About Hacks Detective

Somebody, somewhere, has already figured out a better way to do it. Hacks Detective finds them.

We are a digital publisher for people who like small improvements: a faster way to peel garlic, a cleaner way to store clothes, a cheaper way to fix a tool. We also follow the curious stories that turn up while we are looking.

Tried, not just repeated

A hack is only useful if it works. Where we can, we explain why a trick works and when it will not, and we flag anything that needs care around heat, chemicals or tools.

What we cover

Our sections map the territory. Home & Cleaning collects cleaning, organizing and repair tricks for around the house. Food & Kitchen covers kitchen tricks, recipes and food hacks. Money Savers finds the tricks that stretch a budget further. Beauty & Style covers beauty routines, skincare and style tips. Curious Finds collects the odd stories and discoveries we turn up along the way.

How we work

Stories are researched from reputable reporting, official sources, published books and the people involved. Where accounts conflict or a claim is disputed, we say so rather than pick the better tale. Photographs are credited wherever the source is known. Mistakes get fixed in place, and material corrections are noted at the foot of the story. Our full Editorial Policy is public.

Hacks Detective (https://hacksdetective.com) is published by Cupcakes Holdings LTD, an independent digital publishing company registered in Israel, and is written by a network of contributing writers and editors.
