can look irresistible. A post can feel important for three seconds and pointless ten minutes later.

Qick exists for that small moment before the click. It helps you ask:

Is this actually worth my attention?

Qick is not a fact checker

Qick does not claim that content is true or false. It is not a medical, legal, financial or safety authority.

Qick scores content based on attention quality signals: usefulness, bait, likely cost and visible context. It helps you decide whether something looks worth your time. It does not replace your own judgement or independent verification.

Designed for attention, not surveillance

Qick is built to help you understand your own content habits. Your personal Qick history, private checks, notes, ratings and goals are part of your private account experience.

Public link scores may be reused to avoid rescoring the same public content unnecessarily. Private screenshots, private logs and personal history are treated as user-specific.

Who is Qick for?

Qick is for people who want a little more control before they click.

Qick is for people who:

  • open too many tempting videos
  • get pulled into social feeds
  • save articles you never read
  • want to avoid low-value clickbait
  • want to understand your content habits
  • want a calmer way to use the internet

Qick is not about quitting the internet. It is about using your attention more intentionally.
