How it works

YouTube to notes in four steps

  1. 01

    Paste any YouTube URL

    Lectures, tutorials, playlists — public and many unlisted links work.

  2. 02

    AI reads the transcript

    Key ideas, examples, and definitions are extracted and structured.

  3. 03

    Get notes and timestamps

    Skim by section without rewatching the full video.

  4. 04

    Generate flashcards & quizzes

    Test yourself on what the video taught.

Skip the rewatch

Paste a link. Skip hours of video.

Structured notes from any explainer or lecture.
